Ocean Blvd Walk, Lake Worth

Palm Beach, FL Print   Leave a comment

Description

If you need some fresh, fresh air straight off the ocean, come for a walk along Ocean Blvd. Here you find a paved path that runs for four miles on the west side of the boulevard. In the early morning, there is shade from the buildings, and in the late afternoon there is shade from the trees. Many happy people enjoy this walk, though it is not overly crowded and it's easy to give them lots of space because you can walk on the grass next to the path.
You pass some sweet views of mangroves on the intracoastal, little islands and mansions in the distance, a golf course with seagrape tree clusters, and lush palm tree jungles at condo entrances.
You can park for free for two hours at Phipps Ocean Park (free all year except June-Sept). Start your walk there, heading north until the path ends and then head south for as long as you want. It's nice to take a look at the gorgeous ocean after your walk.
This walk is on Palm Beach island, from a little north of Phipps Ocean Park to Lantana Beach.
