"It should be a law" said Linda Fischel, a regular visitor from the UK, all beaches

should have sufficient garbage bins and ashtrays, and the  few that do, are a pleasure to see and make ALL the difference. Another German Tourist said "you cannot even blame the people in this case, if there is nowhere for them to throw their garbage, and no ashtrays to use, we simply look for the beaches that do provide these facilities, and we found some beaches we love and respect for their cleanliness and caring. The same  beaches mentioned and recognised as wonderfully clean and well managed by most of the tourists we spoke to were: Kissuki Beach - [next to LeMeridiene Hotel] The Bar Beach -  Coral Beach ,The Village Beach...... and the Dekel Beach.

As one Canadian said to us at the Bar Beach,sitting in a group of 8 people,and pointing to the neighbour beach "look at the difference bins and ashtrays make, If all beaches could be like this one, Eilat would have CLEAN beaches".

Again, it all comes down to Beach Managment and caring for the environment, lets hope we will see a vast improvement soon.
