The deaths on the beachfront in the Sudania area of the narrow coastal territory raised the death toll from Israeli strikes to 14 in less than 24 hours. The other seven were killed in air raids, according to medical sources.
Around 35 other people were wounded in the firing off the coast of Gaza, from which all Israeli ground troops were withdrawn last September.
The upsurge in violence in the Gaza Strip prompted the armed wing of the ruling faction Hamas, the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, to threaten to resume attacks against Israel after a de-facto one-and-a-half year truce.
"The Brigades will decide the right moment and place to strike back with force against the criminal attacks of Israel," a statement from the armed group said.
"The Zionist crimes open the battle in the Zionist towns," said the group, responsible for killing hundreds of Israelis in suicide attacks in Israel over the past decade.
Russia, a member of the international quartet mediating in the moribund peace process, roundly condemned the Israeli actions in Gaza, saying it was deeply shocked by an "unacceptable" and "disproportionate" use of force.
"What happened was an unacceptable recourse to disproportionate use of force, especially when the result is the death of innocent Palestinians," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
Medical sources said five of those killed at the beach were members of the Ghali family from Gaza. Children aged one, three and 10 died alongside their parents, Ali and Raisa.
Terrified crying children who were injured in the attack were rushed to nearby hospitals in Jabaliya and Gaza City where they were visited by Palestinian prime minister Ismail Haniya who denounced what he called "a war crime in every sense of the word."
The victims had been bathing on the coast on the traditional Muslim day of rest, which was also one of the hottest days of the year.
The Israeli military confirmed that the navy had fired onto the beach, but said it was believed the deaths were caused by shelling, not by firing from the gunboats.
"As of now it is clear that Israeli naval fire did not cause this incident. The possibility of land-based artillery fire is being examined. The IDF deeply regrets any harm caused to innocent civilians," said a spokesman
The army later announced that chief of staff Dan Halutz had ordered a suspension to the bombardments as an inquiry was launched.
The deaths at Sudania capped an upsurge of Israeli attacks on Gaza which began with an overnight air strike which killed the leader of a hardline armed faction and three other militants.
A further three suspected militants were killed in a fresh round of air strikes on Friday that targeted a group behind a new series of rocket attacks.
Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas condemned what he called the "bloody massacres" in the Gaza Strip, and one of his top officials contacted Western governments to persuade them to help rein in the Israeli military.
"I don't know the reasons that cause the Israeli government to commit such atrocious crimes against the Palestinian people," he said.
The strikes came at a sensitive time for Abbas as the moderate president prepared to announce a controversial referendum that calls for an end to attacks on Israel.
He is well aware that the deadly operations by the Israeli military inside Gaza will make it that much harder to secure backing for such a measure.
Israeli army radio quoted Defense Minister Amir Peretz as saying the military activity was in response to increased attacks from militants.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians had earlier attended the funeral in southern Gaza for the victims of the overnight air strike in which Jamal Abu Samhadana, head of the Popular Resistance Committees, was killed.
Many of the mourners in the town of Rafah, which borders Egypt, chanted calls for suicide bombings inside Israel to avenge the death of Abu Samhadana who had served as an advisor to the Hamas-led Palestinian government.
"Abu Ataya (Abu Samhadana), we will deliver our answer in Tel Aviv," chanted hundreds of armed followers before unleashing a volley of gunfire into the air.
Abu Samhadana was one of the most wanted of all Palestinian militants. Israel said he had been responsible for dozens of deaths, including the 2003 bombing of a diplomatic convoy in Gaza that left three Americans dead.
The Hamas government called the killing of Abu Samhadana a "war crime" against a "national leader."
"Israel's targeting of a government official is a dangerous step," government spokesman Ghazi Hamad told AFP.
"Israel is responsible for the consequences of this crime and the response from the resistance."
