One of my favorite beach spots! People maintain distance, its clean, great scenery and the reefs are nice to look at. However, Ive seen many people standing on them and it makes me sad because that can damage them. I dont see anyone stopping them.

If you want to swim with Sea Turtles and other marine life, the reefs here are gorgeous! I shot one of my absolute best sellers here! Sea Turtle swimming with a Shark!

My favorite park to visit when I come back home to see my family. Picnic tables and BarBQ grills. Restrooms and showers for rinsing off the salt water and beach sand. Always a kind Riviera Beach Deputy to watch out for beach goers. Life guards, too.

Got to see a manatee up close it came by me. TOTALLY awesome. Like this park they keep it clean. Great place to take the family and enjoy picking up seashells or building sandcastles. They always have really nice life guards too. Plus the people.are friendly met this beautiful lady who was on vacation and she told me how she loves this beach and she was the one who pointed out it was a manatee by me.

The beaches on Singer Island are simply amazing. Not too many people, clean, and lots of amazing ocean life to see if you swim up and down the island. There are many large rocks near the shore so this is a great place to snorkel and see some cool wildlife! If you are there in August, you can even see baby turtles hatch all along the beach.

Its very cozy spot on the beach with dunes and Florida native palms and trees! The views are just astonishing. The ocean has some coral remains that attract different kinds of fishes. Get yourself some snorkelling experience.

Great little area for snorkeling. There is a big rocky area you can walk on during low tide and snorkel to see fish. Saw a sting ray, snook, and all sorts of reef fish. Be careful of the fire coral though!

St
Review №18

This is a really great beach in Palm Beach County to go to at sunrise and if you get lucky enough... you might get to see some turtles hatching. It’s also a great park and a great beach. I have been coming here for 20 years or so and I absolutely love this Beach. When others are full of seaweed this one is not. The water is always crystal clear and there are rocks for snorkeling that are beautiful. Great for Turtle watching too. I have two videos shot on this beach. Look at pictures for link. I highly recommend.

Its a nice beach park. Its early morning or late afternoon is the best time if you wanna take your dogs there.

Review №22

We loved this beach the water is so pretty. Its very rocky is some areas so swimming may not be the best near the rocks but there are safer areas to swim away from the rocks. My children loved the rocks and the water splashing over the rocks. This is a beautiful florida beach unlike no other its a much see for sure!

Review №23

Great park and beach. Nice little reef close to shore thats nearly always teeming with sea life. Excellent place to introduce children and beginning swimmers to snorkeling.

St
Review №24

Great park. Entrance to beach has left all the indigenous trees and plants. The boardwalks wind through the vegetation and provide wheelchair access. Wide beach. Two separate reef systems provide excellent snorkeling. The reefs set this park apart from most all of our other ocean parks.

This is a lovely park and beach. Beautiful views of the reef and fish/wildlife. I have been frequenting this beach for about 3 years now and its one of my favorites. Clean park grounds, great lifeguards, showers, decent restrooms. Ive swam with nurse sharks here seen huge tarpon (sorry for spelling) large beautiful iguanas in the trees. Great place for family and friends. Just all around great place. I highly suggest checking it out. Good places to eat nearby as well. Or even stay in one of the beach front hotels.

Overall Nice Florida beach Free parking, clean restrooms, sand is very hot in the summer and it is a long walk from parking lot to the ocean. There’s lots of rocks in it can be dangerous.

This place is a gem! Very unique beach! Either get there before 8, or go after 2 PM. Parking can be difficult to find. The current can be a little strong for small kids, and theres lots of rocks, but crystal clear water!

They have a section of the beach cut off with cones and marked as private property next to the park. I didnt know they could do that.

Review №68

Lovely beach, easy access. Clean and not too crowded. If water is clear, a swim with a snorkel mask around the reef is worthwhile if not spectacular.

Ocean Reef - a great place to relax and enjoy the Florida coast. First time I went, there was quite a bit of garbage strewn about, but it looks like that has been taken care of. Lots of folks enjoying the beach on their Winter and Spring Breaks. Recommend.

Review №84

Great little public beach. The lifeguards were very helpful in explaining their rules if you take the time to talk to them instead of just ignoring them. The water is beautiful and refreshing, the turtle mounds were a great natural bonus as well. There is quite a bit of seaweed though, but that only helps to keep the various wildlife happy and healthy.

J.
Review №85

Such a beautiful beach. The swimming area is lifeguarded. At the south end theres a reef with tons of fish. To the north the beach has limestone rocks to fish off. One can also enjoy watching the ocean waves crash against them. Theres also a playground by the parking lot. Overall, this particular beach has a lot to offer.

As
Review №86

Lots of parking clean beach.

Review №87

Wonderful beach...parking was free not sure if due to Columbus or Indigenous Peoples Day. Outdoor shower available to remove sand before going back to car. Bathrooms are also by the entrance. Lifeguards are available until 5ish. Water was rough today (1 red flag) due to rip tides around part of the beach. Nonetheless one couldve enjoyed the water to a certain extent. People were fishing and surfing. Water isnt very salty and a great place to collect sea shells. I would love to visit when the conditions are better.
