November 5, 2025Sdot Yam is a kibbutz located in the Haifa District, on the Mediterranean coast. It was originally established in 1936 on the lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of Qisarya (Caesarea), in the Haifa Subdistrict. The kibbutz was later relocated in 1940 to its current site, situated on the southern edge of the old city and adjacent to the archaeological ruins of Caesarea.
As of 2021, the number of settlers in Sdot Yam was 1,127.
