This is an amazing park, it was my favorite as a child and now that they have renovated it SO beautifully, I can bring my son here as well! With a splash pad, a toddler area, slides, tunnels and so much more you could spend hours here, not to mention the carousel and science museum!

This is a great beach to bring the family. Come during high tide if you can, and check the Beach Conditions before you go for wave heights and sea pests.Reason you want to do this is because when it’s flat and there are no jellies, it’s a great place to snorkel. The jetty has lots of sea life to observe when you snorkel.There does tend to be quite a bit of seaweed, some days are better than others.The beach is wide, lots of space to get your Zen on. It’s very safe, so bring the family.

Beautiful beach. Saw dolphins. People were friendly and respectful. Waters were calm when I was there so it was wonderfully for swimming.

Awesome park with great access to the beach. Will definitely be back in the future to enjoy and explore it more.

Quiet family oriented. Kids enjoy the fish in the reef. Read up on park for restrictions.

One of my favorite a bit more out of the way spots in Boca. Beach always neat and clean, and excellent access for people with disabilities.

Beautiful location, easy to find, parking was affordable across the street or $20 for the day, which also isnt bad for the day. Nice, clean and well maintained area.

Nice park. Well kept. Not pet friendly unless they are a service animal. Non smoking great for kids playgrounds, tables, grills and a lovely nature walk.

This is my second time at Red Reef Park. The water was very rough both times and the visibility was low. I saw a barracuda, sergeant major, and schoolmaster snappers. The ocean floor has so many beautiful seashells too. It’s a small beach that has a ramp for special needs walkers and wheelchairs. It’s great because the beach is narrow and it’s not a long walk to the water. Be careful that the waves don’t push you into the rocks. The rocks are very sharp and I have a scar on my arm, so I probably needed stitches. You will enjoy your snorkeling experience for sure.

Beautiful park, friendly staff, well-maintained! This was a quick stop, but the attendee was helpful and the park was clean. The walk to the beach from the parking lot is close and the walkways were very tidy. They were improving the bathrooms when I was there, but I didnt use the facility. Would like to go back on a more sunny day and experience the beach fully. The rocks are close to the beach and they have signs warning you to keep off of the rocks, but you could see the rocks from the walkway and beach. Beautiful place!

Amazing beautiful beach and park for barbecue and clean will definitely recommend this place very tropical with coconut trees..

Beautiful place. Lot of shade. You can do a barbecue, there are benches. Clean restroom. Trees all around. BUT the beach is really narrow.

Pretty cool experience, wish dogs were allowed

The park was clean quiet and the water perfect and amazing. Lots of parking. No food though so bring a picnic basket

Gorgeous green scenery. Beautiful beach

Beautiful Park, heads up.. parking is $20, but we had a lovely day, the beach is great

Great place to hang out. Lots of parking. ️️

Good place to go fishing

Great experience! I was not expecting to see such a big dune so close to Miami. I enjoyed surfing and bbqueing in the shade of Native vegetation. Will come back soon!

If I could give -5 star review I would. Irene was the clerk at the front that took our money telling us that the snorkeling was good. First thing when we got to the beach the life guard told us we can’t swim past 50yards and that the conditions were horrible. We come back to the clerk 15 minutes later and asked for refund of our 20$ and they said “no” that they don’t know the actual conditions and they just write the conditions they are told to write.

One of our favorite places to relax and recharge. On our last visit it was a little too crowded for our taste, specially with Covid19 and all. But regardless, still an excellent beach to bring the family for a swim and snorkel.

Parking is $20... not sure why I have to pay so much to enjoy nature and a nice workout near the beach. I think this is the only state that charges so much for parking near the beach. Seriously?!

The snorkeling here is amazing. Got 4 reefs to snorkel. Ton of snook, mullet, sergeant major, spotail pinfish, crabs, and parrotfish.

Nice park for kids snorkeling around small reefs and see hundreds of fishes. Lifeguards on duty. Super clean beach and amenities (restrooms, picnic areas, BBQ playgrounds,...). 17$ entry fee per vehicle.

This is such a great beach for snorkeling! We loved it and saw so many fish. The rock formations are so gorgeous.

Great 9 hole course that plays along A1A and then across the street with an ocean view. Lots of fun!

Amazing beach. On our 3 day trip today was the best weather day and I am glad we got to the best beach today. blue clear water. Its the best beach so far I have been on the Atlantic ocean. It is quite place and the parking gets full pretty quickly so would advise to get hear early or if you are leaving near by hotel, they usually have shuttle which could drop you off. Make sure to bring water and refreshments. There is nothing near to buy

Absolutely beautiful place. Clean and relaxing. The entrance is a bit expensive so it is best to park across the street.

This is a beautiful park thats well kept. Parking is $20 for the day and if you use the chairs and umbrella, there is a $15 fee, although many people bring their own. There is a dock, plentiful parking, a playground for children and of course the beach. My only complaint is the seaweed is plentiful! I usually love getting in the water but having to wade through the seaweed is not my idea of a good time.

