What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Lake Worth Beach Park and Pier is a beloved spot offering a classic Florida beach experience with a vibrant pier and beachfront dining. Visitors praise the clear waters, the opportunity for wildlife spotting, and the convenience of amenities like lifeguards and accessible pathways. However, parking can be challenging and costly on busy days, and some dining options are considered pricey.
"My wife and I spent the afternoon here on June 20, 2025 (a Thursday) while on a camping trip at the nearby John Prince Park County Campground. At this very nice facility, there are two large pay-by-the-hour parking lots, an old "casino" building along the promenade that looks at the beach, a municipal pool, nice restrooms with outdoor showers, a nice concrete-built fishing pier that extends out off the beach about 200 yards, and a paved boardwalk along the top of the dune line that's about half a mile long. The hourly rate to park here was $3 per hour and you will need the Park Mobile App on your phone to use it. We also rented two beach chairs and a sun umbrella from the local vendor for $16 per hour. There are two or three lifeguard stands along the beach. The water here is very clear because the Gulf Stream is less than a mile offshore and the water temperatures was a delightfully refreshing 80 degrees during our visit. The day we went, there was a stiff breeze, so the water was somewhat choppy and a lot of seaweed was pushing ashore from the waves. It looked like the county or city (park owners) use a tractor to rake the beach each morning to keep the seaweed from clogging the beach up, and that was good because many other beaches we stopped at along the Palm Beach County coastline did not have this service. There are also two very good, but somewhat pricey restaurants located here, Benny's on the Pier, and Benny's Oceanside that we checked out. See my separate reviews on those. Since we went on a Thursday, there was plenty of available parking, but I would imagine on the weekends that this beach and parking lot get very crowded because of the large population and density of people that live in surrounding Palm Beach County. That said, if you do come on the weekend, or on the weekdays during the snowbird season (Nov - Apr) when the population of the county doubles, you should plan to get there early in the morning to ensure you can find parking."

"Such a great beach spot. It has the pier to fish off of, or just have a peaceful walk, a delicious restaurant with a full bar, lifeguards on duty and decent parking with an easy walk. Wheelchair accessible, with a nicely paved beach front path. Kids play area before the beach and a covered pavilion."

"It's awesome here great food the pizza is TDF Z the workers are all friendly and little less NY and more southern hospitality. The casino Beach lives uo to it's name you airways win when you come. They're lovely people giving away pamphlets about mormonism. There's a great bar in Benny's on the beach a real Jem if you haven't been. In fact I believe they have anee sushi tasting menu for only $55/11 courses i think. It's a great deal. Everything they supervise is awesome!! My favorite is the Acia fresh peanut butter breakfast bowl.its delicious and they run out because they only prrp what's going to be eaten. The View is excellent and you can even walk the pier after your meal. The other ships sell local clothing and the corner restaurant is also good but a bit pricy I 🤔 if I remember correctly (,i only had it once) ,mine was very enjoyable although small cut of fish. They have showers clean bathrooms great kept beaches and the wildlife is world 🌎 class. Ive seen many nurse sharks bulls and even a hammer head. Not to mention the enormous regal Marine Turtles what a treat to have this wonderful place in my back yard. Please don't miss Lake Worth Beach. It's still out of the normal path of vacationers so it's slightly more quit.(soon to change I'm sure) meet me there every morning 🌄 thanks for reading
