Ocean Inlet Park Beach
Palm Beach County · South Florida & the Keys
Thirteen acres at Ocean Ridge with a jetty and parking both open 24 hours for fishing and marina access.
ABOUT THIS PLACE
Ocean Inlet Park covers 13.05 acres at Ocean Ridge and guards 600 feet of beach. Its jetty is open around the clock and the parking lot stays open twenty-four hours for recreational fishing and marina access, which is unusual for a county beach that otherwise closes at sunset. There is a playground, restrooms, family picnic shelters and picnic areas with grills. The address is 6990 North Ocean Boulevard, Boynton Beach, and the number is 561-966-6600. The gates run from eight in the morning until 7:30 at night, with fishing on the inlet the exception. Beyond the beach the park has a marina, grass fields, walking trails, kayaking and free parking, and the restrooms have been rebuilt. The marina is being rebuilt in stages. The first, a new seawall, municipal dock and floating day dock, is largely finished; the main floating marina dock had not been started by the middle of 2026, and the county has published no date for it
