This place was beautiful, so much to see and do and learn. If you have a kayak, or a paddleboard, or any small non motorized boat this is the place to be, take your family have a picnic on the beach sit back and enjoy the sun. Bring your water for the hike to the beach its a long one but well worth the walk. If you need to use the bathrooms make sire to use them before you walk to boardwalk to the beach. Its 5$ to get in but I only had to pay 4$ maybe because the all access pass for the national parks i had Im not sure and I didnt ask any questions.

This park is very good. $5 per car. I went to here a Friday afternoon, very few people, the beach is quiet and super clean. I love the wooden trial bridge connecting the parking area and the beach, not a long walk and you can enjoy beautiful scene. But it is better you take a cooler with wheels. The water is like soft silk, so pretty. The gift shop is closed and no rent for paddle board these days.

I absolutely love this place! The boardwalk where you can see a lot of wild life from is great and the beach is beautiful. It’s so nice too that there are picnic tables and benches a long the way if you want to stop to eat or rest. Unfortunately when we where there today there was an entire family, women, children and men naked and showering where you rinse off the sand. I feel bad if this is the only place these people can shower ( I can’t think of any other reason) but this is a family park and no one to be subjected to that.

This is the best beach we have found yet. Clear blue water and the snorkeling is awesome. It is a long walk to the beach so put your sunscreen before you start the trek. The scenery makes up for the walk.

Loved this park! We walked their and rented a kayak for about an hour and a half. Staff was very friendly. Great way to exercise and see nature! Kayaked around an island in the inner coastal. Can’t wait to go back and walk the trails and visit the beach area!

Beautiful beach to visit! Water was a gorgeous blue-green. Waves and current were quite strong, so we didnt journey far in the water. The walk to the beach takes you over a massive boardwalk and river, which is unique. Well worth the $5 admission fee!

While the beach and facility is beautiful, I couldn’t help but notice the juvenile loggerhead turtle that they have near their gift shop. I’m curious as to what permits they have that allow them to keep a locally threatened (and ENDANGERED in other areas of the world) animal in such a small tank. There is no way that this turtle will continue to have a good quality of life if released back, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s survival rate is drastically reduced because of this. What is the purpose of having this turtle here if they are not injured or sick?

I love this park. Its close to my favorite fishing spot. ( Under the burnt bridge) We saw a sting ray, and daddy swore he saw a crock sticking its head out the water for air. There is a boardwalk where you can see the ocean and a lot of the wildlife.Its great we have places like these where the nature is natural and untouched. Its as real as it gets people. Lol

It is a beautiful, beautiful beach. Right now the tram service isnt running to take you to the beach, and it is a bit of a walk. Especially at 3pm on a sunny day and you are not use to the south Florida heat. Our special needs son was overwhelmed and overheated, after the long walk and we called the rangers and the graciously came to take us back to the car. Everyone was nice and it really is such a gorgeous place.

An awesome state park. The beach feels secluded despite its close proximity to town. You have to cross a fairly long bridge to get over the estuary, but the park has a golf cart shuttle service that can help transport you and your things. Being a state park, there is a nominal entrance fee that is well worth it in my opinion.

This was a great experience. The beach was not very busy. People were fantastic that worked there. The walk wasn’t bad but in flip Flops I sure did appreciate the ride across. The stores had good gift options and the turtle was affordable too watch swim in its tank. While here we saw dolphins. Turtles swam near us. It was great.

Beautiful park. Nice walking trail and bridge. Most attractions were closed due to corona virus

One of Floridas best state parks hands down. The beach access is very natural and its a great place to fish, swim, snorkel, and more . This beautiful state park offers hiking trails and other amenities.

This place is heaven, and took my breath away. The water is crystal clear and blue. Its mostly very calm and the sand is soft and white. When I arrived to the boardwalk, which you can take the beautiful 6-7 minute walk yourself or take one of the ongoing golf carts that transport people until 4pm most days, I was greeted by a large green iguana and walking onto the sand I could see medium-sized crabs that blended in with the sand poking their heads out of the holes they made to see if the coast was clear. It costs $4 for entry if youre alone in a car, or $5 if you have 2+ people. This beach is simply perfect and showcases the very best of Florida.

