Absolutely beautiful location! The person collecting the park fee was extremely helpful and friendly. We were there in off season so no crowds at all. Snorkeling was not the greatest on this specific day. The sea was a bit rough. There was not a huge variety of types of fish seen but there were lots of fish!

Phil Foster is a great place to dive, snorkel, swim, spend the day with the family. High tide was over 4 feet today which is exceptionally rare! Check out the photos I posted.

FL really values their state parks and this one was no different. Snorkeling and diving are awesome here. Try near and under the bridge to feel like youre in a aquarium. Best part is that you can let the current take you and still have the same parking spot because of how their lot is structured. And they have a lifeguard to make sure the snorkelers and divers dont accidentally get in the boat channel :-)

Awesome place to come for our first ocean dive. Easy for parking, social distancing ensures we’re in place and the location felt safe to leave my car while underwater. One of my favorite sites and can’t wait to come back.

Neat place, lots to offer! Cool swimming spot, better scuba diving spot! Lots to see underwater. Fishing looks decent on the other side of the park and the boat ramp looks good to. Makes me wish I brought the boat!

This is an awesome place to snorkel! I wish we had more reefs like this that are as accessible as this one around.

So, I heard this was a great place to walk off and dive. I went early to check it out and it was packed. So I came back the next day much earlier. It was so worth it. I only snorkeled this time. Had fun and met a few new friends.

It is our first time at Phil Foster Memorial. We felt in love with it. If you’re planing to come here, I highly recommend you to bring your snorkel gear. Also look for the high tide schedule.All the fishes that came over were so beautiful.I saw a lot of people enjoying with their family, as well some scuba divers.We saw such an abundance of fishes and sea life.I live in Orlando and I can guarantee we will be back for more!!!!PS: use lots os sun screen, make sure you apply trough out you body. As you can see on the pictures what happens if you do not use it.Enjoy!!!

Cons: Too much gasoline and oil from all the boats, very dark water, lots of litter on the beach, and the sand is kitty litter like consistency. Pros: Free parking, lots of shade from the bridge, lifeguards, very calm water, no waves, some wildlife.

Very beautiful views of the many Boats docking and Intracoastal Water...Starfish in water,Pelicans, nice spot for swimming under bridge. Some picnic Tables to sit at. A few questionable people around but mostly still real nice to walk and enjoy being by the Water. Lifeguard under bridge. Lotta free parking.

Great spot for swimming and snorkeling. The artificial reef is fun and there are a lot of fish to see. The current does get strong with the change of the tide, so plan accordingly. The location is nice because of the shade provided by the bridge.

Great little beach on the intercostal. Plenty of shade, playground and awesome snorkeling

From 1st time snorkeling to experienced diver, the Snorkeling Trail is a perfect way to enjoy Floridas sea life.I highly recommend the park.

Calm and clear water great for Snorkeling, however make sure there is no rain 3 to 4 days before going otherwise water may be murky.

Terrific boat ramp facility and 90% of the time plenty of trailer parking. If its full you can go to lake park and launch for $10.

Excellent and convenient dive location. Beautiful underwater reef! I saw a goliath grouper under the bridge.

Might be the best spot to snorkel in palm beach county. Lots of different areas to explore and tons of sealife. Make sure to show up an hour before the peak of high tide for maximum water clarity or else youll be swimming through pea soup.

Love the cover of the bridge. Kiddos had a good time

Great snorkeling. Go at high tide for best visibility and least current. Swim out to the perimeter of the non boater area and youll find sculptures and coral gardens with plenty of sea life. If you want to snorkel under the bridge bring a flag for safety.

This is the view from under the bridge. They have structures below that you can snorkel to, but its gotta be sunny and high tide to have good visibility while snorkeling on top. There are always a bunch of dive and snorkel tours going on too. Not my fave in the area, but it is a major attraction bc of the structures below water. The restrooms are atrocious, do not use.

Nice shaded beach if thats your thing, or if youre like me, the shallow SCUBA diving is great too!

Had a great time. Lots to check out,alot of divers in the water, good current.

Shady beach great for kids with big playground and lifeguards. Very very busy with kids on the weekend. Also great scuba diving spot. Parking can be an issue at high tide.

The park was really fun for snorkeling, swimming, and scuba diving! Lots of people there, when we arrived in the late morning. Water was a bit murky from a storm that passed the weekend before, so it was a little difficult to see the different animals on the ocean floor, but the experience was still great! They could do a little better at keeping the beach clear of trash from visitors.

Shady beach under the intercoastal bridge. Calm waters are great for littles. Snorkel/scuba area just off shore is teaming with sea life.

Very enjoyable! Great for kids. Calm water smaller beach.

Lovely surprise. Parking was easy to get to and water was nice. Great place to take kids to learn how to snorkle. Bring your own food and supplies; no grocery store after you get off bridge but there is a publix right before. Didnt see a whole lot of trash but bins in lot would have been a good thing.

