One of my favorite beach access parks -- and conveniently the closest to my home! A heads up on parking during the season: timing is everything. Aim for early morning or later in the afternoon to snag a spot without the stress. What makes this park special is the covered area right next to the upper parking lot -- benches, shade, sea breezes, and a gorgeous view of the beach, all without a single grain of sand in your shoes. I've spent many a relaxed afternoon just soaking in the scenery from up there. But when the mood strikes, I grab my towel or beach chair and head down to the sand for the full beach experience. The amenities are solid: clean bathrooms and rinse-off showers, covered picnic pavilions with grills and tables, and lifeguards on duty daily from 9 to 5. With the recent beach expansion, there's even more shoreline to spread out and embrace your inner beach bum. Whether you're here to unwind in the shade or dig your toes in the sand, Oceanfront Park delivers. Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike! read more

There's a good amount of parking and some spots are even covered. We had no trouble getting a close spot today (Thursday afternoon) but needed to park in the lower lot when we went on Memorial Day in the afternoon. On Memorial Day, there were several groups barbecuing and having parties at the picnic tables around the parking lot area. There were clean bathrooms and the beach was also free of litter. Unfortunately, there was quite a bit of seaweed and a bit of a drop down before getting to the water but overall very nice beach. read more

Can't go wrong with the beach! Tiered level parking, a ramp to the beach for convenience, and bathrooms for use. This park seemed more family-oriented than touristy, which is nice either way depending on what you are looking for. read more

I love Boynton Beach. If you go early, there is plenty of parking and the beach doesn't get crowded until after lunch. The ocean was beautifully clear and the day was a 10! This is how I began my retirement! The only thing I that could make this beach better is if they had a stand for food and/or drink. Even some vending machines would be nice - - did I miss them? read more

This place is such a wonderful family friendly beach to go to! Make sure to come early on holidays and weekends during peak season as the parking lot can sometimes get full. The parking lot is not tremendously big but big enough for a small local community! The beach has a small boardwalk and picnic areas through out. The bathrooms are clean there is an outdoor shower for you to rinse off the salt water and sand! There are no restaurants that are immediately accessible to the beach, but I have seen a food truck in the lot and sometimes a food vendor that sells you basic hotdogs, hamburgers and some beverages. There is a parking fee to come to this beach, so make sure you pay at the parking kiosk. Some parking spots have covered parking so your car is not baking hot in the sun! But those are the first spots to get scooped up! Some of the picnic areas even have electrical outlets so that you can charge up your laptop if you wanted to work outside! If you have an EV.... Yes there is even a place to charge your car! There is also a nice playground for the little kids to enjoy The only draw back of this beach is that the beach does not have a deep shoreline. So if the beach is packed you will have to walk a bit to get a vacant spot! read more

This was my first time at this park. I took my husband, Paul so that we could scout it out to see how handicapped accessible it is. We have a Community event coming up here and we wanted to see if it was easy to park and if there was a ramp. It turns out that we came late afternoon and we got a handicapped parking spot immediately. I used my ParkMobile app to pay for an hour of parking $2.85. Bathrooms were clean. There was a long ramp down to the beach with handrails on both sides. There was also a beach wheelchair available if necessary. There were park benches and a covered area to sit at. The breeze was heavenly. The concession area was closed until further notice. There was an area to wash off sand also. I look forward to returning and bring prepared to sit on the beach and check out the ocean. I did notice lots of beach goers having a lot of fun. read more

Recommend going during the week. Barely any seaweed today. Clear water. Peaceful. Stress free. Breezy. Sit back and enjoy.

The biggest issue with this place is the trash. We saw trash up and down the beach where people had left their food bags. There was also a homeless guy sleeping on the park bench. We went there to watch the sunrise. While it was a beautiful sunrise, the beach looked nasty. read more

This is the jewel of Boynton's public parks. The park features barbecue grills, benches, a concessions building with snacks and beach chairs, restrooms, showers, a volleyball court and a boardwalk that overlooks the beautiful beach. Originally the space of the beach casino that was built in 198 and demolished in 1967, it was approved as the Walter A. Madsen Park in appreciation of former Mayor, Vice-Mayor and City Councilman Walter A. Madsen. It has been updated a number of times since then, including the restoration of the dunes, the build out of the boardwalk. In the mid 1990s, the boardwalk was rebuilt out of recycled plastic and then in 2012, it was improved again with the refurbishment of the restrooms. There is a large paid parking lot, lots of space for sun worship and several nice shady spots for enjoying a view of the beach. It was particularly windy today which was good for the kiteboarders but not so much with all the sand being blown around for me.

