Ocean Inlet Park
The Boynton Inlet is a surf side paradise of sun and sand. A long time spot for fishing and family play. The Boynton Inlet has a 600 ft beach, jetties for fishing, marina, a playground for the kids, a short walking path and a pavilion for the picnickers.
If you visit the inlet in the later part of the year, October, November, its a good chance you'll find fishermen pulling in lots of fish. This draw is great for the kids who like to get close to nature. If the fish aren't biting, walk over to the playground and let the kids burn off some steam.
Oceanfront Park
This is a wonderful ceanfront park with showers, restrooms and a newly renovated playground (it's pretty awesome now...especially compared to the monstrosity that was there before). The beach is pretty well-maintained by the city and a non-profit volunteer organization also frequently does a clean up here (Sandsifters). There's a nice shaded bench area near the parking lot that overlooks the shore. Very pleasant. Only drawback is that you get charged to park there.

This was three months after damage occurred due to Hurricane Wilma in October 2005. It was the community spirit ABC saw in an audition that weighed heavily in the City's favor, producers said. The Boynton project, part of the show's After the Storm series on hurricane-damaged communities aired in the Spring of 2006.
