AlcoholNot allowed

Alcohol is banned in all areas of the park, not just on the sand.

Fires & grillsNot allowed

Bonfires of any size are not permitted on Palm Beach County beaches at any time of year.

DronesAllowed

Recreational drones are allowed at this park, which is not on the county's list of drone-restricted parks. Commercial drone photography needs a permit.

FishingDepends, by area

Fishing is confined to the park's pier and two fishing platforms on the west side. It is barred from the swimming area and the boat ramps and docks.

Amplified musicAllowed

There is no specific ban on music or radios; the park is subject to the county's general nuisance noise rule instead of a flat ban.

Metal detectingNot allowed

Metal detecting is banned countywide by the parks ordinance, which protects park ground from being dug up or removed.
