Mevo'ot Yam (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />מְבוֹאוֹת יָם‎, lit. Sea Gate) is a youth village on the coast of Israel founded in 1951. It is named after the biblical term for "gateways of the sea" (Ezekiel 27:3[1])

Located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea adjacent to Mikhmoret, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2006, it had a student population of 634, up from about 400 in 1962.[2] The fishing and trawling school here, Sharon Naval School, founded by the Alliance Israelite Universelle and Israeli government,[3] offers a variety of specialized tracks with an emphasis on nautical studies.[4] Students can study seamanship, electricity, biology and marine agriculture, diving, and a combined course in mechanics, electronics and computers.[5] In 1999, the Nature and Parks Authority founded the Israeli Sea Turtle Rescue Center in Mevo'ot Yam.[6]

Mikhmoret Light is located on a building inside the village.
