Treat yourself in mud and float in the buoyant waters of the Dead Sea beaches. 

The Dead Sea has many beaches at the. 

Although, most of the Dead Sea beaches are privately owned and charge entrance fees. 

This is partly due to the constantly changing level of the Dead Sea (each year it shrinks by 1-1.5 meters), which means that every few years the beach and the supporting services must move to a new location. 

Despite that, there are some public beaches. 

But if you’re visiting the Dead Sea as a "must" destination, it’s well worth paying a small amount to get the best possible experience while visiting. 

And if you are looking for something more wild and untouched by man it offers that also, but at your own risk. Here are the best Dead Sea beaches (from north to south): Kibbutz Kalia operates the northern-most beach at the Dead Sea. 

It features great facilities, including a bar (perhaps the lowest in the world), restaurant, gift shop, pool, changing room facilities, and towel rental. Kalia is friendly for all ages, and the sea has natural mud which is there for visitors to immerse themselves in.
