Summer guide to the best beaches in Palm Beach County

We love our Palm Beach County beaches. And with summer here, it’s time to soak up some sun. With the county’s 45-mile long Atlantic shoreline, there are lots of beautiful beaches to choose.
Here we break down the main attractions and facts on each beach from Tequesta to Boca Raton.

John D. MacArthur State Park

Vital statistics: 438 acres, two miles of unguarded beach, open 8 a.m. to sunset
The main attraction: The only state park in Palm Beach County, MacArthur truly is a local treasure. A 1,600-foot boardwalk carries you from an exhibit-filled nature center to a beach of untamed, abiding beauty. Reef and rock outcroppings in shallow water near the park are a popular destination for snorkelers and scuba divers hoping to see squid, schools of snook, and colorful tropical fish.
Nearby points of interest: No need to leave MacArthur to extend your outing. The park offers nature talks and walks, fish-tank interpretations, performances by bluegrass bands and complimentary kayak lessons.
John D. MacArthur State Park: 11611 Ellison Wilson Rd., Palm Beach Gardens; 561-624-6952
