Nahariya, founded in 1935 by German Jewish refugees, is the northernmost city on Israel’s coast. A stream runs down its eucalyptus-lined main boulevard to a seafront park, promenade and beaches.

North of the center, a new neighborhood of about 1,050 homes is rising 200 m from Achziv beach, next to a coastal strip declared a national park.
