- Cable car down to the grottoes — A tiny, steep ride that drops you straight into the cliff-face caverns; one of the steepest cable cars around. Fast, a little thrilling, and the most cinematic way to reach the sea caves. (Personal favorite — the jolt of seeing the water open up beneath you never gets old.)
- The sea grottoes and chalk cliffs — Waves have carved huge caverns into brilliant white chalk, creating turquoise pools and echoing chambers. The geology and colors are unreal up close, and the light inside the caves makes for great photos.
- British-era railway tunnels and ruins — Walk through partially restored tunnels and see where the old Haifa-Beirut rail line once ran. It’s a compact, tangible slice of 20th-century history right at the edge of the sea.

- Panoramic lookout over the Lebanese coast — From the headland you can see the Lebanese shoreline on clear days; it’s a stark, dramatic view that hints at the strategic importance this headland has always had.
- Rosh Hanikra lighthouse and rocky promontory — The low-profile lighthouse and rugged headland are classic coastal scenery: great for sunsets, wild seas, and photography without needing binoculars.
- Bird migration and coastal wildlife — The site sits on a busy migratory route, so in season you’ll see raptors and other migrants passing along the coast. Also good for spotting seabirds and small coastal plants clinging to the cliffs.
- Short cliff-top trails and picnic spots — Easy walks along the headland give different perspectives of the cliffs and sea. Perfect for a relaxed stop: sit, snack, watch the water and the daily comings-and-goings of the cable car and visitors.
