Anchorages
Once you are checked into Israel, you will be issued a cruising permit which allows you to sail and anchor along the coast. Substantially all of the anchorages are open roadsteads suitable for anchoring only in very fair weather. Ask the locals who will be eager to advise you. Useless to ask at the marina office.

Provisioning
- marina is situated beside a large "Mall" where there are shops of all kinds as well as restaurants and bars for a good night out
- There is a supermarket in the Arena Mall, adjacent to the marina.
Eating out
Plenty of restaurants and cafes along the waterfront, such as:
- Murphies - an Irish bar
- 9Bar - fusion kitchen, sushi
- Medzo, Beni Hadayag - fish restaurants
- Lucci - an Italian restaurant
Transportation
- Take a taxi to Tel-Aviv for vibrant night life and for the old city of Jaffa
- Take a taxi to Herzliya train stations, and from there go North to Caesarea, Haifa, Acco, or South to Tel-Aviv, Rehovot (with its Weizmann Institute of Science), Beer-Sheva, or go to Jerusalem, the Holy City of three religions
- On 1 March 2018 the mall at Herzliya Marina ceased to offer free parking 24x7 from Sunday 0:01 to Thursday 23:59. Marina visitors with rented cars now have the following options:
- (1) Pay daily at the mall, about $10 USD
- (2) If you are going to keep your rental car for several weeks or months, look into getting Herzliya township to issue a "resident" parking sticker which gives you free parking all over Herzliya, including the open-air parking lot next to the mall. We did not try this and it might not be possible for foreigners like us, but it is routine for the locals.
- (3) Get the Israeli Pango app (not the international Pango app that does not work in Israel) and park on the street near the marina office, or on the mall access road N of it, or on the open-air parking lot S of the mall. Pay via Pango at the reduced daily rate of about $5. When registering Pango, it will ask for your Israeli ID after your credit card number. Call Pango and ask for the special number that enables registration for foreigners.
