Fun Facts
South Beach Park in Boca Raton is distinct from Miami's South Beach — it's a smaller, family-oriented barrier island beach with a quieter atmosphere.
The park sits between the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Boca Raton Inlet, offering both ocean swimming and calm inlet fishing.
Sea turtle nesting season (May–October) brings loggerhead and green turtles to lay eggs along this stretch of beach at night.
The park's concession stand is a local institution, known for serving fresh coconut water straight from the shell.
Seasonal Events
Sea Turtle Nesting Walks

Boca Raton Air Show

Visitor Tips
Arrive before 9am on weekends to secure parking — the lot fills quickly. The pier is a fantastic spot for watching pelicans dive. Lifeguards are on duty seasonally.
