An elegant, quiet beach in famously upscale Palm Beach.
Palm Beach is in Palm Beach County, Florida, on the Atlantic coast.
Palm Beach keeps parking scarce, with only a limited number of metered spots near the sand. Lifeguards are posted in season, and restrooms serve the main access. Lake Worth Beach sits about six miles south, and Jupiter Beach about sixteen miles north, the two nearest stops on Coasti. Worth Avenue's shopping blocks end just inland of the oceanfront.

Amenity details are Coasti's own notes and can go out of date. Fees, lifeguard seasons and dog rules are set locally.
Flags run from green for low hazard to double red for water closed — see what each flag color means.
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 events on Palm Beach's Atlantic sand are rare, well outside the pattern of Gulf coast blooms that Karenia brevis follows most years. FWC samples the entire state, so this beach is included on the monitoring map anyway. See today's statewide red tide status.
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 Palm Beach loads at the top of this page.
