Herzliya
Herzliya is a prosperous city on Israel's central coast, in the northern part of the Tel Aviv District, known for its vibrant start-up and entrepreneurial culture. Herzliya, named after Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism, is 21.6 square kilometers in size. Its western, beachfront district, known as Herzliya Pituah, is one of Israel's most affluent neighborhoods, housing numerous embassies, ambassadors' residences, company headquarters, and the homes of prominent Israeli business people.
Herzliya's sandy beach and marina are exactly what you're looking for in a Mediterranean seaside city, just a little further down the coast towards Tel Aviv. You can walk along the beach or visit one of the many beach bars and restaurants that line the coast. Rentable sun loungers and umbrellas are available, and golden sand slopes into sparkling waters. In addition to being an upscale tourist destination, Herzliya has a thriving industrial area dominated by high-tech companies for those looking to mix business and pleasure.
