Official route / restriction details ↗Parking, route & accessibility evidence
Parking & entry: Choose the signed public entrance. Lantana lists Municipal Beach parking at 100 N. Ocean Boulevard at $2/hour, plus a $0.40 ParkMobile transaction fee. Use the zone printed at your space; this is a parking charge, not an inferred beach admission charge.
Parking source ↗Accessibility: Choose the exact accessible route. The named facility’s reviewed published information does not establish the complete parking-to-beach route for this source observation. Confirm the exact crossover, surface, slope, steps and mat/equipment availability with the managing authority before an accessible visit. This is not a finding that the beach is inaccessible.
Accessibility source ↗Open the county entrance directory ↗
Use the directory to check each entrance’s identity and status. Guide map pins are approximate shoreline locations, not turn-by-turn entrance directions or proof of current opening.

Rules & facilities
Check before you go
Timing: Published Municipal Beach Park hours: sunrise–sundown. Bringing a dog: Lantana Code §4-3(a) prohibits pet dogs and other domestic pets on the municipal public beach and adjacent Atlantic swimming waters. Town dog-park permission does not apply to the beach. This pet rule is not a statement about legally protected service-animal access. Swimming: Town reports daily tower staffing 9 a.m.–5 p.m.; this is a schedule, not an observation of today’s staffing. Getting there: See the entrance section for parking and entry details and sources. Facilities: Town lists restrooms and outdoor showers at the beach park. Accessible visit: See the entrance section for accessibility details and sources. Latest beach notice: Lantana Ocean Rescue lists daily lifeguard service but the reviewed page does not publish a dated flag observation. Check the posted flag and ask Ocean Rescue at 561-722-9536 before entering the water; the weather forecast is not the flag flying here.

Public or private?
Public access
Who can visit: Open to the general public, including visitors, during permitted hours and subject to posted rules.
Entry route, fees & access boundaries
- Manager / access authority
- Town of Lantana manages the described public beach facilities; do not infer management from the mailing municipality alone.
- Access basis
- This listing covers a publicly managed beach access or park, not a private guest-only beach.
- Where to enter
- Responsible authority identifies this as a public beach destination. Public eligibility is separate from temporary closure, individual entrance availability and route accessibility.
- Fees & reservations
- See the entrance section for parking and entry details and sources.
- Restrictions & exceptions
- Lantana beach-patrol directions control use of the water and beach. Swimmers must stay within 50 yards of shore, except surfers in the surfing area; most flotation devices stay within 25 yards, with separate surfer/boogie-board exceptions. Boards must stay out of swimming areas; skimboards require beach-patrol approval. Vessels must remain at least 800 feet from the shoreline. The beach patrol may clear water or beach for safety. Lantana Code §4-3(a) prohibits pet dogs and other domestic pets on the municipal public beach and adjacent Atlantic swimming waters. Town dog-park permission does not apply to the beach. This pet rule is not a statement about legally protected service-animal access. Published Municipal Beach Park hours: sunrise–sundown.
- What this label covers
- Approved named destination only; public eligibility does not imply current opening or a surveyed accessible entrance.
Beach ownership, the route across land, public shoreline-use rights and access to facilities are separate questions. Rules vary by state and location. Use the identified public entrance or documented permission; neither a nearby resort nor an admission fee by itself establishes that a beach is private. A mapped beach is not permission to cross private property.
Access policy reviewed 2026-10-03. Not a live closure report or a property-boundary survey.
Allowed & prohibited activities
No alcoholic beverages are allowed in Municipal Beach Park. The rescue page’s nearby restaurant/bar reference does not override this park rule.
