A Day at John D. MacArthur

A November 2006 trip to Palm Beach by ARAMISmartinez

A great place for everyone, from the beautiful beach to a wonderful nature center. Fun for the hole family.

We went to the play area and my girls and I got to swing on the swings and climb the little ladders and slide down the 5 slides. It was covered in lush green trees. We walked on the nature trail and found the nature center. They had all kinds of fossils and little sea creatures. They even had a little gift shop. Next to all that there was what looked like an out door auditorium. Maybe they use it to talk about the animals and show them off. We took the little golf trolley across the intercostals to the beach where the girls played in the sands and the waves of the beach. It wasn't packed with people and there was plenty of sun bathing room, for those who like to soak up the rays. The wind was nice and took some of the heat away from the sun. Then we got a ride back to the restrooms on a different golf trolley. We then walked back to the car and left. It was fun and educational and I think we all enjoyed it. It had a little of both nature and the beach life style. It is off the beaten path and a little slice of peace and quite tucked away deep in the woods. It’s really all kind of hidden. I liked it and would recommend it to those who want a beach that isn't crowded and take a nice easy stroll on a nature trail. I'd go again any day. Oh, and best of all it only cost $4 to get in for the entire car.
