South beach Boca Raton

This place was absolutely stunning! The beach, the park, and the people were incredibly friendly. I had such an amazing time and loved every moment of it. The beach is truly breathtaking, and the atmosphere is perfect for families. Believe me, you'll absolutely adore it.

Walking along the beach, particularly during sunset, is a wonderful experience at this location. Additionally, I noticed a multitude of individuals engaged in surfing. Although parking can be challenging to locate near the entrance and pavilion, there is a vast parking lot conveniently situated right next to it.

I had the worst beach experience ever, and I've been to numerous beaches before. After paying $35 just to park for a few hours in the remaining part of the day, you walk through a lovely park area. However, as you reach the beach, you are greeted with the most poorly maintained beach I have ever seen. The seaweed is piled up, partially rotten, and emits a foul smell, with bugs scattered all over it. I understand that seaweed is a natural part of beaches at times, but considering the cost, you would expect better maintenance. Additionally, the beaches are managed by separate entities, so you cannot use your parking pass elsewhere. Therefore, we only spent 20 minutes there before deciding to head to the hotel pool. It's unfortunate that I can't rate them 0 stars, which is what they truly deserve.

I really like this beach, but like most beaches in South Florida right now, there's a lot of seaweed left behind when the tide goes out. The beach isn't very deep and it's quite popular, so you can expect a good number of people throughout the day. Personally, I enjoy the beach during sunrise and sunset because it's quieter. There are lifeguard towers and lifeguards, which helps people feel safer. Parking at the beach is paid and only allows for 1 hour, but there's a paid parking lot just north of the beach on A1A that allows for longer stays. You can also find free parking (up to 4 hours) on the last block of Palmetto Rd before the A1A.

My wife and I enjoy taking a leisurely stroll on this beach on Sunday mornings and then grabbing breakfast. It's the perfect way to spend our Sundays. We have taken pictures on multiple occasions, capturing the beauty of different days.
