A new 550-meter promenade has opened in Ashdod, located on the northern pier and encircling the yacht port. The promenade features two sections: one offering views of yachts and the city, and another with a long observation deck and recreation zones overlooking the sea. The walkway is well-lit, with metal parapets and wooden railing-tables for visitors along the breakwater, complemented by seating areas and high chairs.
The northern pier is part of a larger Ashdod waterfront project, initiated in 2021 with a total cost of approximately 12 million shekels. This comprehensive project aims to create a continuous coastal recreation space, connecting beach areas with cafes, restaurants, and sports facilities, starting from the Lachish stream estuary.
Ashdod Deputy Mayor Shimon Katznelson, who also chairs the Tourism Development Company, stated that the opening of the northern pier is a significant step in developing Ashdod's coastline. He emphasized that the connected waterfront, beaches, and yacht port enhance opportunities for seaside leisure and enjoyment. The city plans to continue developing the Lido beach and further expand its coastal offerings to boost entertainment and tourism.
