South Beach Promenade, Eilat

This one-kilometer-long Promenade, located on the western edge of Coral Beach Nature Reserve, provides a pleasant route for tourists and residents walking or bicycling at the edge of the Red Sea. Wood is used extensively for edges, steps and pergolas, while local granite is the major paving for the paths.  Granite boulders punctuate the way, creating a focus for desert planting. Crushed local granite is used extensively as a surface cover between the planting areas, making a connection to the surrounding mountains.
