Lake Worth Beach
An easygoing enclave worth discovering
With “Lake and Beach” in its name, it’s a sure bet that Lake Worth Beach offers all the water-soaked fun you’re after on a Florida vacation. This seven-square-mile city is wedged between some of the most action-packed waterways in The Palm Beaches, and its revitalized downtown has its own distinct charms worth discovering.
The palm-dotted streets of downtown Lake Worth Beach are lined with eclectic boutiques, art galleries, antiques stores and restaurants with plenty of local flavor. Quaint bed-and-breakfasts are tucked into quiet side streets, and there’s even a historic playhouse that hosts everything from ballet to Broadway. Colorful events pack the streets throughout the year, from the Lake Worth Beach Street Painting Festival to Palm Beach Pride, one of the biggest LGBTQ celebrations in the region.
Just across Lake Worth Lagoon – a boater’s playground that stretches all the way to West Palm Beach – are postcard-perfect shores, a new fishing pier and restaurants on the beach that afford endless views of the sparkling Atlantic Ocean.
To the west, see a local side of Florida at Lake Osborne. You can fish this well-stocked freshwater lake, with boat launching ramps and fishing piers at John Prince Memorial Park. Or, settle in and stay awhile: there’s a lovely campground complete with volleyball and tennis courts, grills and just about everything else you need to rough it in Palm Beaches style.
Golf lovers can also sink a birdie at one of Lake Worth’s golf courses. Established in 1926, the Lake Worth Beach Golf Club offers superb views of the beach and surrounding areas. Enjoy the fresh sea breeze while you sink a birdie at one of Lake Worth Beach’s most iconic courses. When you’re done, mosey on over to The Beach Club for some delicious fish tacos or a signature grilled avocado.
