Alexander Stream Hof Bet Yanai National Park.A running stream with a charming beach The Alexander Stream is one of the few year-round streams on the northern coastal plain. Located north of Netanya, the stream is home to soft-shell turtles, which can reach a size of 1.20 meters and a weight of 50 kilograms. The southern bank of the Alexander Stream is adjacent to shifting sand dunes, and both banks are blessed with a wealth of riparian vegetation. On the northern bank, within the park, is a eucalyptus grove where visitors can picnic and relax. In the summer, the Bet Yanai beach, where the Alexander Stream meets the Mediterranean is a home for Israeli parachute surfing and surfers.Photo by Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye
