Lake Worth Beach conditions

A fishing pier and the historic Casino beach complex.

Lake Worth Beach is in Palm Beach County, Florida, on the Atlantic coast.

Lake Worth Beach charges through a metered lot right at the pier, with restrooms nearby for the day. Lifeguards work the beach seasonally. Palm Beach is six miles north and Delray Beach about eleven miles south, the two nearest beaches on Coasti's map. The Casino building went up in 1922, and the name has outlived the slot machines by nearly a century.

Where these readings come from

Weather and marine forecasts come from the National Weather Service at Palm Beach Intl (KPBI).

Red tide readings come from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission monitoring map.

Red tide at Lake Worth Beach

Karenia brevis blooms concentrate on Florida's Gulf coast far more than its Atlantic side, so Lake Worth Beach sees red tide only as a rare exception. Florida's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission samples the whole state, keeping this beach on its map regardless. See today's statewide red tide status.

Common questions

Is Lake Worth Beach safe for swimming today?

That depends on the flag and the surf, and both change through the day. Coasti shows the posted lifeguard flag when a current one exists, and estimates from surf, wind and rip-current risk when it does not. Today's answer for Lake Worth Beach loads at the top of this page.

Does Lake Worth Beach have lifeguards?

Lake Worth Beach has lifeguards in season. Outside those months no flag is posted, and no flag flying does not mean the water is safe.

Parking at Lake Worth Beach is paid. Metered lot at the pier. Fees and lot hours change, so check locally before you go.

Are dogs allowed at Lake Worth Beach?
