Tel Aviv Beach buzzed with activity on Sunday morning as locals and tourists embraced fitness, games and culture along the Mediterranean shoreline.

The cool winter air was defied by crowds claiming spots, setting up volleyball nets, yoga mats and coffee stands while seagulls wheeled overhead. Sun‑rising hues turned the promenade into a kaleidoscope of colour and sound.

Fitness enthusiasts jogged on a dedicated pavement, cyclists whizzed by, and strangers teamed up for beach football, their laughter carried by the sea breeze. Volleyball players warmed up for friendly matches, their spikes echoing across the sand.

“Fitness offers huge health benefits, so people don’t want to miss it,” said Samuel, a regular participant who finished his morning routine with a jog. His comment reflects the growing health‑conscious vibe among beachgoers of all ages.

Swimmers slipped into the calm Mediterranean waters while children built sandcastles, their giggles adding to the symphony of waves and chatter. Sun‑worshippers spread out on umbrellas and lounged on sunbeds, soaking up the strengthening rays.

Street performers painted the boardwalk with live music and artistic displays, while vendors sold fresh juices, snacks and souvenirs, creating a vibrant marketplace that rivals Accra’s Osu night‑market.

Tel Aviv, known as the “White City,” blends modern skyscrapers with historic Bauhaus architecture, offering Ghanaian travellers a striking contrast to the colonial‑era charm of Ghana’s coastal towns. Both destinations share a love for beach life, yet Tel Aviv’s 14 kilometres of shoreline provide a denser mix of water sports and cultural events.

This week the city also hosts the 2025 Planetech summit, drawing climate innovators and start‑ups from around the globe – a reminder that the beach is not just for leisure but also a hub of ideas that could inspire Ghana’s emerging green tech sector.

As the sun climbed higher, the beach’s energy crescendoed into a full‑body experience, inviting visitors to unwind, stay active and soak in a cultural tapestry that promises unforgettable memories for any Ghanaian holidaymaker.
