Gulfstream Park

love the soft slopes here. waves are mild and great for young kids. parking is free but limited… had to park away and walk. other than that, I love this beach compared to others in the area ESP ocean reef park which is the one we usually go to although my toddler can’t go in due to the strong waves… the waves there are too rough. I’ll be back again to Gulf Stream Park this weekend! Highly recommended clear beautiful water and white sand

So glad I brought out-​of-​towners here with our toddlers! They really appreciated that gorgeous beach view right from the playground! Cute playground and swings with bathrooms right next to the playground! Not a far walk from the parking lot either. I will definitely be back with beach gear so we can take advantage of the beach too!

Great park for young kids, super close to the beach and great picnic area. Will have my child’s birthday here one year for sure.

Great location, wasn’t super crowded seemed like mostly locals. Nice & quiet. They have bathrooms, a play ground and a bbq area. The parking can be a hassle at times since spaces are limited in the parking lot. We almost had to fight an elderly couples for a spot.

Amazing beach with picnic area and showers right before leaving (awesome for cleaning off before getting into your car).
Gets pretty crowded during the day, although the 2 times I’ve visited, I never had a problem finding parking.
Overall it is my go-​to beach and I love how it also has a playground for the kiddies.

Limited parking and LOTS OF SPIDERS on the walkway to the beach seriously be careful. The beach is beautiful been going ever sense I was little and love it!!! Gets crowded on the weekends especially with parking so try and get there early! They have very good barbecue areas and picnic areas for parities. Lots of showers and lots of picnic space

Great get away from the normal crowded local beaches. There is limited parking so arrive early to get s spot. The kids have a great time with the playground in the park bordering the beach. The water always seems to be so clean.

I agree with everyone here about the parking, but the beach itself is fantastic. I wish they had a numbering system or a line for the parking. I hate getting harassed about my spot when I’m leaving

Great beach! We always went to Deerfield beach and we love this one so much more. I would have given 5 stars, but parking lot is small.

Great public beach with lifeguard. Our 1,5 and 3 year old love gulfstream Park and so do we!
The beach is nice and not too crowded. Lots of seashells (that makes our daughter very happy!)
There is also a playground (the sign says it is for 5to12 years old but my 3 years old was able to do it all by helself) and baby swings.
Amenities: Parking (get there early), lots of picnic tables and BBQ spots (most of them in shady areas). There are also toilets and water.

Best public beach in town with plenty of parking. We also took our engagement pictures there during sunrise. They came out beautiful :)

What a hidden gem!
Getting here early in the morning is KEY, as the parking lot (while free!) is pretty teeny tiny.
But should you wrangle yourself a parking spot, stroll on up the lush walkway, down the stairs by the lifeguard station, & behold! A pristine, not crowded, not loud, & beautiful beach hidden behind a cove of trees.
I especially appreciated the shower/​foot washing station to get that pesky sand off your feet before you return to your car.

Happen to pass by when driving south after dinner with my son. Seemed like a nice place to take a short. Then we saw the beach and knew we would be back. The next day the weather was questionable but it is so close to my home. Wound up to be a perfect day for a swim. Lots of waves but no undertow at all. A bit of seaweed floating around but it didn’t stop me from enjoying a swim without the crowds. My son who is usually a magnet for jellyfish finally gave in and totally enjoyed it. Nice picnic areas, bath house, but as others said during the season I would recommend getting there early. Will definitely go back and feel comfortable enough going myself since there is a lifeguard on duty.

I felt as if I was down in Key Largo. However I was moments from home. Gulfstream Park; has an astonishing sandbar that goes for about 300 feet. It’s a great park and beach for families and get-​togethers. Plus there is one lifeguard on duty. And you can drink your beer! It does have its own parking lot. However parking is limited on busy weekends but midweek no problem! There is a playset for children. And shower to rinse off. Also; the rest area is covered with a vending machine.

Wow! Gulfstream Park is a hidden gem of a beach. We stopped by very quickly just to get a look at the ocean while we were in the area and I am sure we’ll be back.
There is a small-​ish parking lot and it’s a little hike to get to the beach (keep that in mind if you decide to take my mom to the beach, she walks slow). It’s interesting because from where you park you can’t even see the water, the path winds around and through some vegetation before you get to the ocean. That’s different.
I liked that there was a lifeguard on duty. The beach wasn’t too crowded when we were there, but it was December… I assume it would be busier in the summer. Overall very nice.

This tucked away park has full access to the beach, playgrounds, and BBQ grilling area for picnicking. It’s very quiet, clean and never really crowded. There’s also a life guard on duty. The only thing that prevents from 5 stars is the parking situation here. it can ruin your whole experience so please come early. Also there’s plenty of showers and foot washing stations to wash the sand off. The restrooms are clean here too.

Absolutely fantastic for those who are looking for a clean, quiet, secluded beach, this is it! Parking is limited so going early is highly recommended. Many picnic tables and grills but no food venues so pack a lunch. Playground was very much an enjoyment for my five year old on our way out. Going back tomorrow!!!

I love how private this beach feels… If you can get parking. We rode our bikes here so it was not an issue but any time we drive here we end up waiting for something to leave or we end up going up the road to Atlantic. I love how close it is to the market and Nomad… Definitely a great place to avoid the crowds.

Lovely beach. We arrived at 11:30am on a sunny Monday and the lot had 10 or so open parking spots that were quickly filling. The beach wasn’t crowded, the water was warm and clean, and the crowd was quiet. I’d definitely come again.

Besides the Bahamas, this is the prettiest beach I have ever been to. It puts Miami Beach to shame. The parking lot is small, and once it’s full there’s really no other way to get on the beach unless someone drops you off, or you walk. This is good, because it prevents the beach from becoming too crowded. It is only a bad thing if you are not there by at least 9 am, especially on a weekend or holiday. Since the beach only has a limited number of beachgoers, there are no people parked 2 feet away from you on either side, thereby reducing the congestion. Also, it is an older crowd, besides the few families that join in. This makes for a quieter day at the beach, with no radios blaring. The water can be a bit rough at this location, but it is very beautiful. There are restrooms within walking distance, a nice shower area, and lifeguards on duty. This beach is a must-​hit if you are in the area and you can get there early enough. The parking lot gets cutthroat around noon.
