Lake Worth is located in Palm Beach County
just south of West Palm Beach near the Atlantic seacoast. A bridge
connects the mainland to a barrier island that is home to Lake Worth�s
beach. For years, tourists stayed here for the easy access to Palm Beach
and the affordable lodging. But, Lake Worth is a fine destination on its
own, with several blocks of art galleries, boutiques and restaurants.
Lake Worth Municipal Park, also known as Casino Park, has a beach,
Olympic size swimming pool, fishing, picnic areas, shuffleboard, shops
and restaurants. The warm Gulf Stream flows within five miles of the
Atlantic coast in Lake Worth, making it possible for anglers to
sometimes hook ocean sportfish from the Lake Worth Municipal Pier.
Nearby Lantana Beach is a favorite family destination, which offers an
inshore reef, sand dunes, a playground, restaurant and showers. Many
nights in Lake Worth you will find free concerts by local and regional
artists, and sometimes nationally known professionals. Restaurants in
the area are good and plentiful and offer fresh fish, seafood, key lime
pie and other regional favorites.
