The Israeli coastal plain (Hebrew: מישור החוף, Mishor HaḤof) is the narrow coastal plain along Israel's Mediterranean Sea coast which houses 70% of the country's population. The plain extends 187 kilometres (116 mi) north to south and is divided into a number of areas; the Plain of Zebulun (north of Haifa), Hof HaCarmel (from Haifa to Mount Carmel), the Sharon plain (from Mount Carmel to Tel Aviv), and the Plain of Judea (from Tel Aviv to Zikim). For its duration, the plain has sandy beaches and a Mediterranean climate.
