A lot of the beaches on Hutchinson Island do not have restrooms or lifeguards. If you are looking for a beach with those amenities plus more, Jensen Beach Park is here for you. Jensen Beach Park, also called Sea Turtle Beach has a huge free parking lot. You can grab a snack, breakfast, or lunch or rent a beach chair and umbrella at the Sand Dune Café which is open 7 days a week. You can also bring your own food to enjoy at several picnic pavilions. The park also has a sand volleyball court and bathrooms and showers. There is a oversized Adirondack chair for a fun photo op near the café. The park is also home to the Martin County Ocean Recue Headquarters. The soft sand and clean water along with all of the amenities makes this a great spot for enjoying a peaceful beach day. I loved seeing all of the sea turtle nests on the beach. I hope the little guys make it to their ocean home. read more

There are lots of beaches in Florida but Jensen Beach was the closest and most comemient to by brother-in-law's place where we were staying. We visited te beach on a weekday during spring break and foind plenty of parking and a relatively uncrowded beach. The kids and grandkids spent most of their time either in the water or on the beach close to the water. My brother-lin-law and I enjoyed the beach from the shady shelter of one of several seaside picnic pavillions. This is a lifeguard protected beach with some very reasonsable rules for using the each. Parking was fre and easy. The sun was shining and the sky was blus, The grandkis (and some of the older folks) foud a of beauriful shells, And, I enjoyed "people watching. read more

I used to come to this beach as a child all of the time. I learned to boogie board and surf here during high tide. When I come down to Florida to visit now as an adult, I always make a stop here. Walking at night on the beach is peaceful and serene. The sunset is beautiful. During the day, it's clean and pleasant and a great place to find seashells to collect. read more

Our great friends from Massachusetts recently bought a place here in Jensen beach and we just visited them in their new "snowbird' winter home and it was a terrific choice to get away from the cold! They're on the Treasure Coast which is a region of Florida on the state's Atlantic coast, comprising Indian River, St. Lucie, and Martin counties. The region, whose name refers to the Spanish Treasure Fleet lost in a 1715 hurricane, emerged from residents' desire to distinguish themselves from Miami and the Gold Coast region. Jensen Beach, in Martin County, where they're is situated on blue-green clear coastal waters between Fort Pierce and West Palm Beach, once was known as the "Pineapple Capital of the World" and still holds an annual pineapple festival. The town's history with pineapples started in 1888 when John Laurence Jensen set up its first pineapple plantation in 1888. Every year in November the town comes together to celebrate the Jensen Beach Pineapple Festival. https://jensenbeachflorida.info/visitors-guide/history-of-jensen-beach/ There's lots to see and do here from the shopping center, numerous specialty stores, and boutiques fishing, to the seafood intensive restaurants and many other dining choices and for the water enthusiasts there are fishing charters, beachside dining, fishing, surfing, boat rentals, scuba diving and a whole more but how about the beaches, well there' lot of these, of course, it's in the name after all, and they're nice ones like Walton Rocks Beach, Waveland Beach, Jensen Beach Causeway Park, Savannas Preserve State Park ( a freshwater park) and more. Sea Turtle/Jensen Beach is the largest public beach, and my favorite, that has nice amenities like free parking, showers, restrooms, picnic areas, sand volleyball courts, a concession stand (walk-up restaurant), and a lifeguard service. Unlike my hometown island, Jensen Beach and Stuart causeway parks currently are open 24/7, and drinking is allowed and dog-friendly. http://video-monitoring.com/beachcams/jensen/ If you are planning to fly there the nearest airport to Jensen Beach is Vero Beach (VRB) Airport which is 29.8 miles away. Other nearby airports include West Palm Beach/Palm Beach (PBI) (40.3 miles), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL) (82.4 miles), Miami (MIA) (101.5 miles), and Orlando (MCO) (105.3 miles). Bottom line: I really enjoyed my visit there and look forward to exploring even more of what this lovely Florida gem has to offer!! Recommended read more

Jensen Beach is a definite stop when I'm in Florida. It's absolutely beautiful and in close proximity to many sites. It's not a far drive from where I lived most of my life in Florida. The coastline drive is amazing. There's food and shade which some beaches don't have. The beach is always clean and when I used to go it wasn't too crowded. I'm recommending! read more

