Lantana is an average beach break south of Lake Worth Pier that is uniquely at its best on ESE swells — somewhat unusual for the region. On N/NE swells it tends to close out, but ESE direction produces nice A-frames. Strong currents can sweep down the beach requiring constant repositioning. The municipal beach has good facilities with 200+ parking spaces.
