    Intracoastal beach
    Melodie M.

    I was looking for a public park with Intracoastal 'beach' access (closer than Phil Foster or Jupiter). I used to think the Intracoastal was beyond disgusting, but in high tide with clearer water, it has its benefits! Especially for children, as the water is calm for swimming, without waves or rip currents or steep shelf drop offs. There is also lots of ocean life near rocks and bridge legs and docks, ripe for finding creatures easy enough for little people to catch. This park has mulptiple parts to it, including a sort-of pier and an Atlantic ocean beachfront, but it also has a part with a small sandy beachfront on the Intracoastal. This has rock piles on both sides, but the waterfront is protected by bouys and goes out pretty far and is very shallow. Great for children and also being able to laze around and cool off and float. The Intracoastal fishing section is far from the swimming section, which is nice. There is also shade here in the form of several covered pavilions with picnic tables as well as actual trees! And best of all, there is a playground that is practically waterfront. This park is under construction in more than 1 part if it, and there is no lifeguard, and a squirrel ate the plastic lid from my sandwich tupperware,and a no swimming sign warns of bacterial infections- but no one heeds this sign at all (and these warnings are often outdated or incorrect). Also there is no ocean breeze or ocean wave sound or ocean horizon view! Last night, a group of folks brought a large speaker on wheels and was blasting it across the park- so loud you couldn't hear yourself talk.

    We discovered this spot of beach the other day after spending the day at delray and just driving at the coast a little bit. On the other side of the road they have a really cool park where you could have access to inter coastal Way and maybe take a kayak. A pleasant family orientated Park. I would love to go back and do some kayaking from there.

    Ok just discovered this gem.... AMAZING time. Love love how private it is. Will definitely be of my favorite spots to go to paddle board and snorkel. Has a cute little park and a pier to fish. Must stop by if in the area.

    Ocean Inlet Park is nestled in the midst of some ultra expensive mansions. These people are so wealthy that they build a second dwelling on the beach side nicer than most peoples houses just to not have to cross the road to use the bathroom back at their mansion. A house on Ocean Blvd is in the 30 million and above range. Don't even think about speeding or stopping here because the area is constantly patrolled by the Manalapan Police. If you are not rolling with the millionaires and billionaires than you will appreciate the ability to use the beach in this park and best of all the parking is free. This park is located on the same real estate that the neighbors are paying millions for. The really cool thing about this 11.39 acre park, besides free parking, is that you can swim in the Intracoastal or or you can cross the street and avail yourself of 600 feet of life guard patrolled beach on the Atlantic Ocean. The Boynton Inlet connects the ocean to the Intracoastal allowing boats to pass through. Other park amenities include a fishing pier, kayak launch, playground, marina, picnic pavilions with grills, restrooms, and a shower. South District Ocean Rescue has their headquarters here. You can fish, snorkel, swim, picnic, and play in this park. Bring your own food and this an affordable family outing for the day. The ability to enjoy both the Intracoastal and the ocean is what makes this park special. Ocean Inlet Park is open every day from sun up to sun down and the marina is open 24 hours a day.

    I've been living in Palm Beach County for years between Boynton Beach and Lake Worth, and not once had I ever visited Ocean Inlet Park until this weekend. After this, I will be coming out more. Having gone to a beach party hosted by one of my friends, Ocean Inlet Park is one of the cooler places to get some rays and enjoy the bathtub-temperature water. It's great to go with friends, families, or by yourself. There's the inlet beach where you the waves aren't as bad as the ocean side, and you can wade in the water and chill. There's at least three pavilions that are first come, first serve -- and you will need to get early if you want to stake claim to one. There's free parking, which is tough to find beaches that don't charge. There's boat docks, BBQ grills, and a playground for the kids. If you're into kayaking, you can definitely bring yours to the inlet and head up and down the inter-coastal. Having made my first proper visit to this beach, I will be returning with friends for more. I'm not a beach person, but I do like coming to Ocean Inlet.

    This is such a beautiful park with water access to the intercoastal. It is a perfect place to have a party, family gathering, or just a quiet place for some alone time. There is no charge to enter the parking lot eventhough there is a guard house at the entrance. For parking, there are a few options. One area is near the intercoastal beach, one area is for people who want to walk over to the Atlantic side of the beach, and the other area is where the people park who go fishing from the seawall or the inlet pier. I enjoy going to all three areas. The beach is nice for shelling and taking a long walk along the shoreline. I also like to go out on the pier to watch the boats go in and out of the inlet. Crazy to watch it during really rough, windy weather when the chop is more than 8 feet. This is really a cool place to take some nature pictures as there are birds and other creatures near the mangroves. The rocks also make a good backdrop. I don't have a boat but if I did, this seems like a good place to keep it for easy intercoastal usage.

    I would not recommend these folks. I paid for a 4-hour trip, in full, but we couldn't go out…read morebecause of high winds. Now they don't respond to my requests to reschedule. Nothing. I went out with this company earlier in the year. Had a nice morning on the water with Capt. Mati, a great guy who seemed to know what he was doing even though we didn't catch anything. I was looking forward to going back out with them, but now this. What is wrong with people? JC from Palm Beach

    Very very disappointed in this company.....for anyone traveling out of state - BE AWARE! This…read morecompany is NOT reliable at all. I booked this trip a month and a half in advance due to an Instagram post and their 5 star reviews. I talked to the owner on the phone and shared that we had four small children and four adults. I was told the boat held 10 people. We discussed going to peanut island and everything seemed great. I showed up on the day of departure (with all of our food and drinks)...was allowed to board the boat only to find out they booked us for a captain who was only allowed to charter six people. After several phone calls, we were told we had to get off the boat or leave two people behind. Obviously having two families - we didn't have the option of kicking two people off! They agreed to refund our money but ruined our Memorial Day weekend plans of enjoying a boat!! It might not seem like a big deal - but explaining this to four small kids....it's heartbreaking. I thought someone would at least reach out with an apology of some sorts....as this was beyond ridiculous and even sent a message hoping for some type of explanation- NOTHING! At this point, I just want to save another family from booking a charter with them - especially if they are here for a few days as you can't trust this company to be responsible enough to actually take you out on the boat! More importantly, the owner could care less about making things right or extending a simple apology. If I was able to give zero stars- I would! Again! Be very very careful in choosing this company - they are completely unreliable and more importantly, don't care at all to extend an apology or attempt to explain!

    Very knowledgeable guides! I'm an avid fisher but not for offshore, I learned a lot! Though I…read moredidn't get the exact species I was wanting to get, it was a beautiful day and couldn't have asked for a better, and fought my first wahoo and caught my first Kingfish (and in a kayak which was super cool!) Fishing is fishing (not called catching) but we didn't get skunked, and any day of being on the water and fishing is better than any day working! I will definitely be out with them again to catch some more! And I got my dad (60yrs old) to go out with me and he had a blast, he was scared about it at first thinking he wouldn't be able to keep up and being on open water, but he wants to go out again he had such a fun time!

    These guys are great. You never know what to expect when you go fishing especially on a Kayak! This…read morewas my first time fishing off shores in a kayak. Deep Blue was great! They supply the gear, the Kayak and the knowledge to put you on the pelagic fish! Caught a nice size king fish, Mahi, a mutton snapper (was a bit too small and we caught it on accident fishing for more blue runner bait) and even lost a fish that slammed my bait and made a huge splash. Unfortunately he cut my line. Kayak fishing is the ultimate experience in fishing. If you want to try it, these are the guys to go with. Thanks Deep Blue for the memories and the fun!
