Riviera Beach is a working waterfront city just north of West Palm Beach, home to the Port of Palm Beach and most of Singer Island. People come for the water: shore snorkeling and diving at the Blue Heron Bridge, the lagoon at Peanut Island and quieter Atlantic beaches than the busier towns to the south.
Things to do in Riviera Beach
The water around the Blue Heron Bridge is the main draw. Phil Foster Park, on the small island the bridge crosses, has a snorkel trail, a lifeguarded swimming area and a boat ramp, and divers rank the spot among the best beach dives in the country. Time your visit to high tide for the clearest water. Peanut Island Park, at the mouth of the Palm Beach Inlet, is reached only by boat; a shuttle runs from the city’s Riviera Beach Marina, and kayakers often paddle over. The island has a snorkeling lagoon on its south shore, walking paths and a small campground. Over on Singer Island, Riviera Beach Municipal Beach on Ocean Drive and Ocean Reef Park both have lifeguards, and John D. MacArthur Beach State Park at the north end of the island adds about 1.6 miles of beach, nature trails and kayaking on Lake Worth Lagoon.
Where is Riviera Beach?
Riviera Beach sits in northeast Palm Beach County, part of the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast, between West Palm Beach and North Palm Beach. Interstate 95 and US 1 run through the mainland side, and Blue Heron Boulevard carries you east over the Blue Heron Bridge to Singer Island and the beach. Palm Beach International Airport is about 20 minutes south. Winter brings the calmest seas and, in the lagoon, visiting manatees, while summer weekends fill the parks and boat ramps early, so arrive in the morning if you want parking at Phil Foster Park.
