Coastal Kelly has found there is much to offer families who love outdoor activities at Jupiter’s Palm Beaches. We have created this list of the best family-friendly beaches in Palm Beach County.
Coral Cove Park
With over 2,600 feet of beach frontage, Tequesta’s Coral Cove Park offers a family-friendly adventure full of amenities.
Picnic areas containing grills and tables are free to use for everyone. As well as the picnic area, Coral Cove contains a playground for children 5-12 years of age, restroom facilities, showers, and parking. The park is pet friendly asking that dogs be kept on a leach no greater than six feet. Saltwater fishing is permitted outside the designated guarded swimming areas.
Marine life offers hours of enjoyment for snorkelers. Just a few short distance offshore lie water-carved rock formations harboring a plethora of sea life. The Intracoastal Waterway across the street provide calmer waters at depths more suitable for younger children.
