Best Beachside Park for a Picnic

October 18 2006

Ocean Inlet Park
6990 N. Ocean Blvd., Ocean Ridge, 561/966-6600, www.co.palm-beach.fl.us/parks

Our coastline boasts plenty of great picnic spots, but Ocean Inlet Park has something few others do: free parking. The park's amenities aren't spread out, so if you're just up for a quick lunch, you'll find convenient access to the pavilions, secluded benches, grills, restrooms and snack bar. The inlet provides excellent fishing if you prefer to catch your lunch and outdoor showers where you can wash off the barbecue sauce.