This beach was very nice although it was a12 minutes hike across an estuary.

It’s so nice too that there are picnic tables and benches a long the way if you want to stop to eat or restThe boardwalk where you can see a lot of wild life from is great and the beach is beautiful.

I drove 60 miles to this beach from Miami. It was worth every mile! What a beautiful beach. At 1pm there was still no one there. In 5 feet of water I could see my feet clearly. $5 fee to enter park that I will gladly pay. Be prepared to walk if you go to the beach but its a great walk. Cooler with wheels a must!

This spectacular park is Palm Beach County’s only state park. It is truly a gem and I had an incredible visit recently.You can plan your visit to kayak to Munyon Island or the estuary, or take a hike on one of the nature trails. Our goal this visit was to go to the 2 mile beach on the ocean. It’s approximately a third of a mile from the beginning of the boardwalk, so if you’re planning to take a lot of beach gear you might want to think twice about it. They do offer a complimentary tram but unless it’s empty, it would not allow you to bring much as it only seats about six people.You can rent a kayak, which is located near the nature center. There is also an aquarium and water tanks that house sea turtles. The gift shop is stocked with snacks as well as drinks. I asked the sales person there how the snorkeling was and she said it was great. You must rent a diving flag for $20 in order to snorkel or scuba dive.The park has many programs which include birding and butterfly walks, moonlight concerts, turtle walks and more. There is a $5 entry fee per car and this is free should you become a member of the park. Ask for a map at the gate.Having returned from Hawaii recently, walking through some of the park’s trails reminded me of Hawaii’s lushness. it’s a peaceful oasis and you can get lost in it just listening to the birds and other animals that reside in the woods there. I’m looking forward to returning soon and possibly becoming a member.

Spectacular park that has something for everyone. From kayaking, fishing and birding on the one side to probably one of the nicest beaches on the other. There is also a little reef for snorkeling!

One of the most breathtaking beaches Ive been to. Taking the tram, and then long trek on the boardwalk to the beach makes you feel like youre being transported through the jungle to a far away, private escape. Clear water and hot sand welcome you, as well as baby sea turtle nests. Fairly quiet and a short distance to the water (once you make it to the beach, finally...), so you can set up anywhere. Feels like the edge of the earth when you are on this trip of the island. Beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful. Park admission is very affordable and worth ever penny upon arriving. Beautiful views. Clean facilities. Informative plaques. Very nice beach and never crowded.

Very niceEven tables to eat on the boardwalk over the waterWe brought sandwiches and ate on the boardwalkIt was awesome5 dollar entry per car

Beautiful and peaceful! We enjoyed our visit here. Nice park and beach. $5 per car. And the tram comes every 10 min to take you over to the beach and back. Spray shower available to wash off the sand. We were even able to feed the squirrels, they came right up to us. So cool!

We rented Kayaks for a half day and we had the best time! The kayaks are in good shape. If youre renting its first come first serve so you should arrive at the gift shop promptly at 9am or shortly thereafter. If you rent for 4 hours youll get a discount. You must grab a vest first before you go into the gift shop to get your rental. They use the number on the vest to hold your rental, as well as your credit card. They also provide a map of the best route to take. Very professional staff and quick in and out.Be sure to check the weather and tides before attempting to go out. They will not rent out the kayaks if the weather isnt so great. Enjoy!

Gorgeous wish tr was running. I cant walk far.so was limited.

This place is amazing. There is a lot of wild life. We rented a kayak and we paddled beside 2 manatees for 45 minutes. There is also a beautiful short hiking trail. Recommended!

What an amazing experience here and at the Nature Center and they have a wonderful gift shop! The bridge goes all the way across the river to the ocean and they also have a tram to take you across as well ️.