Tucked in among the million dollar mansions of the Gods is a slice of heaven the city reserved for us mere mortals. Dedicated in 1984, this is Boynton's main beach and it has all of the best South Florida has to offer, perfect for swimmers and sun worshippers. There are two parking levels. A lower lot close to the street and a strip of spaces up the hill closer to the beach. Residents can purchase annual passes. Parking is enforced between 7 AM and 9 PM every day and it can be paid for through the park mobile app for $1.50 an hour. Lifeguards are on duty every day from 9 to 5. This beach is ADA accessible. As I was walking up I saw someone utilizing a beach wheelchair and the life guards have Mobil-mats to provide access to the sand. Other park amenities include the Turtle Cafe concession stand where you can get food as well as beach chair and umbrella rentals, picnic areas and pavilions with grills, a playground, and restrooms. In Match of this year the Army Corps of Engineers finished a restoration project leaving the beach wide and smooth. The sand lost to Hurricane Irma in 2017 was replaced. Also new to the park are FPL solar awnings which provide shade for cars and charging stations for electric cars. Sea turtle nesting season is March 1st to October 31st. There is a really cool statue of a sea turtle named Opus 14, not far from where they nest. If you want to help the sea turtles, aside from taking extra care not to disturb the nests, you can grab a bucket from the station by the restrooms and help keep the beach clean by picking up trash. I love the beaches in Palm Beach County. They are clean, have a ton of amenities, ample parking, and well trained life guards. Bring a picnic and it is a frugal way to entertain a family and enjoy a day out. It is always the perfect time to enjoy the beaches of South Florida. read more

Chaises, umbrellas, lifeguards & cool breezes. Parking is $1.25 per hour 12 hour max. Snack bar, showers, clean restrooms - just perfect! Nice coming off season when there is plenty of parking, chairs & sunshine. Enjoyed looking at the turtle Ness and seeing the babies working their way down to the ocean. Simon was very accommodating, he checked our beach pass and asked if we needed anything. read more

The beach is plenty big to spread out and enjoy the sun, surf and sand. The paid entrance at the guard house is gone and a new parking system is in place. There are pay kiosks on the top level of the parking area. The charge is $1.50 per hour. There is also a downloadable app to pay for parking too. The parking rates apply between the hours of 7am to 9pm. The life guards are patrolling from 9am to 4pm. There is a pretty good snack bar with many healthy food and beverage choices. The bathrooms are usually well stocked with toilet paper and soap. There is a beach chair service that charges $15 per hour for two padded lounge chairs with a small table and a big blue umbrella. (They also rent for a full day) I like this beach because it is well maintained and it is safe to spend the day here. read more

Oceanfront Park is a beautiful destination in Boynton Beach. The beach is outstanding, it's not at all crowded and there was plenty of parking, which was great. Aside from the beach there's a nice promenade where you can grab a bench and check out the waves and there's even a little playground for your little ones to run around in, if they get sick of the sand and waves. I saw in other reviews that there were some food concession stands near the beach, but I didn't see anything open unfortunately. We wound up here by chance! but I'm happy we arrived and got to experience this cool location. Four stars. I hope to be back soon. read more

I've never ventured into this park simply because it requires a level of commitment I was unable to concede to: it costs $10 flat- cash only!- paid in advance. I used to think this price was outrageous, but I completely did a 360 recently when I met a friend here. The beauty of paying for parking upfront is that we could stay as long as we wanted without ever needing to run back to the meter to add more money; what a relief! At least on the busy winter weekend when we attended, the parking lot was completely filled by late morning. Similar to Lake Worth Beach, there is upper and lower 'level' parking with a small grassy area in between. There are picnic tables, grills, and pavilions scattered throughout the park. This beach has a wheelchair-accessible ramp; if you need to transport your beach items via a rolling cart, this is the place to do it. I appreciated the shady pavilion at the top of the stairs where I could rest my children for a sec. It's SO NICE to have the 'cafe' also here in case you end up staying at the beach for way longer than you expected and need sustenance. You can even 'rent' boogie boards here. The beach and water were awesome! We will definitely be back. read more

This beach is well maintained and beautiful. The pavilion and bathrooms were fairly clean (for a beach) and there is a lot of affordable parking. The actual beach does accumulate seaweed and this weekend there were also a lot of jelly fish washed up. However the water is beautiful. There were plenty of people kite boarding and swimming although the water was a bit chilly. There was plenty of space to spread out in the sand. read more

An incredible beautiful beach. Really nice for sunrises and sunsets. Super clean. They also have plenty benches if you just wanted to sit and watch the ocean waves. Also a lot of parking read more

Very nice park and beach area. You do have to pay $10 to park but it includes all the amenities like grills, beach access, bathrooms, picnic areas, etc. You can also rent umbrellas and lounge chairs but that costs extra. The beach is extremely clean, didn't see any trash at all. It seems very family friendly although there isn't much to do on the boardwalk part, just a small cafe and picnic area. I did really like that there are a lot of shaded areas on the boardwalk above the beach. This is great for people like me who don't like to be in the sun too long and get burned easily! The mansions are gorgeous and you can walk along the shore behind them to get a better view. I also saw some people snorkeling to get nicer shells than those on the beach already. There were lots of small shells but the bigger ones get trapped lower down due to a shelf underwater, at least when I was here which may have been higher tide. read more

