Situated along the stunning Atlantic Ocean and the tranquil Lake Worth Lagoon, the vast and diverse John D. MacArthur Beach State Park spans over 438 acres of untouched natural landscapes. Within its boundaries thrive seven distinct species of plants and 22 varieties of animals, each classified as either endangered or threatened.

Established in the year 1989, John D. MacArthur Beach State Park proudly stands as the sole state park nestled in the picturesque Palm Beach County. The underlying mission, then and now, remains unwavering – to safeguard an exceptionally rare and exquisitely scenic fragment of Florida’s southeastern coastline.

The visionary John D. MacArthur himself was enlightened to this imperative cause following an in-depth university study in the 1970s that unveiled the invaluable biological jewels present within this remarkable park.
