Run by Kibbutz Mitzpe Shalem, this is one of the nicest of the Dead Sea beaches. After having a float and glopping black mud onto your skin, you can soak in naturally sulphurous spring water (39°C) or indulge in a Tibetan or Swedish massage. Lockers and towels each cost 10NIS (plus a 10NIS deposit). Has a cafeteria and transport down to the receding water line. Wheelchair accessible. Camping is not permitted.
Had you dropped by here on 18 September 2011, you would have seen more than a thousand completely nude Israelis being photographed by the artist Spencer Tunick.
