The open beach breaks along Palm Beach between the jetties area and Lake Worth Pier are typical South Florida beach breaks — sand bottom, left and right peaks, generally small and mushy but occasionally producing lined-up walls on solid NE swells. A good area for longboarding and learning, less crowded than the nearby pier and inlet breaks.
