Driving across the Flagler Bridge with the yachts in view got the juices flowing and five minutes later finally entering the iconic Worth Ave. Really this tiny island littered with mini mansions, bougie shops and the high end euro cafés give the area a unique ambiance. Breathtaking views of the sandy beach with the wind blowing through the palm trees and the blue-green ocean as the back drop for an awesome portrait or video. Noticed barely any seaweed unlike Hollywood or Fort Lauderdale beaches. read more

Spent half a day here with friends on this secluded island just over the bridge. It was a beautiful day for the beach but the wind was blowing my hair everywhere. So doubt a person needs a big wallet to live and shop on this island. Fun shopping on Worth Ave at only a couple places and had a few cocktails and appetizers at some of the famous restaurants. read more

Palm Beach is an affluent town on a barrier island in southeastern Florida, known for its luxurious resorts, mansions, and high-end shopping on Worth Avenue, developed from a Gilded Age resort destination by Henry Flagler. It's separated from West Palm Beach by the Intracoastal Waterway and is famous for its pristine beaches, tropical landscaping & is a winter haven for the wealthy, with strict building regulations and a focus on historic preservation, including Flagler's Whitehall mansion. read more

Be Cautious When Parking Please be aware and don't make the same mistake I did even if you're just stopping for a quick 10 minutes. It's better to be safe than sorry. Worst beach experience ever. Watch Out for Street Parking - $75 Ticket in Minutes. Be very careful with street parking here. I stopped for less than 10 minutes just to take a quick photo, and when I came back, there was already a $75 ticket on my car. They issue tickets incredibly fast, so it's not worth the risk. Make sure to check all signs and paid to park , even if you think you'll only be a minute. The beach entrance is a long walk, and there are no showers to rinse off your feet. The beach itself was dirty and disappointing. Thanks to the city for the quick ticket. Lesson learned. I won't be coming back. read more

Living in Florida, I've been to a lot of beaches, and I have to say; this is a very well kept, and beautiful beach. There's lots of wonderful little boutiques, and eateries nearby and probably what is the fanciest looking Publix I have ever seen in my life not too far away. The only issue is that if you do the street parking, it's pay by app only, and it's approximately (can't remember the exact price) $6 an hour. Pretty steep in my opinion especially if you're planning to spend a good couple of hours here. Highly recommend stopping by Loic bakery if you enjoy good French pastries and coffee, bring em over to the beach and enjoy a beautiful and relaxing time. read more

The area that is now known as Palm Beach used to be called Lake Worth. The name change is said to be a result of the shipwreck Providencia. The ship was sailing in January 1878 with a load of coconuts bound from Havana to Barcelona when it became stranded on a reef. Early settlers quickly gathered up and planted the non native coconuts that washed up in order to start a commercial coconut industry and so the name Palm Beach was born. Palm Beach is an unincorporated town on a barrier island separated from the mainland of West Palm Beach by the Lake Worth Lagoon. You reach it by crossing over the lagoon using the Flagler Memorial Bridge. Palm Beach is known for its ultra wealthy homes, beautiful beaches, upscale boutiques, galleries and restaurants. Between 1919 and 1924, noted American resort architect Addison Mizner designed 67 buildings in Palm Beach including Worth Avenue and the famed Everglades Club. It has been a favorite destination for US Presidents John F. Kennedy and Donald Trump. My favorite destinations in Palm Beach include the museum in Whitehall which was railroad magnate Henry Flagler's former home, historic Bethesda-by-the-Sea church, the Society of the Four Arts sculpture garden, The Breakers, window shopping on Worth Avenue, dining at Royal Poinciana Plaza, Memorial Fountain Park, and the Clock Tower. The population of Palm Beach swells during the winter season. In 2016 it was the 27th wealthiest place to live in the United States. The town is estimated to have more than 30 billionaires. Palm Beach is a fun place to dine, take in culture, sun on the beach, and get a glimpse into how the super rich live. read more

Next time I'm in Palm Beach, I'm going to pass on going to this area of the beach. Parking is only on the street, no parking garages to be found, and the street parking is hard to obtain due to it being occupied quickly during prime time. Parking through the ParkMobile app is $5.35 per hour. For the 2021 Memorial Day weekend, the city didn't even bother to take the seaweed off the beach; it was everywhere. The water was a perfect temperature at the end of May, not too cold and not too warm, but it gets up to your shoulders within about 10 steps. read more

Palm Beach is so beautiful. It's definitely Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. I've been fortunate enough to go for Art Exhibits at the galleries plus attended other events in Palm Beach. I always spend the entire day window shopping. The beach is as beautiful as the others have described. Naturally I have to cruise the coast gawking at the mansions. I'm sorry to say to me Manhattan can't compare when it comes to the lifestyle and atmosphere of Palm Beach. It's a wonderful place to vacation if you can afford it.

I love this beach, it radiates peace and wealth. I drive up here once in a blue moon so soak up the "billionaire row" energy, and when I'm done and go to their local beach. There's no undesirables, the water is purer and bluer than the beaches further south going back to Miami. I love that they have many piers of rocks I can walk out on and just stare out into the open blue. They have parking right along the beach, so you just park and jump in the water, or go out and tan. read more

Wonderful beach with soft sands and blue waters complete with lifeguards and a very nice stretch of sidewalk. Parking is $5/hour with a maximum of 8 hours and are right by the beach. You can also use an app but I did not want to download a second one to use once. You can pay using a credit card at the parking meter. The beach is in a very nice, well-manicured area. I swear, they must employ hundreds of landscaper to keep things so nice. The bathrooms were clean, however, I felt like I stepped into Moaning Myrtle's bathroom when I went to use a stall. I had to carefully walk around the puddle but alas, there were some right by the toilet as well. I guess it is to be expected when using beach facilities. Nevertheless, it was clean and did not smell which is a plus! read more

A Gorgeous Beach ~ But Expensive to Park Nearby The landmark for the Midtown Municipal Beach is the Clock Tower where the famous Worth Avenue meets South Ocean Blvd. A gorgeous beach to take a long walk on @ Sunset ~ the azure water glistens & the sound of the waves is perfect. You can choose from the sandy beach or a paved walkway above the concrete fence next to the street. Convenient street parking in both directions. Parking is $5 per hour. There is a minimum of 2 hours / $10. Do not let the meter expire ~ the Meter Hounds are out in droves, here & everywhere in PB. Note that hundreds of previously-Free public side-street spaces have recently been converted to permit parking only. I took off 1* because there are nearby beaches with less expensive parking fees, & a few miles away there are beach parks with Free Parking. read more

Gorgeous view and plenty of parking on the street. It was cold and windy but everyone was having a great time. The meters are a bit difficult at first. You have to punch in the parking space number and then pay. You can go back and add money to your space anytime you want. They don't give a paper receipt. They have life guard stations but that is about it. It's amazing how every beach on the coast has a distinct feeling to it. This one is close to top notch food and shopping.

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.

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.