Honestly I just love this place. End review ️

Its a interior place & a beach. Not at all crowd at this place, hardly few people know about this. But its a nice place to visit & its also very clean. I love the surroundings & if you are lucky you might get to see turtles. Parking is around 0.7 miles from the beach across the bridge & 5$ per car entry fee

We went for a quick visit but ended up spending the entire afternoon here. It felt as if we were in our private beach. Not many people around. We had to cross a wooden footbridge before reaching the beach. There is also a tram facility. In the beach, the waves were quite strong enough for us to enjoy thoroughly. It had a clean restrooms, water taps to clean off the sand and overall, a well maintained park. The only problem was they close early and when they close all the restrooms were locked off. So, be prepared and plan for early departure.

Ive visited this place a few times in the past year and its always a great place to go if youre in the mood for a bit of photography or a great Beach day! Theres a few different trails to walk on and a nature center/ gift shop if youre interested in learning about the local wildlife here in Florida. Definitely would recommend this place for anyone visiting from out of town or locals to the area!

The beach of course, but it is unique that the wooden bridge take you over the intercoastal canal with a beautiful extended walk to get there.

Beautiful park with tons of activities, exhibits, plus plenty of parking! The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the area. There is a park admittance fee but there are also annual pass options if you live nearby enough to visit often. There are also kayak rentals, guided tours, and even beach clean ups! From the parking lot, there is a really long boardwalk to the beach and there isnt much shade but between 10-4 there is usually a little shuttle service from one end to the other. Very impressed with this park and its facilities.

Great place to stretch your legs on the half mile boardwalk bridge.

If you’re a nature person, this place is amazing. There is a fee of $5 per car but it’s worth it

Absolutely my favorite beach. Perfect for respite from the craziness of everyday life.

Beautiful and peaceful place. Very calm beach, educated people and clean areas.

Nice private beach, beautiful water. Theres a little trolly that will take you over the wooden bridge if you dont want to walk. Its well worth the $5!

Well worth the walk to get to the beach. Great facilities as well.

I do like this place...BUT...just know it is a decent walk to the beach. When I say decent, its a bit of a hike. If you have a lot of stuff, you may want to bring a beach wagon or cart to haul your chairs, umbrella, etc. It is a beautiful walk through the trees, across a long wooden walkway, across the intercoastal, then through some more trees and either down a trail or across another wooden walkway, then another trek to the water across some VERY hot sand. Flip flops are not your friend here. You will need something more substantial as you will need to scale a small sand hill to get to the water and your flip flops Will get stuck as you sink to your knees down into the sand on the hill. Once you get to the water, the waves are rough. If you get past the waves breaking, there is decent snorkeling. You will definitely need a flag for snorkeling. There are no lifeguards and jet skis will come close to the shore. BE WARE...there are signs warning about crocodiles and asking that you report them if you see them in the swimming area or along the trails. Other than these concerns, it was decent/nice. Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite state parks. Beautiful boardwalk, always clean and nice place to snorkel.

I am in love with this park...have been since i was a kid. Gift shop is adorable, nature center is a must. Kayak launch is perfect! Im in awe the moment I drive in. Natural Florida beautiful.

Perfect place if you like to be outdoor and love nature. Plenty of things to do. You can rent a kayak, if weather permits. Many hiking trails avaliable, just make sure to bring repellent. Or just simply go to the beach, and if you are lucky, you might be able to see turtles.

Great place for kayaking, walking, fishing and tons of wildlife to view

One of my favorite Beach parks. Its nearly empty first thing in the morning. Its quiet, peaceful and lots of animal life. Also, great place to kayak!

Feels like a private beach!! Peaceful and just beautiful

Had a great roll on the boardwalk and even down the sand path. Very pretty trails!

Clean and safe beach. Lots of fun def. Recomend

My favourite beach, always have to make a visit here when Im in Florida. The latest trip was amazing, especially the turtle walk at night. Incredible place, love it!

My favorite beach/ park on the east coast of Florida. Lovely trails.. privacy.. nature.. changing scenery. Beautiful!! You can rent kayaks there. Staff is very friendly. ( the turtle in the tiny aquarium is a bit disturbing)Update:Boaters and jetskiers go full speed way too close to shore!I almost lost my life to an irresponsible jetskier!

