One thing I love about living in South Florida is the beach. On the recent day off of school, we visited the Boynton Inlet (AKA Ocean Inlet Park), inspired by my 7-year-old's recent class field trip. He had such a great time beachcombing, fishing, and playing on the playground, he was excited to share the experience with his siblings (and parents!).
The weather was cool, crisp, and sunny - a perfect beach day, as long as you're not swimming. First, we crossed S. Ocean Blvd (no traffic!), and walked along the fishing pier to see if there were any good catches coming in. Then, we spent a good amount of time walking along the beach, searching for seashells and sea glass, enjoying the perfectly glorious day.
Back on the intracoastal side of the park, we ate a quick snack to refuel before hitting the playground. There are 2 parts of the playground - a larger structure for kids 5-12, and a smaller piece of equipment for the younger ones. Of course, I had to keep pulling the 2-year-old off of the bigger structure and encouraging him to play on the smaller one that was "just for him".
Eventually, the 10-year-old and 7-year-old were more interested in climbing the trees than the playground itself...
Overall, this is a really great spot. Parking is free; there are bathrooms and picnic tables; and between the beach, playground, and opportunities to go fishing, there's definitely plenty to do at Ocean Inlet Park!
