This beach is named in memory of David (Dado), Elazar
who was Chief of Staff during the Yom Kippur War.
The post-war Agranat Commission recommended Elazar's
dismissal and absolved both the Minister of Defense and
Prime Minister (Moshe Dayan and Golda Meir,respectively)
of responsibility.
Ultimately, both Elazar and the government resigned.
After the government's resignation, Yitzhak Rabin formed
the seventeenth government, on June 3,1974.
The beach is located just across from the new Hof
HaCarmel train station and features a promenade, a
number of restaurants with seating outdoors (which can
be great even on a warm winter day) and a playground
area.
