Coral Cove Park features prominent natural limestone formations where a flat tabletop reef creates fast lefts on small northerly swells at low to mid tides. The 3/4-mile walk from parking keeps crowds thin. A small but shapely left point breaks off the south end when the sandbank is working. The northernmost reef break in the Palm Beach County chain and a good indicator of what makes Jupiter-area surfing distinct.
