Changing operating hours at lifeguard stations after the transition to winter time
Starting Sunday, October 25, 2026, and for about two weeks, lifeguard services on Haifa beaches will end at 5:00 PM instead of 6:00 PM as was customary until now. The transition to winter time, which will take effect on Sunday morning, is the reason for the earlier end time of activity. The Haifa Municipality continues to operate the lifeguard stations on the beaches even after the end of the official bathing season, to allow bathers, who continue to visit the beaches, to enjoy swimming in the sea under the supervision of lifeguards. The lifeguard stations active during this period are: "Dado", "Zamir" (except station number 2), "HaCarmel", "Bat Galim" and "Neot".
Swimming without lifeguard supervision is prohibited and life-threatening.
The Haifa Municipality reiterates that swimming in the sea without lifeguard supervision is prohibited by law and is life-threatening. The municipality calls on residents and beach visitors to be careful to only swim at designated beaches and during hours when lifeguards are active. It is important to pay attention to the updated hours of operation following the transition to winter time, and to finish swimming by 17:00 PM, the time when lifeguard stations close. Bathers must maintain their safety and avoid entering the water after lifeguard hours.
