There is little sand left on portions of the beach, and most of the entrances are closed since the stairs are gone. Lake Worth beach (1 mi south) is still ok.

Great amenities, picnic benches and spacious parking lot, all adds up to a great day out at the beach. There is easy access to the beach at a point at which I understand there is a lifeguard. Necessary given the unpredictable rip currents in this area.

We do love this beach park for a picnic. There is always convenient parking, maybe because of its fairly hefty parking fee, but worth it if you want a less crowded beach. The park is lovely, with great old trees, barbecue pits, and plenty of shade. This part of the beach is quite rocky, though, so be sure to bring... More

We have been going to Phipps Beach for years. It is a quiet, peaceful place to sit in your beach chair and enjoy the ocean.

This is a great beach to visit, especially if you go earlier in the day (around 10:00am) because there is barely anyone else there. They also have free parking at the back of the parking lot (free for 2 hours between the hours of 8am and noon). Lifeguards are super friendly too! The rocks that someone else posted about are...

It's pretty clear that Palm Beach does not want "outsiders" visiting their shores. This is one of the two municipal beaches in this locale. One doesn't even have public restrooms. Phipps has restrooms and lifeguards, so that's good. But when you get there you'll see the markings of a place that Palm Beach ignores when it comes to grooming and... More

This park is easy to miss -- even locals don't know about it. The beach is tucked behind tennis courts, but has nice picnic areas and bathrooms, and if you are there in the morning there are some free parking spaces in the front of the lot. Not a lot of playground/playing field space. Nice shady picnic tables and grills.

Beautiful picturesque,ocean front, beach - very private, and quiet. If you enjoy a quiet walk on the beach, enjoy sun bathing, or a good read, this is the best beach oceanfront park in Palm Beach! The park offers restrooms, great parking, and lots of trees, sand dunes, and picnic areas. Reminds you of the islands! A must see for travelers... More
