The Achziv National Park (http://www.parks.org.il/B...) sometimes called Akhziv is a great way to spend an afternoon. The park's entrance fee, âª55, includes access to the secluded beaches, nearby Crusader Castle, picnic areas, and restaurant - when it's open. This beach is known for its abundant sea life, including sea turtles during July and August when they come ashore to lay their eggs.
The Achziv National Park Beach is a must, but the sights along the coast are also worth the walk on the paved side road that runs north to south. You will see many fishermen along ridges of small water filled pools that give the illusion that they are standing on the water. These strange pool like formations house a lot of sea life worth taking a closer look at.
Rosh Hanikra, the stunning white chalk cliffs to the North, are a must if in the area
Achzivland. In the 70's Eli Avivi, an Israeli hipster, declared this piece of land next to the Achziv National Park an Independent nation. Avivi's micro-nation has not been officially recognized by the Israeli government, but he will stamp your passport if you enter through the foreboding fence that surrounds this tiny bit of land. Achzivland boasts is own private beach, a cheap hostel, and a museum.
