Palm Beach Jetties is a one-mile stretch near Palm Beach Inlet that rivals Lake Worth Pier as the most consistent surf spot in South Florida. Works on any ground or windswell, handles waves from 4-15 feet, and is more consistent than most spots in the region. The jetty focuses swell and keeps sandbars in place. NE swells wrapping around the jetty create quality peaks. Metered parking fills fast on weekends.
