Lido Beach - Ashdod, Israel (Cam 1)

Waves from the Mediterranean roll onto the wide sands of Lido Beach in Ashdod (אשדוד), on Israel's southern coast, and this camera looks out past a lifeguard tower to the open sea as storms, calm days and sunsets come and go.

Ashdod has a very long history. The ancient city was one of the five Philistine city-states, mentioned 13 times in the Hebrew Bible, and the first settlement there dates back to the 17th century BCE.

The modern city grew up beside the sea, and its promenade, HaTayelet, runs along the beachfront. On the horizon, ships come and go from the Port of Ashdod, the biggest port in Israel.

Did You Know? The sun sets over the sea here, so Ashdod's west-facing beaches get a clear view of the sun dropping into the Mediterranean.
