Nahariya is the northernmost coastal city in the
Northern District of Israel, with an estimated population of 51,200. Nahariya takes its name from the stream of
Ga’aton Rriver , that bisects it. Nahariya is home to some of Israel’s leading entrepreneurs: the Strauss, Soglowek and Wertheimer families. Successful private sector industrial enterprises founded in Nahariya are the Strauss dairy company, Soglowek meat processing company, and Iscar, the high-precision metalworks and tool-making giant.
Sderot Ga’aton, the city’s main boulevard, runs east-west from the Coastal Highway junction to the sea, and is divided down the middle by the Ga’aton River. Shaded by the thick greenery of towering eucalyptus trees and lined with numerous shops, boutiques, open-air cafes, restaurants and ice cream parlors, Sderot Ga’aton is Nahariya’s main tourist attraction and its central business and entertainment district.

The beach area is an attraction in its own right, with a public park, a waterfront promenade, two public beaches, several hotels, a small marina and a lively nightlife in the multitude of beachfront cafes, bars, restaurants and nightclubs.
