Kursi–Lavnun–Halukim Beach. Each of the three beaches has its own personality: the Lavnun (named after an indigenous fish) and Halukim ("pebbles") beaches have vast lawns with abundant shade. You must wear shoes on Halukim Beach, because it is, indeed, filled with pebbles. Young people with grills and music find Kursi (named after the nearby Byzantine Church) and Lavnun more attractive, while families and those seeking a quieter experience find the Halukim Beach more to their liking. Amenities: food and drink; lifeguards; parking (fee); showers; toilets. Best for: swimming. Rte. 92, located 3 km (2 miles) north of Ein Gev, Kursi, Northern District. NIS6 for 3 hrs of parking.