When moving to the treasure coast coming to the beaches is my sweet spot! Listening to the waves here while chilling with a beer or going into the ocean listening to my waterproof iPod makes me feel connected to the planet! It is flat, clean and easily accessible with sufficient parking. Thanks Jensen Beaches!!! You can trust me, I'm a Pisces )-( read more

I found Jensen Beach to be very quiet with an old Florida feel to it. The sand was not the prettiest but the water was beautiful. It had a clear light blue color and was free of seaweed. The few people that were on the beach were respectful of social distancing and everyone was nicely spaced out from each other. There were no lifeguards or bathrooms in the area that I visited. read more

I absolutely love this beach! The water at Jensen Beach was so clear and blue, I felt like I was in the Bahamas. There was plenty of room on the beach to lounge. This beach is very clean and is supervised by lifeguards. During the start of thunder, the lifeguards monitored the storm and closed the beach when it was approaching! Jensen Beach also has bathrooms and outdoor showers conveniently located in between the beach and the parking lot. Not only can you clean off from the ocean, but you are able to get sand off your body before getting in the car. Awesome beach, friendly lifeguards, and nice amenities! read more

Visiting from Jersey, I love this beach. It's easy to find. Free parking, a volley ball court or 2, a bathroom and outdoor showers. The beach is nice and clean. The lifeguards are friendly and at attentive. If your looking for a quiet beach to go do your thing without any extra, this is a great place to go. read more

The History of Jensen Beach in the 19 century revolved around pineapple farming . John Laurence Jensen , an immigrant from Denmark , arrived in 1881 and set up his pineapple plantation which became the town of Jensen. By 1884 the Florida east coast railway reached Jensen Beach, and freight shipments were loaded directly onto the freight cars. In 1885, Jensen was called the Pineapple capital of the world shipping over one million boxes of pineapple each year during the June and July season. By that time a pineapple factory was built to handle the increase. In 1895 a bad freeze devastated the pineapple plantations and two fires in 1908 and 1910 destroyed most of Jensen Beach an its remaining pineapple farms. The industry collapsed in 1920 due to a variety of financial and agriculture problems. Growers decided to turn their interest to citrus because the pineapple was a symbol of Jensen Beach. The fruit legacy is celebrated annually during the Jensen Beach pineapple festival. Jensen Beach is in Martin county and is part of Port St Lucie. The beach is beautiful and free parking is nice, Come check it out. read more

Great location, short walk from the parking lot to the beach, which is good when your grandma is with you, or a 2 year old or when you've just brought your whole house with you to the beach. Be prepared to see this place pretty crowded, anytime any day. For less crowds go check out another beach down the way. Or wait till about 430 pm when it begins to clear out! Lifeguards on duty till 5pm. The shelling here is AMAZING! Shells you will not find anywhere else! Conches, butterscotch clams, oysters, big ones, small ones, some as big as your head. Beautiful. Boogie boarding, SUPing and surfing can be seen here along with wave jumping, kids splashing and Europeans in Speedos! Enjoy the people watching! read more

This is a beach so I'll keep this short. Tons of parking (free). No fee to get on the beach. At least 2-3 lifeguards on duty. Several lounge chairs open to the public. Had no problem getting 2 of them on a Thursday afternoon in December but it wasn't long before someone asked us $10 for the hour per seat or $30 for the say. They allow food on the beach so there are lots of seagulls. Smoking is also allowed. Kind of an older crowd so I wouldn't exactly plan my college spring break here. read more

I've visited this beach on a few different occasions. I don't come down to the Treasure Coast often, but when I do, this is my beach of choice. The beach is always clean, and there are convenient locations for patrons to rinse off. I always use Shuckers as my point of entry to the beach because they have beach umbrellas, tables, and lounge chairs for great prices. There are even places to snorkel, surf, boogie board, and participate in other non-motorized water sports. The beach is clean and quite...not too overcrowded like expected during the summer months. What more can you ask for? I'll definitely be back. read more

Jensen Beach - Ocean is beautiful. - Beaches Near Me - Jensen Beach, Florida

Decent non Caribbean/Miami Florida beach on the Atlantic. Rough waves midday/early afternoon. Great for beginner surfing and body boarding. More gentle early in the evening. I see lots of families with the smaller ones out at this time. Lots of bugs on this beach. I suppose it's due to the beautiful natural greenery lining the beach. My first visit in May there came a swarm of hundreds of dragon flies out of no where. Decent shelling in this beach too. My only negative on this beach is the sharks. Got called into shore second to last time here due to a shark sighting, but we cant really do anything about that can we? I will say that the life guards are definitely observant and attentive. One had to come out to get my friend. A real "Bay Watch" moment lol! Pros: - Great natural beach with lots of wildlife - Great waves for surfing and body boarding - Very clean beach - Not too crowded (I'm coming from NYC & also Miami so this may be relative) - Good parking - Showers in parking lot - Good shelling beach - No tall buildings interrupting scenery Cons: - Lots of bugs - Coarse sand a little rough on feet - Sharks...not cool with me read more

