Local attractions such as the Palm Beach Yacht Center, Lake Worth Fishing Pier, and Boynton Inlet Pier offer easy access for fishing and taking boats out into the water. The Hypoluxo Scrub Natural Area is a nature preserve that lends itself to Cottonweed Trail, as well as Eastern Pondhawk Trail.

In addition to the wonderful natural elements in this community, nearby Lantana Municipal Beach, Garnett Park, and San Castel Community Park offer areas to relax seaside.