Beach where the locals go. No too busy and very calm. Be carful with the turtle nests all over the beach. Even with the big amount of see weed in the ocean it is amazing. Very recommended.

Its nice except for the abundant seaweeds. You only pay $17 for parking and $58 for an annual pass if youre a resident. I think the pass is for all the beach and park parking lots. Alcohol and cigarette smoking are prohibited.

Very nice! Its great having a beach pass. The beach is never too packed. Always a great visit and they have life guards too but of you do not have a pass then its like $20 to get in.

Beautiful and relaxing. If you rent a chair they pack up at 6 but the park closes at 8.

Love this beach. It feels like it’s a private beach depending the time you go.Make sure you park across the street (pay by meter) to avoid paying so much for valet if you are not planning to spend the whole day.

Not mu ch sand, waves were coming in pretty strong today but nice place. Should have more shower stations tho.

What a beautiful beach as well as a pleasant walk through what felt like a tropical rainforest. Saw a lot of wildlife as well such as geckos and badgers. Definitely worth the visit.

I love these place, if you want to walk and run you can have a good view and time there.

Love the nature. I was celebrating a wedding in the beach a week ago and this place became like paradise. The only “BUT” is the parking space. Not enough for a big crowd. Lovely park and beach

Great spot for ocean and intercoastal fishing.

Very peaceful, pretty and wonderful to stay at

My favorite beach park in south Florida. Dont like to pay so I bike or walk in.

This place is nice, We had a really greatime time with my family and my friends

Wow what a nice park. Only had like 3 hours so parked across the street, rented beach lounge chair n umbrella for a great price!!! $16 n said it was $25 for the day- excellent price!!! The water is blue n beautiful, people are relaxed n friendly. I did my beach yoga n it was serene. Listening to my Hawaiian music on this beautiful beach

The $20 parking fee is well worth it. It gives you much closer access and the ability to leave and come back. Plus you can tell all the money goes right back into the park. The staff are all super friendly, the facilities are well maintained as well as the beach itself. The lifeguards take their jobs very seriously also.They also have shelters, grills, and some great nature walks.

Clean and no crowding. Great for families.

A great park with great space for outdoor activities and beach outings! Clean and safe!

First time here! Love it!! Was not too crowded! Found some really nice seashells!!

Beautiful nature preserve park with gorgeous beaches. Lifeguards present. Saw mantarays in the water. Two playgrounds! $20 parking all day for the whole crew.

It was absolutely amazing!! My husband proposed to me there and then took me back there for my birthday! We would give it 10 stars if we could!

Lovely beach, parking was easy and close to the water.

Its a beach. If youre not a resident, parking is expensive, but theres restrooms and shady picnic tables, and Gumbo Limbo Nature Center is across the street with sea turtles and big aquariums and all sorts of things to do. Thats free, but a $5 per person donation is recommended. Back at Red Reef, theres some artificial reefs accessible from the beach, along with good swimming, skin diving and surfing, conditions permitting. Also some very cute spotted skunks (but dont feed the animals!).

Great place to bring the kids for picnicking & fishing.

Rainy windy empty...So just perfect

Nice family place to spend morning or afternoon on the beach . Easy access to the beach , a few BBQ spots . And the main attraction - the closest reef in Boca area .

Great place for a fun day on the beach...you can made barbecue,play golf, easy for find a parking space,nice views, bathroom very clean,you can walk a lot and made exercises

Love coming here either solo or with friends/family. I tend to frequent the west side of A1A solo to get some quiet time by the water and cast a line. The ocean side has bathrooms and activity areas for BBQ and kids play. Also on this side, theres plenty of rock like reefs for anyone whos ready to learn snorkeling and fish species. Pictures are from the intracoastal side (west)

Very beautiful. Lots of parking short walk to the water. Also there are many bbq grills and nice playgrounds for kids to play.

Great beach. Parking is $20

I am not sure why this place has a 4.6 rating. To start you pay 17 dollars for parking on holidays is 19. There is no restaurant around the beach, nothing to do beside barbecue. Very disappointed

Beautiful beach! Great snorkeling

I loved this beach in the 90s, but sadly moved away from Florida and havent been back since. Can anyone tell me if the coral reef is still alive and kicking? Would love to visit again

Nice beach, usually not too crowded.

Unique park great safety amazing staff...lifeguards park rangers. Clean and safe with barbecues available to cook your favorite meat.

Not free, have to pay $3/he to park across the road or $20 to park in the beach park. Theres not much beach space as you can see from the pictures. Positives are that its life gaurded, clean, has clean bathrooms, showers, pavilions, shaded table areas, bbq pits, and its beautiful.

Super small beach. Couldnt even get by anyone to pick a spot. we left as soon as we saw the beach and they would not refund our $20.

Nice place, expensive for a beach. In the price there not a umbrella or beach bed, you have to pay more 15/hour for that. Nice wild life.. Maybe..

Just a nice 9 hole course, easy to play and inexpensive.