DO NOT PAY FOR YEARLY KAYAK RENTAL MEMBERSHIP!I paid for the entire year membership thinking that I could go kayaking. It’s not like that. They only open a few times out of the entire year for kayak rental. Even on a good day they will tell you the weather isn’t permitted. This is a lake. There are no boat come in and out, therefore, there is no wake. It’s shallow and is safe on most days. If there’s a chance of light rain or wind blowing at less than 15 mph, they won’t allow kayak rental on that day. They closed for 3 months due to covid 19, and even now that we are on phase 1, they are still closed it’s ridiculous. I will never purchase membership here again and would give a ZERO STAR if I could.

My favorite beach by far. There is a long walk from parking to the beach ( you have to take a boardwalk across the intercostal) but its worth it. The beach is never crowded. There are rock reefs in the shallows you can dive if you like snorkeling, and you see a lot of sealife.

Beautiful park. Lots of space to social distance

Did some kayaking & fishing here recently. If you plan on kayaking and fishing at the same time, be sure to bring a life jacket, whistle, and fishing license per person.

Paid the $5 for my dog and myself to get into the park. Very basic kayak launch area, plenty of parking too. There is a wooden deck to rinse your boat off at also.Wonderful paddling around the many sand bars and lots of other people enjoying the water too! I will be going back. They also rent kayaks if you do not have your own.I did not check out the beach as dogs are not allowed in that area. Didnt matrer, there were plenty of sand bars to romp on.

So much fun, lots of different things to do there with the kids

This place is truly beautiful! I spent a couple hours just enjoying a walk with the kids and some seashell exploration and had a good time. I still need to go kayaking!

Almost like our own private beach.

I love this place! The beach is beautiful and Ive been several times and have never seen it busy. It does take a little walking to get to the beach but its a beautiful walk and they have a shuttle, if you prefer. They also offer guided nature walks at 10 am every day, which I recommend. Ive seen lots of little crabs popping up through holes in the sand here, too!

Long walk to beach but worth it the water is very clear has a lot of fish great for snorkeling. Shallow water great for kids

This beach is awesome! The water is crystal clear and you can see the fish! The whole family enjoyed the day here!

Everything was amazing and I swam a little but my boyfriend didnt care too much about swimming. However I didnt know there were a bit of crocodiles around here so just be careful.

Thought this park was absolutely amazing. Found some really great pieces of sea glass as well!

Amazing park with so much to do for the low cost of admission! $5 per car! They offer a tram (golf cart) ride to/from the beach over the lake. You can rent or bring your own Paddle boards and/or kayaks to use on the lake. The beach is huge and has rocky and sandy areas. Not a lot of shells around today but lots of tumbled broken shell fragments that would make great jewelry, etc.

ABSOLUTELY loved it! The volunteer staff are great people who give back for your enjoyment and pleasure. These people give you better service than the majority of people that are paid for it, thats how well they love and enjoy what they do.Thank you John D & Foundation for the foresight and preservation of such a beautiful piece of Florida nature.

Just a great place! We went three times to the beach, visited the gift shop and really enjoyed it! The staff was very friendly.

Blown away at this tucked away little gem. The beach was gorgeous, the water calm, the people were so kind and helpful. I will definitely be returning.They also have kayaks and snorkeling gear on site to rent. Really great place!

Sea was pretty rough the day we were there but gorgeous park and overall really nice place to spend a few hours

Well worth the drive from the Gables to spend a entire day here. This state park is so pristine and the nature trails are spectacular !

An extension of the Juno Beach to the SouthKajaks for rent starting at $12 per a single one.Be there early at around 8 am or you wont have any to rent.A long wooden bridge takes you to the beach. A tram would take you for free if you prefer not to walk. That service ends at 4pm!A store its located in the heart of the park along with an amphitheater and a small aquarium.You can snorkel there too. We didnt though. Cant offer an opinion about that then. As far as the rest of this park to me aint worth to visit it more than once.Juno beach offers you an excellent beach for free!

