The beach and outdoors
Two kilometres of promenade, about 300 moorings, and a southern edge being rewritten at once.
Updated
The waterfront is the reason the district exists in the shape it does. Two kilometres of promenade run from Reading in the south to Tel Baruch in the north, with about 300 marina moorings planned at the northern end and beach cafés along the Central frontage.
The southern edge is the most complicated stretch in the plan: Reading power station, the fuel tanks, the marina basin and the park are all being rewritten at the same time. That is worth knowing before assuming any particular view or access route is settled.

Common questions
- Can I go to the beach at Sde Dov?
- The coast itself is there and the sea is public. What does not exist yet is the district behind it: the promenade, the hotels and the commerce are under construction or still to be built, so this is a working shoreline rather than a serviced beach.
- How long is the Sde Dov promenade?
- About two kilometres, running along the Central complex beside the five-hotel strip. It is planned, not built; its opening follows the buildings behind it, from roughly 2031.
- How much open space will there be?
- About 500,000 sqm of public space district-wide. On the plan lots, open and public ground outweighs residential ground — 244 dunam of parks and open space against 123 dunam of residential plots.
- What is the beach like today?
- It is the working edge of a construction site, at the northern end of Tel Aviv's coastline where the airport used to be. The blog's coast writing describes what is actually there now rather than what is drawn.
- Will the beach be accessible to the public?
- Israel's coastline is public and the plan is built around a public promenade and open-space reserve rather than private beachfront. The eight beachfront hotel lots sit behind that public edge, not on it.

Reading
- The coast, as it is right nowTwo kilometres of public shore sit along the western edge of the district, and none of it is waiting for 2029. This is what is actually there: the sand, the ridge behind it, the water, and how an ordinary day moves along it.
- Walking the shoreline, Reading to Tel BaruchThe whole western edge of the district can be walked today, from the Yarkon mouth to the northern beaches. Here is the route in order, what you pass, where the ground is open, and where a fence decides your line for you.
