Add some speed to your day with a nearby Intracoastal rental or guided ride.

Swim in the designated area near an on-duty lifeguard at Lake Worth Beach Park. Ask Ocean Rescue about current surf conditions and permitted surfing areas; the ocean is not a calm-water paddling alternative. Anglers can check access, fees and fishing rules with the municipal pier before visiting.
Check wind, tides, lightning forecasts and posted warnings. Wear a properly fitted life jacket when paddling, carry water and sun protection, and tell someone your route. Strong wind can make even the lagoon unsuitable for beginners.
