Akhziv Shipwreck Monument
There is an interesting point at a half way between Nahariya and Rosh Hanikra.
Aliyah Bet ("Ha'apala") was the struggle for immigration to Palestine of Jewish refugees and Holocaust survivors in the 1940s, during and after WWII, against the rigid restrictions set by the British mandate authorities.
An assortment of vessels brought the refugees as illegal immigrants to the shores of Israel, and the immigrants were met by agile Palmach underground members, who quickly and quietly took them to safe hiding places in nearby villages.
Some of these brave actions took place on the shores of Nahariya. The sculptor Yechiel Shemi, a member of kibbutz Kabri, erected an impressive monument on the shore of Achziv commemorating the Ha'apala operations in and near Nahariya.