This place is awesome for little kids, and snorkeling! Got some amazing pictures! A word to the wise, get there before 9 am....parking is VERY limited. You will want a mask and snorkel, and water shoes or fins! Definitely worth bringing an underwater camera....as you can see its beautiful there! They also allow divers, and youll see many there, but you dont need tanks. A snorkel and mask will be fine...

Relaxing. Nice change from the Ocean parks.

Nice park with a bridge - snorkeling, beach, shade, choppy waters. Low visibility on account of the bay.

Great Park for the family. My kids love to swim in lake worth lake and the beatyful senic park. The view is amazing!

Enjoyed spending time exploring the area. Looking forward to going back with more time. Great place to snorkel. If you go out to the center you can see the statues. Plenty of picnic areas.

Its a beautiful and safe beach. Well maintained but there are quite a few homeless camp sites under the bridge. But the homeless dont usually bother anyone nor ask for handouts.

Not sure about the park but the shore dive is great. Easy access to water and shower to rinse gear.

Nitrox dive. Max depth 20>25 ft. Picked up a few bottles ref ocean conservation. Good visibility, just gotta watch out for free divers/snorkelers in the area. Gotta hit the water during hight tide to avoid murky water

The water is so clear! Lots of scuba divers and jet sking. Love it

Pros: incredible snorkeling along a man made underwater trail, snorkeling close(ish) to the beach so less experienced swimmers can still participate.Cons: beach is meh compared to the nearby beaches such as Riviera Beach which is gorgeous, some homeless people living on the beach and under the bridge there which makes one a little worried about leaving things on the beach while snorkeling, quite a bit of garbage around, not a super well kept area.Overall, though, the park is well worth a visit if you enjoy snorkeling.

The parking on a Saturday afternoon is nearly impossible and heavily monitored by local authorities.The diving is pretty easy only 10-20ft deep with cool underwater features that gather tropical fish.Basic species like mangrove snapper, sheepshead, angelfish, mullet.There is an environment of some people that maybe dealing illegal items, but thats life.

Calm and crystal clear water. Amazing for kids. Just be patient to find a parking lot

Its a great place to hang out and dive! It is a great spot for new divers to come and get the hang of their skills. It is shallow, but beautiful and a lot to see. When you are done, you can just go chill on the beach and snorkel.

I go for kayaking. Its a great place to launch.

Good places to do snorkeling and scuba. They have a protected area with artificial reefs full of marine life. Many species of animals around. About 10 feets deep

Always a great local spot for swimming,diving picnics, fishing and launching any water crafts.Best time of course is High tide.Did I mention its free except for parking your trailers.

Great place to snorkel or dive. Not a large beach.

Its a beautiful gem in the middle of Palm Beach. If youre visiting from out of state, its definitely a place to check out.

Cool snorkeling! Have to go 1 hr b4 high tide to get the best views and clarity of water.

Amazing snorkeling trail. Awesome clarity

Snorkeling the blue heron bridge is so fun. Make sure you go at high tide for the best clarity.

Beautiful location for diving snorkeling and swimming - protected parking - 2 lifeguard station - shallow water with man made patch reef for aquatic life

Great place to drop a boat or kayak in the water. Plenty of trailer parking. Very close to Peanut Island.

Good place to bring a friend if you have any loyal ones? Free parking and excellent snorkeling trail. Pretty good place to watch the sunset.

Its peaceful relaxing and fun for family get together

The best..beautiful. You can see Star fish all kind of fishes..very relax

This place is everything great about Florida. Gorgeous water, beautiful beaches, clean beaches and quiet. When the tide goes out you can see all sorts of sea life. Nurse sharks, giant sea stars, fish and sting rays. There is a play groudn right next to it. Picnic areas and boat loading area. Will be spending a majority of our summer here. Love it.

A very nice clean place to launch. The water always looks soo clear. The ramps are not very steep even at low tide however there is always more than foot to two feet under my drive. The facilities are clean and well kept. Very busy on the weekend’s. One of my favorites!

Great Park. Lots of shade. Calm waters. Free parking. Life gaurds. Beautiful viewm

Great place. My dogs loves it and people are friendly. Bless

Phil Foster park is amazing for locals and tourists. Free parking, boat launch and in shore diving, snorkeling and just beaching it. My Islands Adventure charter can take you fishing, snorkeling Peanut Island or cruising around, right from Phil Foster. High tide is the most beautiful time of the day! Best day on the water!- First Mate AshleyMy Islands Adventure charter with Captain Tim Hoban

Enjoyed being able to sit under the bridge out of the sun.Nice place to visit to swim and boat watchAlso has picnic tables, restrooms and grills to useWill be back next time we’re in town

This is a very peaceful park with plenty of little fishing spots and places to just sit back and chill. I totally enjoyed myself walking along the trails and people watching.

Great place to snorkel or just enjoy the water

I love coming here l with my daughter its very private & close. Yet she can still swim at close watch. I also come for PEACE to just sit & think sometimes. Watch all the beautiful Yachts & Boats pass by HEY ITS A (FLORIDA GIRL) THING

Parking is horrendous. But the beach and water are top notch. People were friendly. Party of space once you find parking. The snorkeling and diving are spectacular. Put it on ur list

Great place for snorkeling lots of sea life and a sunken speed boat

Great calm waters and perfect for kids. Not too deep and enough space and sand to build sand castles

Awesome experience! Nice snorkeling and shelling near the reefs!

