North America United States The Palm Beaches Beaches Phil Foster Park

Phil Foster Park

The guide was updated:
The Underwater Snorkel Trail is one of the world’s premier dive spots for both experienced scuba divers and beginner snorkelers alike. Yahoo Travel recently named Phil Foster in its Top 12 Snorkeling Spots. The trail spreads across a two-area acre beneath the Blue Heron Bridge spanning the Lake Worth Inlet. Underwater photographers delight in the abundance of unique marine life, with frequent visits from stingrays, eels, giant starfish, brightly-colored tropical fish and even an occasional octopus or manatee. Three submerged sculptures of hammerhead sharks, donated by artist and West Palm Beach resident Thomas McDonald, seem to invite visitors to post with them for underwater “shark selfie” photos. Amenities include: Snorkeling, Boat Dock, Parking, BBQ grills, lifeguards on duty, Showers, Picnic Tables, and Restrooms.
