Aquaduct Beach; My personal favorite. It is located minutes from Binyamina and Zichron Yakhov. The beach adopted its name from the ancient Roman aqueduct 1000s of years old that still runs directly through it. Be prepared as there are no bathrooms, but they do have open showers to rinse off. In the peak summer season, you can find one lone vendor selling ice cream and snacks out of a trailer.The coastline is rough with many large rocks and the swimming can be dangerous at times. There are lifeguards on duty that will not allow you to stray to far out. During most times, the water is clear and calm combined with the backdrop of the ancient Aquaduct ruins; it is a mesmerizing combination.
One of the best kept secrets in Israel. You will pay about 35 Shekels (9 U.S.D), per car, but it is more than worth it. The beach itself is part of a nature reserve. Again, this is a rocky beach like most in Israel, but you will find a nice protected lagoon perfect for swimming with younger children. There are clean showers, dressing rooms, and bathrooms, as well as a snack bar located on the site. Also a very nice picnicking area with tables. One of the main attractions is that you can hike along the rocky coast of the nature reserve where the course sand ridges and water have created inlets and caves. I have done it many times and always consider it a fresh adventure.

coming into the harbour? or, driving in the sand?
not much activity on the beach today
Philippines is not known for it's amazing cuisine, but there is some good food to be had there. This is a dish called a tortang talong. It is an eggplant omolette. My friend and travel mate made this for me while staying at a beach house in MacArthur.
I was told that there was not much to do in MacArthur. People were right, but that is exactly what I wanted to do. I relaxed and walked the beach. A nice beach with views like this fishing boat.
Tuba. Tuba is a coconut wine, equivalent to Mmoonshine in the USA. It is not usually found in lage cities but small villages instead. A lot of the local men spend most of thier day drinking tuba. It is cheap to make since there are so many coconuts around. This is a one of the jugs that was being consumed during the sit down with some random locals I came across on the beach.

In Philippines as well as other countries, soccer is a different sport than the USA. Soccer is more like volleyball, but played with feet and a small ball. Usually played with a net, these kids on the beach of MacArthur were playing soccer without a net.
While enjoying some food and tuba (coconut wine) with the locals on the beach, I saw this local enjoying the view.
