Bat Yam
This Mediterranean city on Israel's central coast, Bat Yam sits directly south of Tel Aviv with a walkable seafront and a café and restaurant scene along the shore. Founded in 1926 on coastal sands as a small settlement called "Beit VeGan," it was declared a city in 1958 after absorbing large waves of immigrants, and again grew significantly in the 1990s with arrivals from the former Soviet Union.
