    This was a nude beach when I was a kid. That ended in 1982 when it became a beloved state park…read more They have done a lot to preserve native plants. You can rent kayaks here or swim. It's usually not too crowded. This is where we would go to see sea turtles laying eggs. And that continues to this day. It's a great location and a beautiful park.

    John D. MacArthur Beach State Park seemed like such a hidden gem from everything I had read and…read moreseen online. I loved that it offers so many activities in one place--kayaking, paddleboarding, the beach, picnic areas, a gift shop, and educational exhibits--all at very reasonable prices. Parking was only $5, and the kayak and paddleboard rentals were affordable too. Unfortunately, I happened to visit on a day with an extremely low tide. Paddleboard rentals were suspended, but kayak rentals were still available. The staff did warn us about the low tide and advised us to stay near the edges to avoid getting stuck. However, as someone new to kayaking, I didn't realize just how much the tide would impact the experience. For a large portion of our trip, the water was so shallow that our kayaks constantly got stuck. We had to repeatedly get out and drag them through the water. At times, the water wasn't even ankle deep. I completely understand that the staff can't control the tides, but I honestly wish kayak rentals had also been paused that day because the conditions made it difficult to really enjoy the experience. By the time we finished kayaking, we were exhausted and felt pretty gross from walking through the murky water, so we ended up skipping the beach altogether. Outside of that, the park itself looked lovely. There was a nice picnic area, a cute gift shop, and they even had a rescued sea turtle with a volunteer sharing information about sea turtle conservation, which was a really nice touch. There also appeared to be several educational exhibits throughout the park, although they happened to be closed during our visit. One downside was a pretty unpleasant smell near the gift shop, but I'm guessing that may have also been related to the unusually low tide. Despite my experience, I haven't written the park off. The photos I've seen online make it look absolutely beautiful, and I think we were just unlucky with the timing. I'd definitely consider coming back on a day with higher water levels to give it another chance. It sounds like a great park overall--I just recommend checking the tide conditions before planning to kayak or paddleboard so you can enjoy it at its best.

    While looking for place to get a few steps in I stumbled across Mary Brandon Park. It is a small…read moreneighborhood park tucked near the northeast corner of the West Palm Beach Golf Course, just east of Forest Hill High School and the West Palm Beach Country Club. It's named after Mary Brandon, a local politician who served on the city's Parks and Recreation Commission in the 1960s. Established in 1999, this park holds the distinction of being the first dog park in the City of West Palm Beach. It features two separate fenced areas--one for small dogs (25 pounds and under) and another for larger dogs. Amenities include dog-friendly water fountains, play tunnels, as well as plenty of chairs, benches, and tables for owners to relax. In July 2019, the city unveiled a brand-new playground, replacing older equipment with updated, shade-covered slides and climbing structures. In addition to the dog park and playground, the park also offers picnic pavilions, a baseball field, restrooms, and a large open green space that's perfect for running around or getting some exercise. I really appreciate how the city created a space that caters to both kids and dogs. It's a welcoming, versatile park that serves the neighborhood well--perfect for a casual afternoon outdoors. I'd definitely come back, especially if I brought my dog or just wanted a quiet place to unwind outside for a while.

    We were heading south on Georgia Avenue after our lunch and came across this neighborhood park…read more This is a West Palm Beach park of about six and a half acres. It's perfect for kids and dogs. There is a nice playground area with a structure, benches, a softball field, a basketball court, a walking path, and open grass to run around in. For the pet owner, there are two dog "parks"/dog run areas for differing size dogs that are fenced in. When we stopped by, there was only one other car parked in the lot. It was lovely weather so I was surprised that more people were not taking advantage of the first sunny day in a while. There are some large old trees providing shade, too. We'd be here often if we lived in the neighborhood.

    The Palm Beach Lake Trail is, without question, one of the best ways to experience Palm Beach…read more We started at a bike rental shop just across the bridge in West Palm at 8th and Dixie, which couldn't have been more perfect. The bikes were comfortable, easy to ride, and ready to go when we arrived. It was $50 for a half day... quick, simple, and totally worth it. Bing bang boom, we were on our way. We crossed over the Flagler Memorial Bridge and immediately connected to the Lake Trail, heading north. After a quick pit stop at the bathrooms, we settled into the ride... and it was spectacular. The trail hugs the Intracoastal the entire way, winding past stunning estates, perfectly manicured hedges, and nonstop water views. We rode all the way to the northern tip of the island, where you're rewarded with incredible views overlooking Singer Island and Peanut Island. That moment alone made the ride unforgettable. On the way back, we switched it up and rode along Ocean Boulevard for about a mile and a half, with the Atlantic on our side, before looping back down and reconnecting with the Lake Trail to head south and cross the bridge home. What really surprised me was how peaceful it was. Yes, there were other cyclists and walkers, but it never felt crowded, even in the middle of peak season. It felt calm, relaxed, and almost private at times. And the cherry on top... the bike shop is right near the new Nora District, so we wrapped up the ride with pizza and ice cream. Absolute perfection. This is a must-do if you're in Palm Beach. Whether you live here or you're visiting, the Lake Trail delivers scenery, serenity, and that classic Palm Beach magic all in one ride. Literally a perfect Sunday.

Along the trail, about 5 miles long, you'll come across a few old landmarks (the Kopok tree, Sea GullCottage (one of the oldest houses in Palm Beach), Bethesda by the Sea (old church converted into a house), the Duck Nest (the oldest house in PB)), and the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum. You'll also pass beautifully landscaped docks, small and large boats, ivy and bougainvillea draped walls, and large mansions that are fun to look at on your walk. Not to mention, the gorgeous view of the West Palm Beach skyline. The trail is well-maintained and everyone out and about is always friendly! Note: no bathrooms or water fountains along the trail. Plenty of shade, and lots of dogs!
