The traditional location for the Mount of Beatitudes is on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, between Capernaum and Gennesaret (Ginosar). The actual location of the Sermon on the Mount is not certain, but the present site (also known as Mount Eremos) has been commemorated for more than 1600 years.
It is approached by a road that climbs up from Tabcha junction, via Vered-Hagalil, towards Rosh-Pina and Upper Galilee.
Other suggested locations have included the nearby Mount Arbel, or even the Horns of Hattin.

While a boat ride on the lake may seem like a touristy thing to do, it really is enjoyable. Chances are that you will not encounter rough water like Jesus and His disciples did long ago. For the vast majority of people, it is a relaxing boat ride on the Galilee. On a hot day, you may not feel like walking on water, but a swim will seem appealing. The lake is several miles across. i do recommend the boat ride, however must warn that it will be sunny and hot in the summer. Bring sunscreen.
