SINGER
ISLAND TRAIL PHOTOS Pictures Of
Recreation Trail On Singer Island In West Palm Beach, Florida
Path For Biking, Walking, Jogging And Skating
Location:
North Ocean Drive (also called A1A and SR 703)
Singer Island, FL (northeast-central Palm Beach County)
Directions:
From the south: I-95 to Blue Heron Blvd. Head east
until you cross the large bridge over the Intercoastal Waterway.
This puts you at Phil Foster Park on the south end of Singer
Island.
From the north: I-95 to PGA Blvd. Head east until
you get to John D. MacArthur Beach State Park. This puts you on
the north end of Singer Island.
There are 2 miles of car-free dedicated paved trail on the north
end of Singer Island. The path runs between Ocean
Reef County Park to the south and John D. MacArthur Beach
State Park to the north. The trail is a wide sidewalk
(separated from traffic) that runs along the west side of North Ocean
Drive.
There are views of Lake Worth Lagoon/Intercoastal Waterway
and picturesque bridges over Lake Worth Cove in the MacArthur Park
area.
Parking can be a problem. It's best to park along
North Ocean Drive just south or MacArthur Park (near the bridges)
or at MacArthur Park itself (a small daily use fee applies.) To
the south, park at Ocean Reef County Park (it's free, though this will
require you to deal with a couple blocks of cross traffic.)
If traffic does not bother you, the paved Singer Island Trail
runs the full distance of Singer Island. You can park
at Phil
Foster Park on Blue Heron Blvd. and head north to MacArthur Park
(3.5 miles.) You may even want to ride up to the top of the
Blue Heron Bridge... the view is spectacular! If you want to go even
further
north, the road includes a bike lane north of MacArthur Park.
I recommend a
visit to MacArthur park. There is a beautiful 1600' boardwalk
over Lake Worth Cove. It joins a quarter mile long dirt path near
the incredible beach.

If traffic does not bother you, you can start at Phil Foster Park.
If you want to get away from traffic, start at Ocean Reef Park
(scroll down for more.)
The paved Singer Island Trail runs the full distance of
Singer Island. You can park at Phil
Foster Park on Blue Heron Blvd. and head north to MacArthur Park
(3.5 miles.) You may even want to ride up to the top of the
Blue Heron Bridge (immediately south of Phil Foster Park)... the view
of Peanut
Island is spectacular!
This statue stand
at the gate of Phil Foster Park on Singer Island. It's easily
seen from the stoplight Blue Heron Blvd.
From Phil Foster County Park you head north 1.5 miles past hotel
and condo towers until you reach Ocean Reef County Park. This
part of the trail is sidewalk on the west side of North Ocean Drive
(A1A). There are frequent intersections with residential streets.
There are 2 miles of car-free
dedicated paved trail on the north end of Singer Island. The path
runs
between Ocean
Reef County Park to the south and John D. MacArthur Beach
State Park to the north. Ocean Reef Park is a good place to
park then head to the north. The trail is a wide sidewalk
(separated from traffic) that runs along the west side of North Ocean
Drive (A1A).
This is the typical asphalt paved trail along this 2 miles
"car-free" section.
There are benches with views
of Lake Worth Lagoon/Intercoastal Waterway.
Parking can be a problem.
It's best to park along North Ocean Drive just south or MacArthur
Park (near the bridges) or at MacArthur Park itself (a small daily
use fee applies.) To the south, park at Ocean Reef County Park
(it's free, though this will require you to deal with a couple blocks
of cross traffic.)
When going over bridges,
the Singer Island Trail is protected from traffic by a guardrail.
This photo was taken on northern Singer Island looking at the
condo towers to the south.
These bridges are just
south of John D. MacArthur Park. They go over Lake Worth
Lagoon. They're a favorite fishing spot for locals.
From the bridges you can
see the boardwalk at John
D. MacArthur Park and Lake Worth Cove to the north.
The
divided trail continues north of the bridges.
The trail become
sidewalk as it nears John D.
MacArthur Park.
At MacArthur Park
(entrance sign see in the right side of photo) the divided trail ends.
An
on-the-road bike lane continues north for a couple of miles to the U.S.
1 / PGA Blvd. intersection. It's a nice ride past expensive
housing developments.
At this point I recommend turing east into John D. MacArthur
Park. Park your bike at the boardwalk bike stand and take the
tram (or walk) across the boardwalk out to the beach. Next, click

Guide, then click the John D.
MacArthur Park link to see pictures of the trails, boardwalk and
beach.
