About Atlantic Dunes Park

 

Atlantic Dunes Park is located in Palm Beach, Florida, bordering the Atlantic Ocean. The park protects a stretch of fragile coastal dune ecosystems that serve as natural barriers against storm surges and provide habitat for native flora and fauna. Its terrain consists mainly of sandy beaches, maritime dunes, and coastal scrub, hosting various plants such as sea oats and saw palmetto. The park is home to wildlife including shorebirds like plovers and terns, as well as native gopher tortoises. Historically, the area was shaped by natural coastal processes and later preserved to offer public access to one of Florida’s scenic beachfronts while maintaining important environmental protections. Visitor amenities include boardwalks and pathways designed to minimize impact on sensitive dunes, picnic areas, restrooms, and designated swimming zones. Popular recreational opportunities cover beachcombing, fishing, birdwatching, and sunbathing. The park draws locals and tourists alike seeking a peaceful beach environment with direct ocean access and easy proximity to urban centers. Its well-maintained facilities and natural beauty make it a favored spot for family outings and nature walks along the Atlantic shoreline.
