The park spans both sides of the land with features on both the Intracoastal Waterway side of A1A and the ocean side with a narrow pedestrian walkway under the bridge on both sides of the inlet. A playground, restrooms, park space and then the "show" of watching boaters try to make their way. It's a tremendous thing to watch as these folks go too slow or too fast against the current and around the small bend to get between the Ocean and the Inlet. Sadly, I've only been able to see them on the Youtube channel as the two boats this morning both chickened out. Still, a fabulous spot to get near the water and beaches.

This review is for the South side of Lake Worth Beach…read more Lake Worth Beach is the closest beach to me, and although I used to mainly only go to Kreusler Park adjacent to this, I have now begun hitting the opposite end, the very South Side of the beach. I park at the City parking pass spots on the bottom parking level, just in front of the grassy little hill, and let my kids run in the grass and climb the trees in the top part while I unload the car. Then we walk a short distance to the very South beach access. This part of the beach is lovely, usually you can walk out really far in the water, no rocks, fish around. The bathrooms are in a little building along here that also has an overhand where people gather when it rains, and the roundabout for pickups/drop offs makes this super convenient. I don't like the fake pigeon squawks, which are really annoying if you're hanging in the picnic area near here under the trees, which is where I usually have my kids eat instead of lugging food down to the beach. And the only 1 shower thing is frustrating, but otherwise, this is a lovely spot!

I have always liked this beach as it is easily accessible. We have been coming here for more than…read more30 years. Although most of the time it's a walk through or stroll by rather than sitting on the beach itself and catching some rays. We had come for lunch across the street from the beach. There several restaurants from which to choose. Dining outside we were able to see everything, smell the sea air and hear the ocean. After lunch, we walked over closer. You walk down stairs at this point to get to the beach. As usual, on a weekend, the area right by the lifeguard station tower was packed. This beach has facilities, showers, picnic areas and grills. It also has the fishing pier. Almost 2 and a half miles of beach on the Atlantic Ocean. It's a great place for locals and tourists. Locals can get annual parking passes. Regular parking is $4 an hour. Unfortunately, the day we came the ocean was rough with rip tides, and jelly fish (eek!), so swimming was being restricted to close by the shore. And this kept us from putting our feet in the water and walking along the beach edge. The lifeguards were doing a good job policing with their whistles to keep folks from venturing too far out in the ocean. We will be back soon.

Yes, it's a lot of names for the same place, but that's the way it is. The restaurant offers full bar drink and a rather good food menu. But best of all, great views of the ocean and the beach. As for the food, drinks and service, I was disappointed by them all. As beach parking and Benny's restaurant parking are the same, parking can be a problem.

I've walked down the pier many times over the years to look out over the ocean. I don't actually…read morerecall paying but there is a fee to walk on the pier as a non-fisher. I came here recently at night on a full moon. There were so many people on the beach, around a drumming circle up on the grass, at the restaurants, and even fishing on the pier. As we walked down the pier, we saw a rocket go off in the sky. Since people are actively fishing, it can be precarious with people casting in the wind and hooks flying about. I can recall walking out during the day and seeing so much sealife from above. A great spot for getting ocean breezes, to chat on the beach but without the sand, with a great view, with a railing that makes it safe for children also, and benches in the middle.

Jewell Cove Natural Area is located across the street from the Lake Worth Municipal Park. It is…read morejust South of the Lake Ave. Bridge along Ocean Ave. on the east side of the Lake Worth Lagoon. This natural area is a maritime hammock which is a natural band of forest that grows on the stabilized back dunes of barrier islands. This natural area is 11.4 acres with 1,200 feet of shoreline on the Lake Worth Lagoon. In February 1967 this land was leased for 99 years to the Milton Steinhardt family. In 2012, Judge Raphael Steinhardt, grandson of Milton Steinhardt relinquished the lease so that the land could be donated to the City of Lake Worth to be enjoyed by the public. This parcel has now been turned into a nature preserve, nine acres of which are submerged so that mangroves and sea grasses can grow. A maritime hammock community makes up another 2 and 1/2 acres. In 2015 and 2016 volunteers removed exotic plants. Fifteen truckloads were removed along with concrete material that had been dumped to prevent erosion. Three thousands tons of limestone were then installed to create a breakwater that prevents erosion and creates a habitat for oysters which filter the water. Clean sand was added and sea grass and mangroves were planted. The mangroves also filter out pollutants and acts as a marine life nursery. The marsh grass breaks up wave energy and provides a wildlife habitat. The Jewell Cove Natural Area serves as a refuge to the animals of the Lake Worth lagoon. This includes osprey, tricolored heron. snowy egret, little blue heron, and white ibis. Plants found here include coralbean, cabbage palm, sea grape, strangler fig, sand cordgrass, green buttonwood, and mangroves. There is a hiking trail through the preserve and you can launch a kayak on the Lake Worth Lagoon but the main benefit of this preserve is to improve the health of the Lake Worth Lagoon ecosystem. In 2019, the commission voted to put on the ballot a 99-year lease on Jewel Cove's 11.4 acres submerged along the Intracoastal and to keep the land on the southeast side of the bridge a natural area. This ensures that the area stays a natural living shoreline, protected by Palm Beach County. The county will not be able to build on the land and it will be maintained as a sanctuary.

We went mid November and the scenery wasn't the best considering it's been dry and hot outside.

Not too many parking spaces, but I don't think that is a dealbreaker considering it's more of an observation area.

I think the amenities here are very good:: long paved walkway with benches, restrooms, shower, oceanfront children's play area, & picnic tables. I noticed more families here with their coolers, chairs, umbrellas, etc. From the highway I can always see the historic Lake Worth Casino building, an icon since the 1920s, adjacent to the park & the beach. It has been converted into a 3,000 sq. ft. ballroom ~ the perfect venue for weddings & other special events. Almost every time I'm there I see someone walk up to the door, read the sign, & then leave, because they think it's still a casino! It anchors a shopping center with restaurants (including pizza & ice cream) & an Olympic-size outdoor Municipal pool, all open to the beach with perfect views.
