Beach description
In Ein Bokek there are public beaches and fenced coastal areas owned by private hotels. Free access beaches have a rather poor infrastructure. Sunbeds and umbrellas are not everywhere, but fresh-water showers and toilets are provided. You can also use the mud bath for free if there is one.
Hotel beaches, accessible only to residents, are distinguished by excellent infrastructure. Entrance to these beaches is limited. Across the coastline, a long flat slope into the water. The Dead Sea is notable for its shallow depth and very high density due to the concentration of mineral salts. Walk along the beach in shoes.
In Ein Bokek, buses number 444, 446, 486 from Jerusalem follow. Route 444 also leaves from Eilat.
