Lake Worth Beach Casino Building

The Lake Worth Beach Casino Building is a historic 1920s Mediterranean Revival landmark on the oceanfront. There has never been gambling here in modern times; today the restored building holds restaurants, shops and a ballroom used for weddings and events, overlooking Lake Worth Beach.

Parking and getting there

From downtown, drive or bike east across the Lake Avenue bridge to the barrier island. Paid parking lots surround the Casino Building; they fill up quickly on weekends and holidays, so arrive early.

Swimming and safety

City Ocean Rescue lifeguards staff the beach during the day. Check the colored warning flags, swim near a lifeguard stand and watch for rip currents.

Food and facilities

Restaurants inside and beside the Casino Building, restrooms, outdoor showers, picnic areas and a playground make it an easy full-day beach.
