John D. MacArthur Beach State Park

Saturday night, I saw that a bluegrass bad was performing at John MacArthur from 1 to 3 Sunday.I had only been to the Park once before. Before I had a kayak. I decided to make the 170 mile drive to Palm Beach County.
On the water at 10:30
THere is a large lagoon between the Atlantic and Lake Worth/Intracostal Waterway
The roaad bridge is the lagoon's outlet to Lake Worth. I did not pass under it. Yet.
A pedestrian bridge crosses the lagoon from parking lots to the beach. A 4 seat golf cart shuttles visitors from 10 to 4
Paddled to the north end of the lagoon.
Did not see much wildlife
I paddled back to the north end of the lagoon, under A1A and into Lake Worth
Munyon Island. I did not paddle to it as it would have been into the tide, and I had a bluegrass concert to attend.
Rental landing. Photos out of order. It is past the pedestrian bridge, paddling north.
Public landing. Beached at 12:23.
I was impressed with the ampitheater at John D. MacArthur. And the band, Gypsy Strings Review. Closed the show with The Orange Blossom Special. Ended my visit with a walk to the beach.
