Poleg Gate Nature Reserve

Three different marked trails will introduce you to this beautiful Mediterranean seaside reserve.

Its rocky hills are home to special plants and animals.

Plant life combines Mediterranean species like fragrant, thyme with desert species like winter-blooming white broom.

You might see porcupines, rabbits and gerbils, and the occasional fox and even badgers.

The streambed is dry, except after the winter rains, where it runs into the sea.
