Riviera Beach, FL Area Guide

Take a dive into this beach suburbia

Tourism Suburb Coastal Beach Water Sports Bustling

In Palm Beach County lies Riviera Beach, a prime spot to become a Florida resident. With a population around 33,500, Riviera Beach is a bustling suburbia filled with water and outdoor recreation. Riviera Beach is home to the Blue Heron Bridge, one of the country’s top-rated beach diving sites. If the dive is too much adventure for you, Blue Heron Fishing has you covered with fishing boat tours to get you started on your aquatic adventures.

If you want to get out on the water but aren’t interested in fishing, then get your Jet Ski and tube rentals at Get Wet Watersports, or maybe even get a wakeboard lesson from a pro. On a rainy day, check out Riviera Beach Public Library on Blue Heron Blvd for the best book rentals in the city. Once you’ve found your apartment in Riviera Beach, make sure you visit a locally raved restaurant, Rodney’s Crabs & More, off of President Barack Obama Hwy.
