Coral Cove Park

I had no idea that rock formations existed like this in South Florida. When you’re so used to flat, flat, flat sand beaches, these rocky cliffs and crags took me by surprise!
We arrived at a ridiculously early hour to catch the sunrise, and it was one of the most gorgeous sights I’ve ever seen. My boyfriend is a photographer and he got some amazing shots! Apparently, he wasn’t the first person to think of this idea — even though it wasn’t overly crowded, there were definitely a few amateur photographers, trying to find the best angle. We found some local food and stayed through the afternoon — what a lovely day!

I was kinda disappointed upon arrival. This beach is great for snorkeling but not if you want to swim. Lots of rocks and holes in the water. No dogs allowed.

Nice beach hike with our group. Perfect weather, nice breeze – plenty of parking at 7:30 am. Jupiter Island is a quiet hidden gem in north Palm beach county. We hiked to blowing rocks preserve, then walked back along Rt 1… pleasant area with very little traffic.

One of the biggest perks of this beach/​park is that it’s generally not very crowded. The crowds tend to hang out a little further south at Juno Beach or Jupiter Inlet.
This is a beautiful park with rocks and blue water. It’s perfect for a nice day at the beach with friends or even by yourself if you’re just trying to kick back and relax and reflect.
It does kind of take a while to get here because traffic can be kind of slow going up A1A, but the views are worth it. This beach isn’t under construction like Jupiter is right now which is part of why I opted to come here instead of going there.
Definitely one of my favorite beaches in the county. Run, don’t walk! Then sit back and enjoy the scenery.

I kind of didn’t want to write this review because I really liked this location a LOT. *Sigh* I can’t keep the good ones to myself though.
Easy spot to find up in Tequesta, which is right on the edge of Jupiter. It’s really close to the Lighthouse too. Lots of parking AND — it’s FREE! It’s hardly ever free the further south you go! I LOVE free parking, don’t you? It was not crowded at all.
This is a beautiful stretch of sand. Surprisingly clear and you can snorkel right along the edge of the beach. The coral is in fairly shallow water.
The limestone formations are amazing. I wanted to take pictures of everything, but unfortunately, it was pouring when we arrived. I didn’t want to risk getting my camera wet if it started raining again.
We weren’t able to stay any longer than about an hour. It stopped long enough for us to play around and collect lots of pretty shells, then it started to rain again, so we made a run for the car at that point and called it a day.
On our way out, we noticed the children’s playground area. It was large and would have been lots of fun if it were not raining. They have lots of picnic tables. There are lifeguards on duty. It was mostly clean. Although, I did pick up a bit of trash off of the ground to throw away.
This stretch of beach is beautiful. I will definitely return sometime in the near future. It’s worth the hour drive from my place. This is a very family friendly beach, so feel free to bring everyone. Check it out if you’re in the area or get an urge to take a short trip.
