Jaffa Light

Landmark

Jaffa Light is a historic lighthouse situated on a rocky promontory along Jaffa's coastline. Built in the 19th century, it once guided ships into the ancient port of Jaffa. Today, the lighthouse is a popular spot for visitors seeking panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Tel Aviv skyline. The surrounding area features a scenic promenade, benches, and small gardens, making it ideal for a leisurely stroll. While the lighthouse itself is not open to the public, the vantage point provides excellent photo opportunities, especially at sunset. Its location near the Old Jaffa flea market and restaurants makes it a convenient stop.
