Rosh Haniqra Hebrew: ראש הנקרה "head of the rock caves"; also transliterated Rosh Hanikra is a dazzlingly white coastal rock cliff formation on the far North Coast of Israel, some 7 km 4.5 miles north of Akhziv. Rosh Hanikra is the northernmost point on the Mediterranean shore of Israel, the place where the chalk mountain ridge meets the sea essentially marking the still hot! border with Lebanon to the north. Despite its precarious location, visitors are safe being mostly underground and are rewarded by the sweet smelling limestone caverns and emerald-blue pools. The immediate coast is studded with inlets, lagoons and small beaches. On a clear day, the city of Haifa can be seen to the south.
