This beach is called the "Jerusalem Beach" as a tribute to the capital of the State of Israel, which is blessed with many virtues but not on the beach. The tower to your left is called Opera Tower. This was where the Israeli Opera began. At the founding of the State of Israel, it housed the Knesset building in its first months, before Jerusalem was declared the capital of Israel. Herbert Samuel Street was named after the first British Commissioner in Palestine.
