ABOUT THIS PLACE

Coral Cove is a 9.58-acre county park on the Tequesta shore, and its shape is what makes it useful. Six hundred feet of the beach is guarded, and a further 2,010 feet runs unguarded to the south, reached by dune crossovers rather than from the parking lot. There is parking, restrooms, picnic areas with grills and a playground built for children aged five to twelve. The address is 19450 State Road 707, Tequesta, and the county lists the park at close to fifteen acres, with six hundred feet of Intracoastal frontage on the far side as well as the ocean. What sets the swimming apart is the rock: the limestone outcrops here are part of the Atlantic Coastal Ridge and they break the surf and leave tide pools between them, holding fish, eels, sea turtles and small sharks. Snorkeling and saltwater fishing are both permitted and the shelling is good. There are outdoor showers. Pets are not allowed and the county asks visitors not to feed the wildlife
