More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A cool salt tang rides the breeze as you step from the shaded city into the wide, open sweep of the Mediterranean. An instructor meets you in a private, air-conditioned vehicle and points out the shoreline — a band of sand where local surfers read the swell and gulls circle like small, impatient judges.

History
Tel Aviv’s shoreline developed rapidly in the 20th century alongside the city’s expansion from historic Jaffa; the beach culture became central to local outdoor life.
Conservation
The Mediterranean coast is sensitive to litter and runoff—use reef-safe sunscreen, pack out trash, and respect flagged or closed swimming zones to protect marine life.
Reserve your spot on the Private Surfing Lesson Tour in Tel Aviv today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive hydrated
Drink water before the lesson—sea spray and exertion dehydrate quickly, and instructors expect you ready to go.
Wear a swimsuit under your clothes
Changing on the spot is faster; a lightweight rashguard helps prevent chafing in the water.
Time for tides
Book morning sessions for smaller winds and cleaner waves when possible.
Know your swim comfort
You must be able to swim and feel comfortable in shoulder-deep water; tell the instructor about any concerns.
Swimsuit
Wear under clothes so you can change quickly and stay comfortable in the water.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated before and after the lesson keeps energy up and prevents cramps.

Quick-dry towel
