Square benches with graffiti! I'll bet this is where you get some of those wonderful boat and water shots!

They seem to have a primary purpose other than being benches, no?
The rocks are beautiful.
And the open mouth of the port too.

@ Jacob - Exactly, that body of water within the seawall is where ships transit and turn to reach the rest of the port. It is a very quiet place: few fishermen a a couple of cats...

@ Dina - Sadly they aren't in good shape. I think they were intended for benches with a light inside.

Ah, so the little window on the side is a light. Nice idea.
I think I've been in Israel too long; the benches look to me like the tops of bomb shelters.

I'm glad you have a secluded place to watch your ship come in.
