Stroller friendly Restrooms

Palm Beach County's only state park: a long boardwalk over the estuary to an unspoiled beach, nature center, kayak rentals, and snorkeling on calm days.

Why kids love it

The estuary boardwalk is a built-in adventure walk, and older kids can kayak or snorkel the rocky reef just offshore.
