Once you’ve passed all the luxury penthouses along Palm Beach you come to the 325-acre John D MacArthur Beach State Park.
As I arrived and paid my (reasonable) $4 entrance, I noticed the sign warning visitors that sharks had been sighted and that the rip current was especially dangerous.
Zenchai was fast asleep in the back. It was hot and humid. We pulled into the car park, where I found a shaded spot and waited for him to wake up.
He did about half an hour later, dripping with sweat. Once Zenchai was all set to go, we walked across a long wooden bridge (1,600ft boardwalk) taking us across a lagoon to the beach. It’s possible to spot a variety of wildlife making the walk, but the most we saw were jumping fish and pelicans.
The beach is home to several species of turtles from May until August. On weekdays you have the miles of sand more or less to yourself. There aren’t many shady spots, though, and it gets hot. Although this was the swimming area, the waves were too powerful to venture too far out. We didn't see any sharks either.
But visitors aren’t attracted to this park purely for the beach. There are nature trails, bird walks, opportunities for guided snorkelling trips, kayaking, fishing (in specific areas only) and wildlife observations.
Opening times: 8am until sunset. Nature centre is open from 9am until 5pm.

I admired these on the web for a few weeks, started looking for them in stores, but couldn't find wow gold wherever. I ordered them on the internet and so they came today, and that i definitely adore them. They are really attractive, and so they seem incredibly very well made/durable. They may be certainly what I was looking for.Otherwise, gorgeous!
