Lake Worth Beach is a small, artsy city in central Palm Beach County, with a walkable downtown of 1920s storefronts, a casual city-run beach and a long fishing pier. It has more character and less polish than its neighbors, which is exactly why people like it. The city adopted its current name in 2019.

Where is Lake Worth Beach?

Lake Worth Beach is just south of West Palm Beach in the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast, about 15 minutes from Palm Beach International Airport. I-95 runs along the west side and Tri-Rail stops at the Lake Worth Beach station. Downtown runs along Lake Avenue and Lucerne Avenue, the paired streets of State Road 802, and they lead east over the Robert A. Harris Bridge to the beach on the barrier island. Parking at the beach is metered, and downtown is easy to explore on foot.

Things to do in Lake Worth Beach

Lake Worth Beach centers on the Lake Worth Casino and Baths building, a restored 1920s landmark, and the William O. Lockhart Municipal Pier, which reaches out over clear water popular with anglers and snorkelers. Downtown, Bryant Park sits on the Intracoastal and has a 1930s bandshell used for events, including the Midnight Sun Festival that celebrates the city’s Finnish heritage. The Lake Worth Playhouse performs in a 1920s theater, and the historical museum occupies the old City Hall. Each winter the Street Painting Festival draws hundreds of artists who cover Lake and Lucerne avenues in chalk. Just north of the bridge, Snook Islands Natural Area has a boardwalk and fishing pier on the lagoon.
