Hof Palmahim National Park was declared in 2003, and covers an area of 221 dunams, with three main components:

The western kurkar ridge, a habitat with globally unique features that have enabled special and rare species of plants and animals to develop.
One of the last remaining stretches of seashore in Israel that is still in its natural state. The seashore is home to many plants and animals, and also forms part of the habitat of the sea turtle, a species that is in danger of extinction throughout the Mediterranean basin.
The remains of the ancient port city of Yavne-Yam. These are the ruins of a city from the Middle Canaanite period, surrounded by vast ramparts built in the Middle Bronze Age On the peninsular jutting into the sea are remains from First Temple times, as well as from the Persian, Hellenistic, Roman and Crusader periods.
At the site ancient waterworks and agricultural apparatus have been excavated, alongside the flowering sea daffodils and other typical coastal vegetation.

In addition to its importance in terms of both natural and human heritage, the sandy shore is a focus of attraction for many visitors and tourists as a free and attractive coastal strip in central Israel.

To the east of the sandy shore is a kurkar cliff. The estuary of the Soreq stream is to the north, part of the Soreq Stream Estuary National Park.
