How far away is the beach?
Loggerhead Club & Marina™ - Riviera Beach is less than one mile to the beach. Depart the marina and walk, ride or drive over the Blue Heron Bridge. Go straight ahead two blocks and behind the Singer Island “Mall” is a public access beach.
Are there any beaches or islands nearby that we can drop anchor and swim?
Peanut Island is a local favorite for boats of all sizes. The island includes camp grounds, a snorkeling lagoon, BBQ pits, a fishing pier and restrooms. Access is directly west of the Lake Worth Inlet. Simply head South on the ICW and after passing under the 65’ Blue Heron Bridge, pick a spot.
For locals who live north, enjoy the “Sand Bar” located due west of the Jupiter Inlet. Head due west of the inlet into the Loxahatchee River basin and south of the channel you’ll see hundreds of boats enjoying hundreds of yards of sandy flats. Music, Frisbees and footballs fill the air. For additional directions or locations, check with your Harbor Master.
Are there any areas close by to go water skiing?
You can water ski directly out of the Marina in Lake Worth. Heavy boat traffic on the weekends can cause a safety hazard. Skiers tend to stay closer to the western and northern edges of Lake Worth. Talk to your Harbor Master about tides and shifting sand bars which can lead to problems.
Are there any restaurants on the water that we can get to?
Many restaurants are accessible by boat including tourist favorite Sailfish. The Riviera Beach Tiki Bar is also minutes away. Other restaurants including Waterway Café, Rum Bar, Paname Hatties, The River House and newly opened Seasons 52 are only 25 minutes away. Head north through Lake Worth along the ICW until you reach PGA Boulevard. A cluster of the above restaurants are located north, south, east and west of the PGA Bridge.
Are there any fixed bridges in the area and if so, what is the height limit?
Voyage to the south is via the Blue Heron Bridge with a fixed clearance of 65’.