Beautiful park, great place to spend the day. You can rent kayaks (2 person or single) and you can kayak out to Munyon Island and pretty much have an island all to yourself. We brought our lunch and sat by the beach. You can fish off the kayaks. There’s a lot of wildlife, a small area of one of the islands was inhabited by about 40 turkey vultures. We saw osprey diving into the water to catch fish and a horseshoe crab. You can walk along a boardwalk to get to the beach or there’s usually someone with a golf cry driving people back and forth.They also have a lot of events there. They’ll have live music and food trucks. There’s daily nature walks, trails, and a sea turtle. Definitely worth visiting.

I just love this place, beautiful and quiet, parking lot, clean and the beach is great!

For the past 20 years, I have made it a point to visit this park whenever I could while in Florida. The staff has always been great, and there are usually a reasonable number of visitors.

Very nice state park. Good parking and handicapped access and parking. Informing nature center and clean bathrooms. Great wildlife viewing.

This place is amazing! Use natural sunscreen to protect the reef that you can swim to! Amazing walking paths. Kayak rentals. A learning center & more. We loved it.

The place was amazing. Truly beautiful. Theres a long boardwalk to walk across, which takes you to a beautiful beach, or canoeing, or nature trails. They host events all the time and a fully loaded gift shop. The only thing that I thought was crappy is that there were not any vending machines to purchase drinks and the gift shop closes early. I think it should stay open while the park is open or have another source to purchase waters or drinks. We were quite thirsty, especially after walking so much.

My wife and I always make a stop here whenever were in town. Lovely park with walking trails and a lovely quiet beach. Also has kayaks available to rent if youre looking for something a bit more active.

A great place to explore Floridas amazing biodiversity from intercoastal mangroves to sandy beach dunes. Rent a kayak and paddle the river or walk the boardwalk to the beach and enjoy the shoreline.

This beach was so nice! :) It is definitely worth it to pay the $5 to enter because this beach is super empty and private. There is a good amount of parking, shade, there is a park, and picnic tables. The employees are all very nice and helpful, and this is just overall a pretty cool spot. Im glad we found it :) It is a bit of a walk to get to the beach, but they have benches and shade, as well as cool informative placards on wildlife nearby. Neat!

Good place to have fun with family and friends. deep blue sea- awesome view.

An absolute must to visit. Closest thing to a private beach, if you go early. Be ready to walk. Bring shade and plenty to drink. You can also kayak here.

Wonderful park. This is the Florida that people should see.

This state park has everything that a beach-side state park needs, pretty and clean beach, great nature hiking trails, and a friendly staff. Also a great place to go Kayaking.

I enjoyed walking on the beach it was a beautiful day.

Great place to go for a day out. Nice beach, lovely scenery and lots of wildlife.

Such a beautiful park and they have an amazing volunteer program to pick up trash that washes on the shore from the ocean! Everyone should do this when going there. Such a great initiative and such a beautiful place!

What a marvelous place to learn, experience and relax in nature!

What a gem!! Beach was super clean

Love this location. They have monthly clean up. Check the website for all the latest info. Wonderful spot to kayak

Beautiful beach. The waves were too big for us to get to the reefs but gorgeous park overall.

Great park for kayaking and the beach is very nice and isolated

Very nice but a LONG walk to the actual beach. Very nicely maintained.

Love this place! There are some beautiful nature trails, kayaking, tours, an information centre and a lovely beach. It costs a little if you plan to park on site but it’s totally worth it to spend a day here.

The state park was great, lots to do and the beach was great

Went to the beach side and it we had a fantastic time. Great whether, and the water was refreshing.

The beach is pretty small but lots of parking. The beach is not out of the world but is definitely a bit more quieter and private. The sand is nice and fine. There is a general entrance fee of $5 pee car from what I know. I love the golf cart that drives you across the walking bridge. Oh they also have kayaking if youre into that. Good beach overall. Nice and quiet to chill.

Beautiful park! Probably the best in the county. Several very nice trails, good secluded beach with nice snorkeling when the water is calm, and kayaking along the bay is pristine. You can kayak to Munyon Island, which has a nice little beach when its not high tide as well as a trail and mangrove channels to kayak through.

Love taking my family here. Its a bit of a walk to the beach. Nature center is great for kids.

Enjoyed a LOW tide & a successful search for sea glassSad amount of washed up trash

Open again, or at least some of it is. Nice place to spend a few hours.
