Lonely Planet review for Hof HaCarmel Beach
Ports tend to make a mess of the coast so it's not too surprising that Haifa's beaches are infamously toxic and strewn with garbage. If you really fancy some sun-worshipping in Haifa, you should head for the much more attractive Hof HaCarmel Beach, in the south of the city. The beach has an inviting promenade with a number of restaurants and cafés, some of them upscale places serving steak and seafood. Folk dancing is held here on Saturdays (11:00 February to June and 19:00 July to January).
Trains from Haifa Merkaz come here every 20 minutes for around ₪5.

One of the beast beaches in Israel
haifa1 recommends this,
On weekends, can get crowded (thousands of people). If you want to see & be seen, this is the beach to visit in Haifa!
Also: beach parties, nice bars, great food, students beach, volleyball and bikini watching galore. Walk up to 20 kilometers of great beaches up to Atlit, or just 2-3 kilometers, mostly quiet during the week days. great for an afternoon walk or sitting at a cafe by the beach, any time of the year.Good for: Safe swimming, Sun bathe, volleyball, eating out, beach walking
