Everything you need, nothing you have to pay extra for. That alone earns five stars. But the real magic is what surrounds you once you get out there. The reefs right off the beach are incredible for snorkeling. We are talking vibrant fish, clear visibility, and that feeling of stumbling into another world just steps from shore. Today we launched our inflatable paddle boards right from Ocean Reef and paddled all the way down to the Pumphouse and back, a solid 2.7 miles of crystal clear blue water, warm summer sun, and zero crowds. The water was that perfect shade of turquoise that makes you forget you are in Florida and feel like you are somewhere in the Caribbean. Whether you are coming to snorkel the reefs, SUP the Intracoastal, throw something on the grill, or just plant yourself on one of the most beautiful stretches of beach in South Florida, Ocean Reef Park delivers every single time. Highly recommend. Five stars does not even cover it.

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.

So this is my "home beach" since I live in the area. Great beach, lots of space, most of the time…read moreit's not too covered in seaweed- but you gotta check the seasons and when those giant blobs of sargassum are headed our way. The dry area of sand above high tide is large- so be prepared to haul yourself and your stuff over a long distance of hot deep sand. Carts with wheels only roll nicely if you have those big balloon wheels, otherwise you are better off carrying your stuff- I prefer a backpack personally. Many sea turtles nest here, so that's cool to see, but please be a good citizen and not mess with them :). There's a large area in the water that's sand bar, and only about knee deep, so it's a great beach for water walking, playing catch in the water, and just hanging out cooling off. It does get deeper for swimming, I usually see schools of fish out there but have not encountered anything dangerous like sharks ( though they have been spotted here but not frequently). There are a decent amount of shells, especially after a storm so it's fun to go shelling- though not a huge variety most of the time. The beach building in the center before you actually reach the beach has buckets available too if you just want to walk around and pick up a little trash... I enjoy doing this in the morning before it's too hot- it's a nice walk south past the resorts to the inlet and back too. There are also bathrooms and showers outside to rinse sand off. Now the people of riviera beach are a whole different review... there seems to be a cohort of obese women that like to dress like they are in a porno when they head to the beach. It's inappropriate and horrendous. I mean people bring their kids to the beach, so people should be more respectful of how they dress in public.. thongs and string bikinis are not appropriate, exposing complete buttocks is not appropriate. Mesh and string does not equate to adequate coverage in public. Paint is not clothing. I've seen it all. Literally all of some people. If you wouldn't allow your 10 year old kid to wear it- you shouldn't either unless you are at a private or clothing optional beach. I wish this cohort of scantily clad residents would keep in mind that this is a PUBLIC beach, people being kids and families, so swimwear should be kept G rated. There are also some homeless that live in the area and are frequently at the beach- I mean where else are they going to shower? if I were homeless id stay at the beach too. They are harmless for the most part, I've never had any issues, they don't solicit for $ here so you won't be annoyed. I've chatted with a few of them. One guy I've seen there regularly has a dog that he lets roam, dog is friendly and wasn't an issue either... so don't panic if you see a dog, you will be fine. The mall shops are a nice amenity too. 7-11 has all the beach snacks (and booze/ice)- but please clean up and don't leave trash on the beach. Wings has SO MUCH beachy apparel which you can find 2-for specials that make it a good deal especially in the off season. Wings has a lot of ever priced beach toys and chairs too- but so soo over priced. The restaurants are ok... the one at the south end is by far the best food but you won't be able to get in on a weekend for dinner unless you go really early-they are always busy. The other restaurants aren't great. Mulligans food is just bad, and service while friendly, sucks. the drunken goat lacks good service but at least has better food than mulligans and they have specials that make the prices more reasonable. Milligans is the last place I'd eat at here, just FYI. There is a coffee shop that's just "ok", bagels are too hard though, so I'd avoid those.

There is a huge pavilion…read moreright before the beach with park benches, bathrooms, and rinse stations, and a small outlet of restaurants/ shops that you can easily walk to from the beach, so that you don't even have to pick everything up and can leave it and come back- that's exactly what I did. And the beach itself is great! The water is actually so clear, I wasn't sure how it's be since it is atlantic side, and some of the more northern atlantic beaches are pretty murky, but the water here is just as pristine and crystal as they come! Tons of shells as well, especially some really cool orange-striped ones. I loved the day I spent here and wanted to stay longer, though the weather when I went did not bode well for that. Only downside I could think of is parking might get a little tricky because there's not a real big lot, but if you get there early you can get a front row and it's free! I will certainly be back and would definitely encourage you to come if you're debating!

You can find simple, paid street parking lining the entire beach. There is always tons of spots available, so you will never be searching for long. The beach itself is very clean. The sand doesn't have many other materials mixed in it, which allows for a very smooth and pleasant experience. You will see a long line of seaweed at low tide, but this is natural. At high tide, the beach looks pristine. The water is incredibly warm. Even on cold days, you can expect it is water to feel quite warm to the touch. If you're looking for watching the sun, this beach is good for sunrises as you can see it out on the horizon while sitting on the sand.

This review is for the South side of Lake Worth Beach…read more Lake Worth Beach is the closest beach to me, and although I used to mainly only go to Kreusler Park adjacent to this, I have now begun hitting the opposite end, the very South Side of the beach. I park at the City parking pass spots on the bottom parking level, just in front of the grassy little hill, and let my kids run in the grass and climb the trees in the top part while I unload the car. Then we walk a short distance to the very South beach access. This part of the beach is lovely, usually you can walk out really far in the water, no rocks, fish around. The bathrooms are in a little building along here that also has an overhand where people gather when it rains, and the roundabout for pickups/drop offs makes this super convenient. I don't like the fake pigeon squawks, which are really annoying if you're hanging in the picnic area near here under the trees, which is where I usually have my kids eat instead of lugging food down to the beach. And the only 1 shower thing is frustrating, but otherwise, this is a lovely spot!

Perhaps this is due to the location (hidden behind a tennis center and next to the palm beach island golf course), odd parking (either very expensive or a few farther spots free for part of the year and during certain times), or the need to climb a small hill to get to the beachfront. Incredible things about it: fairly secluded a huge grassy area with picnic tables and some top of the hill thatched pavilions. the beach often forms a little river of water seperate from the ocean that is great for kids the rocks: in calmer water, these rocks attract sea creatures and fish. You can snorkel and see awesome things just a foot from shore.

There is ample free parking available in the shopping center adjacent to the beach. Said shopping center also provides many food and drink options. The beach itself is enormous, and even at its most crowded you don't find yourself stumbling over people to find a spot. There's a small line of palm trees towards the back where you can steal some free shade from the glaring Florida sun. If those spots are taken they offer chair, umbrella and chair/tent/canopy rental options. I believe I heard $28 for the day for a 2 chair/canopy combo, but don't quote me on it. The water is clear, clean and amazing. The beach itself is also very clean, with soft sand and a plethora of seashells lying about. Lifeguards are on duty, but not too overzealous. There are also bathrooms, and showering facilities available. Do yourself a favor- if you're looking for a public beach in the vicinity, make this your destination. Thank me later.
