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

I do not see magnifcent frigate birds very often on the east side of Florida.

This may be the first on I've seen on the Atlantc side that was not soaring overhead.