Full disclosure: we live about 4 miles from one of the nicest stretches of beaches in North America so coming here was just fine. Was it needed after a brutal NY winter? Yes. Was it as beautiful, serene and calming as the beaches by us? Hell-to-the-no. Either way, it's a typical Florida beach: lots of seniors; lots of teens; lots of great people watching and lots of terrible tattoos. Next time around, we'll look for a more secluded beach - there are tons along South Beach Road. read more

We love visiting this area! Great local spot with beaches, lagoons, and rivers to kayak. A great price point for any visit!

This is by far my favorite beach. We've been here a handful of times and it never fails. We always find parking, some days it is a little crowded, but never overly crowded. The water is so clear you can see the bottom of the floor and the waves are fun. We've only come on "medium" wave days, but we think it's perfect. This is our go-to beach. read more

Been here a few times and it is an alright beach. They have nice facilities before you get to the actual beach. Plenty of parking in a private lot. They have a snack shack to get food. I have never tried but at least you have that available. The beach itself doesn't have a ton of sand before you get to the water. But again it's the beach. It does get pretty crowded so I would recommend walking down a little where it is less crowded. Overall. It's a beach and the water is really good. read more

This places is beautiful. Zero trash, beautiful sand, pretty shells, and gorgeous water. If you're around Jensen or PSL, stop by this beach! Free parking, and it's not crowded at all! If you're a shell lover like I am, you'll love this beach- they have the prettiest shells. read more

Jensen Beach is perfect for a quick, relaxing beach day! My family and I live about 10 minutes away and find it peaceful to come to this beach for about 3-4 hours and have some fun in the sun! The great thing about this beach is that it's FREE! There are lifeguards on duty and the water is mostly free from seaweed. By the lifeguard stations, there are always flags up describing the ocean that day - it ranges from levels of hazard (which can be strong tides) or even if there is dangerous marine life (like jellyfish) spotted in the ocean that day. Make sure to take note of the sign when you are walking to the beach to know what the colors of the flags mean. On weekends, the beach is extremely packed, but on weekdays it's usually a calm scene with not many people around. This beach is great for kids, especially if they bring their boogie board! Over the summer, the water is warm and the water is calm with a few waves here and there. Another cool thing about this beach is that at night, sea turtles come and lay their eggs in the sand. Many of times, you'll see an area marked off because there are eggs there! The reason why I'm giving this beach 4 stars and not 5 is because there are SO many people smoking cigarettes on the beach that it becomes distracting. You can see all the cigarette butts lying in the sand and it's so sad that this beautiful beach is being trashed. I love this beach because it's convenient and a quick getaway, but the smoking is sometimes a deterrent. read more

The beach is very clean and really nice. They have seating wooden area if you don't want to go on the sand and just watch the waves. read more

On a stay-cation in Port St. Lucie I went here with my family for a little bit of weekend fun. The tide was excellent for surf, not necessarily calm enough for bathing- that was okay though, because the sand bar extends out for about 15 yards, letting you walk far away from the shore with waters at about waist level. Now here's the best part- this is one of the best beaches for seashell collection. For miles along the coast there were hundreds and hundreds of colorful, various shells! It was a little busy, as any beach is at midday in a weekend, but no where near as packed as in palm beach or south FL. read more

Nice escape beach, but had lots of dry sea weeds on the shore. It was windy, and noisy the day we went. This was all on pretty busy on a cloudy December last week. The sand ain't so white as we expected it to be. Miami's south beach is much better, however it's more crowded. There were some 3 life guards posts I could see, on duty. read more

It was very windy when we were here. There are lifeguards on duty and even though there was no swimming and surfing because of the big waves it was comforting to know that they were there. There are rinse off faucets and showers in the bathrooms. I am a sheller and I had great picking and since I take any kind of shell, broken or not and even a little sand I had a 1/2 bucket full. Definitely will come back here. read more
