In suburban Kiryat Haim, apartment buildings and single-family homes line leafy streets, not far from the many parks and other green spaces dotting the neighborhood. Pizzerias, burger joints and ice cream parlors cluster around bustling Achi Eilat Street. To the west, a promenade with bars and cafes spans Kiryat-Haim Beach and adjacent stretches of sand popular for swimming and fishing in the Mediterranean Sea.
