There is a charming promenade with many seats available overlooking the sea. The promenade is paved all along the seafront, making use of the ancient track that once served for the movement of many peoples in times of antiquity. Much later, the British built the railroad track along its length, the remains of which can be seen along the promenade and the visitors' site of Rosh Hanikra.

We recommend you walk along the waterfront, thus revealing before your eyes the world of wildlife and vegetation along the coast. View the inlets and small pools, some of which were quarried by the Phoenicians (the Sidonians) to serve them in their many crafts, such as: Salt-drying, snail-storing for producing the pale blue and purple dyes, quarrying rock for building, winepresses and more. 
The promenade crosses into the Rosh Hanikra nature reserve, continuing to the "Batzet" coast, one of the nicest beaches in Israel where the giant sea turtles arrive to lay their eggs.
Continuing on, Batzet Stream crosses the promenade and at its end stands a monument commemorating the illegal immigration to Israel during the British Mandate period. The monument is made of broken pieces of the illegal immigration ships, among them ships once destined for Nahariya.   

Recommended Tour

The tour starts out with a visit to the grottoes at the visitors' site at Rosh Hanikra, first watching the light-sound show. Then we arrive (by foot or car) to the sea promenade which starts at the northern point, near the outer gate of the Mandatory Period train tunnel at the site. We view the southern inlet, looking for the hyrax sunning themselves (mostly in the early morning and in the afternoon). From there we continue on by foot; we recommend going barefoot along the sea promenade at the water's edge. You can have a nice break at the Batzet Beach, the Batzet thicket or at one of the many the bird's-eye lookouts along the promenade.      

Please note: On Saturdays and holidays it is possible to head to the southern inlet and the sea promenade via the Mandatory Period train tunnel at the site. On the way back you ascend with the cable car, arriving at the car-park. On regular weekdays, after visiting the tourist site of Rosh Hanikra, one should park his car near the gate at the train tunnel (the northern point of the sea promenade).