Very cool place to lay back and enjoy the great day

Great hidden beach, sssssh dont tell anyone lol

Shallow, clear water, lots of space, tons of life. Whats not to love? The parking gets difficult, but where can you see so much in a shore dive? There are picnic tables, bathrooms, and outdoor showers. Bring a camera, youll need it.

Everything is perfect except the bathrooms, I have never seen or smelled anything more repulsive in my life.

Beautiful! Great place to start your day. Very relaxing.

Nice place. Snorkeling trail had lots of tropical fish and a little bit of coral. Sheltered swimming area but less than 5 minute walk to singer island beach and bars. Lots of boatsto look at if youre just sitting on the beach and can get in the shade under bridge if its too hot

Free parking, boat ramp, clean beach and water.

Pro Great swimming, snorkeling, and park environment, Con limited parking, gets packed quickly.

We stopped here for an afternoon to do some snorkeling on our way north. It has a small beach area, with pretty views of the harbor and hotels. It is nice that the snorkeling is right there at the beach. It was not the best snorkeling ever, but we did see some fish, starfish, and some other small sea creatures amongst the man made reef. We would definitely stop here again.

Best boat ramp in South Florida for transporters. High Tide? Low Tide? Doesnt matter... Big boat? Little Boat? Doesnt matter. This ramp is perfection!

You can go in the water do some fishing picnic tables for barbecue playground boat ramp free parking

Great park, great snorkeling and free parking.

We went diving today 12/05/18 we were there at low tide about 12:50 pm the air was 78 and the water was 74 it was very wind we had visibility of about 10--20 when we first got in the water by the time we got out the wind had picked up and vis. Was 10 feet at the most here are some pictures. Thanks for looking

Great place for snorkeling. The beach was kinda trashy but plentiful parking and easily accessible.

The fishing was great. Safe place to and relax.

Great place to snorkel and swim. We also launched our paddleboard there and paddled around Peanut Island. Great day

Lots of cool stuff to see with the Harris Foundation sunken items.

Some of the best snorkeling in FL!I took my family for a picnic and a swim, I wanted to test out my new full face snorkel mask... but I was blown away with how much activity was in the water, lots of sea life!There are even little outdoor showers to rinse off. Bring your own towels and gear, but what a nice place to swim when high tide is coming in.

This has been a fun place for us lately. My husband is a lover of snorkeling and this is the best place around for that. Can park for free and they do have a shower and public bathroom for use. Very baby friendly as you sit under the bridge in the shade!

Love diving and snorkeling here. Have come here several times since moving to Florida. Very nicely maintained park with very little trash and they have facilities available for rinsing off. Definitely a must-see site if you are in the area

Parking is generally not a focus. You always find that cars, no boat or trailer parked in spaces that are specifically for boat trailersWhich should be addressed as well as the way some trailers are over lines making it impossible for others to park and enjoy the same thing.

Good snorkeling, but dirty beach area. Yuk.

This is our favorite place to go for a quick snorkel or out with the kids. Youre not getting racked by waves, the snorkel line is easy to get to, you get to look at sailboats and the water is usually pretty clear. Theres a public restroom, people are nice and youre a hop and a skip away from lots of good eats.

Love it peace and relaxation

The best snorkeling and shore diving in the entire state of Florida, and now its protected!!!

Great zone for fishing, and a wonderful variety of fish

Awesome. Ranger was helpful. Gave us tons of info. People were swimming and diving. snorkling? Did it at peanut island but looked deep and rougher here. U need a dive flag. Nice park. Could maybe get a little sketchy at night? Looked like good fishing with plenty of space. Loved it.

The park is nice, very well kept. Great place to go fishing.

We planned to dive BHB as an afterthought while staying in the area, but after our boat dives were cancelled, we did two days of BHB diving and we LOVED IT! This place really is a national treasure, as it is free to dive and has both a large wealth of macro and megafauna.Right from the get-go we started seeing amazing creatures in the sandy bottom: juvenile angelfish, pufferfish, triggerfish, and spotted drums, beautifully colored sea slugs, Decorator crabs, arrow crabs, coral shrimp, pipefish, sharpnose eel, moray eel, Comb and Moon jellies, many types of worms, blennies galore, garden eels, stingray, toadfish, lizardfish/stargazers, scorpionfish, nudibranch, as well as a host of other life that I have never seen before and don’t know how to categorize. Oh yeah...we also got a pleasant manatee flyby!

Easy access to the inlet and intracoastal waterway spots to fish with or with out a boat

Another great Palm Beach County free park.

This place is very cool for scuba, snorkeling or just hanging out on the beach. Ive been here several times to get used to new gear or bring less experienced divers. Nice controlled place to dive with lifeguards on duty.

I love this park!! You can bbq, fish and go for a swim! Very clean!

Beautiful park! Water was crystal clear!