Uncrowded for someone who travels by bicycle. Clean, miles of space to spread out into. Seaweed problem less evident here.

Great place overall. The only downside is filthy restrooms and no mask/social distancing enforced.

The best casually walking spot with beautiful ocean views

Ive been going to this park since I was a kid. I love it

Great spot for families to swim and check out a local reef.

Beach is beautiful and is one of my favorites! We had trouble today because two of the three walkways to the beach were roped off, but not at the beginning of the trail and there were no signs saying where to go to get to the beach so we had to trek with all our beach gear to two of the three entrances with no luck which was a long walk for someone with a herniated disc and all that beach gear. The gate attendant was helpful, but he had not been informed very well on where to instruct visitors to go. We ended up going to the third entrance which was successful. There was reported Red Tide algae, mild level, which even without asthma is a bit disconcerting to hang around. The scenery is beautiful, but we didnt stay as long as we had planned due to our concern with the Red Tide. It was a windy day with strong waves, good for body boarding, but we couldnt snorkel the reef like we had hoped. The parking is also steep. We paid holiday rate of $19 for our Honda Civic, even though veterans day was acrually yesterday. The non holiday weekday rate was posted as $17 for our vehicle class, still high for a park entry fee with in-state plates Anyways, it was still a pretty good time and the waters color and the rolling waves were glorious to watch. The local vegetation is lush and green, really pops the colors between the leaves and the brilliance of the ocean.

Red Reef Park is beautiful, clean and family friendly. It is miles long, which allows for long, leisurely walks and even for the sport routine. The facilities are great - kids playgrounds, bathrooms, picnic tables, rentable umbrella chairs, etc. Red reef park is safe life guarded and has an entry fee of $18, but is totally worth it. The City of Boca Raton & Great Boca Raton and Beach and Park District residents may purchase an annual permit for Spanish River, Red Reef and South Beach Parks. The permit fee is $58. There are many bbq pits if you want to grill your lunch, or dinner. Alcoholic beverages, however, are not allowed in the park. Pets are also not permitted in the park. We do highly recommend getting a beach chair and sitting in the water as the waves come sweeping in. #LetsGuide, #LocalGuide, #DiamondCoachLimousine, #RedReefPark

Nice beach — not cheap but that keeps crowd down a bit ;)

Not a busy touristy beach. Rustic and quiet.I didnt know this my first time visiting there that there is a man made reef to go snorkling at.Parking was pricey-$20 -we were there from 3pm until 5pm. But if you went for longer I guess its not that bad. And there is in/out privileges.There is no where close to buy food or drinks along the beachWashrooms were in perfect condition-clean! I said to my friend that it was more like an office building washroom than a park washroom.

Wonderful sandy beach area. Seems very safe and peaceful. People generally bring their own chairs or beds.

Our family just found this gem. Beautiful beach. Nice picnic area and boardwalks.

Very nice.

Lots of seaweed. Better to park across the street not worth $20

Nice beach !! We went in the evening and it was WONDERFUL. People were out fishing and relaxing. Follow my travel IG @ nikkibetripping for more nice spots to visit

Great for beginner snorkeling... spotted: ray, turtle, parrot fish, barracuda. All snorkeling within 50 yards from sure.

Great beach. Well worth the $17 entry fee. If you want to Snorkle and swim near the reef it is in the beginning of the entry area. If you just want a quiet stretch of beach thats not crowded drive to the end. The reef is just a pile of rocks that you can see some fish. Its only underwater during high tide so check the tide chart before heading out.

This is a great beach.

The park its clean, and the beaches are great the only bad thing its the parking $20 the whole day.. kinda expensive

The beach is very clean and the park is wonderfull

Very nice place, with available beach chairs and umbrellas free. Water was clear and beach and walking trails were very nice. However parking there is $20 so be prepared for that.

Love it.

Beautiful park

Reminds me of the Bahamas

One of the clearest waters that you can ever enjoy!

Beautiful beach! Couldnt be happier that its open again

Its always different, but beautiful. Always

They have metered parking for 3$ per hour or 20bucks per hour across the street. Its a normal beach like any other Ive visited and there no public parking

Beautiful and relaxing place

I love Red Reef Park! A lot less crowded than Palmetto and easier parking. It also makes for better pictures too. What more could you ask for than a Florida beach? Parking gets herder as the day goes on, obviously. Its not that close to bars or restaurants but it is a close drive away. Its definitely worth it if youre looking for a less crowded beach

Beautiful my happy place

Our family loves this place. Safe, not too crowded. Good parking, for a decent price if you park across the street ;)

Beautiful beach. Gentle waves. Relativy warm water. Easy access for Boca residents. Otherwise costly parking.

This is it go to beach place whenever we visit Boca Raton. Even though you have to cross a street to get to the beach the parking is always available and not really expensive and comparable to other parking spots around the area. Also nice views for kids with goggles and or snorkelers. There is also a life guard on duty there which is a good thing to have. Besides the beach they have public bathrooms and other pavilions for parties or quick picnics. They also have outside showers to clean off all the sand.
