Jogging

The long beachfront promenade, running several miles from the northern end of Jaffa to the Hilton Hotel, provides an excellent stretch for urban jogging, without the inconvenience of cross streets and traffic lights. It's busy, which adds an element of safety, and you can stop for a dip in the sea or cool off at the public showers that dot the beaches at various intervals. There is a jogging track at Sportek, Rokach Blvd. (tel. 03/699-0307), at the northern entrance of Tel Aviv. Admission to the track is free.