This beach is so calm, peaceful, and not overcrowded. You'll need a beach pass to hang on the beach, but definitely worth not being bothered. There are beach chairs and mini cabanas around, but if you're with a group bring some extras. There are lifeguards on site. If you're looking to rent jet skis and boats there's a little place by the bridge not too far away that rents them out. I don't see any jet skis out on the water, but it's also a Tuesday afternoon. The water's super clear and the sand is nice and clean. Great family and/or friends hang out. read more

One of my favorite beach locations to visit!!! It's hardly ever crowded and especially so in the late afternoons. I've gotten some of my best sunset photos of South Florida from this location and some of my best reflections as well. I would recommend it for those who are looking for a peaceful relaxation place and a quieter swimming experience at the beach! read more

3.5 Stars Its hard for me not to like a beach, and that isn't to say that I don't necessarily like this beach. The main drawback for me is this: It is a smaller sized beach, all sloping at an angle. Being that it's public, will make for it being way crowded (especially when the tide is in). Which wouldn't be so bad, if it weren't for the fact that you have to pay for parking ($10 up until 4pm) even though there are plenty of spots. There's handicap access, toilet/showering facilities and even a snack bar (not sure of the hours). Theres also chair rental. Not an awful beach, but I feel there's better in the vicinity... read more

I love this beach. Main reason the beautiful board walk. Even on a cold night in November the board walk provides a safe and comfortable place to view a large glowing full moon. In warmer months enjoy the clean sandy beaches for a game of football, volleyball, or just making sand castles. If you haven't to the beach in a while, go out and enjoy the improvements. read more

Beautiful park with beautiful views. You pay for parking $10 per car in the winter and $5 in the summer. There is lots of parking. Covered seating and viewing spots to sit away from the beach yet take in the sounds and the beauty. Barbecue grills, pavilions, food, drink and ice cream stand, chair rentals, and all is here. Beautiful park, I enjoyed viewing the amazing sunsets, the cleanliness, and the beauty of the area. Restrooms were very clean! You pay for the serenity, cleanliness, and one stop shopping, very worth it!!! read more

This is a terrific beach to frequent in Palm Beach Co. I am fortunate to live close enough to walk here on a regular basis. Life guards and parking fees are only during the 9-5 hours, no fees or lifeguards after hours which is a nice time to go. The post by Donna M. is false; Boynton does not have one of the highest crime rates in the country, that is simply inaccurate, irresponsible and, well, it's just stupid. read more

Oceanfront Park Beach is beautiful and very well maintained. Perfect to spend the entire day around or just come for a long enjoyable walk along the ocean. The beach is rarely overcrowded even during the busy months. The parking lot is big, it costs 5$ during the summer months and 10$ during the winter. If you are Boynton Beach resident you can buy an yearly pass for 50$. And if you would rather bike to the beach there are few bike stands around. The little park has nice picnic facilities including barbecues, clean and well maintained bathrooms, small beach cafe. You can rent lounge chairs and umbrellas, but I find them overpriced so bring what you need to hang around in comfort. read more

I had forgotten until I arrived that this is the beach that charges $10 before you can even see what it's like. As I had less than 2 hours, I didn't go in. The beach photos I saw online didn't look like anything special. No way it could be "the best beach in Palm Beach County." I've been to most of them numerous times, & rated them 4-5***** Maybe the fee is to keep out troublemakers. The local newspaper reported several violent crimes over a 4-day period, as well as the fact that BB has one of the highest crime rates in the nation. I won't be returning. read more

Great clean beach. Parking is $5 until 4pm. It's free after 4 pm. I've being going to this beach the last few weekends and it has never been crowded. There's a small pavilion by the parking lot and a small playground for the little ones. You can rent a lounge chair on the beach for $5 an hour but they're set up away from the ocean. There's a bathroom and food vendor on the boardwalk. So stop being lazy and pissing in the ocean. :) read more

Nice, clean, large public beach. $10 per car entry fee (cash only). Clean restrooms. They have a snack bar (limited hours, I think) but you're better off bringing your own lunch/cooler. Umbrella, chair, cabana, etc. rental service available. It's not cheap (what is these days?) but it is what it is. We went there twice and will be back whenever we're in town and want to go to the beach. read more

Well here we are on the beach. It's beautiful and there is a nice cool breeze. The only problem is there is a 4-5 foot drop off to actually get to the water. The tied must have eroded the beach. Otherwise it's beautiful out here. It does cost $10 to park, so that's why they get a 3 star. read more
