Carlin Park

The first word that comes to mind with this park on the beach is convenience!
For starters you’ve got a baseball field, lots of close great parking that is just steps away from the showers and beach access.
This park is a favorite among the logos because it’s really crowded and his family friendly.
I believe there are maybe 20 or 30 covered barbecue areas with grills and large tables which are covered which is important to point out.
also got a his and hers bathrooms and even a restaurant and it’s very convenient to just grab your stuff and go there with the family.
This park is just across the street from «corners» a popular surf spot and there are lifeguards and lifeguard towers at each of the beach access points within the park.
On the other side of the road is another park with more area for activities and sports although I don’t really head over to the other side of the park I’m always there at the beach.
Did I mention that the parking lot and all the parking spaces are FREE there are no meters or charges. Don’t forget your sunblock!

Came here with a bunch of people to have a BBQ and enjoy a nice day at the beach. This is a pretty nice area with playgrounds, grass area and a beach on the other side. The entire area itself is pretty clean with a new view. I saw a lot of families here so it must be a popular spot. Parking is free and there is plenty of parking. Lots of picnic tables as well. Free activity!

Great spot to play tennis at! It’s very quiet here, like most places in Jupiter, and isn’t crowded. You have to bring your own equipment but the courts are free for public use.

I love Carlin Park. the restaurant here is great, plenty of parking and easy access. plenty of showers and restrooms.

Favorite beach in all of Palm Beach county even though it’s 20 minutes away. Parking is free and you can find a s spot in the middle of the day even on a weekend.
Pavilions are close by and there’s plenty of them took. All beaches should be designed like this one
They say no alcohol but it’s not really enforced

This is my favorite beach in Jupiter! The parking is free and there is always plenty of open spots. The beach is clean and I love that to the south is dog-​friendly and to the north is no dogs allowed, so it is a good mix!
There is a nice small playground, picnic tables, and BBQs by the parking lot, but the best part are the bathrooms. In my few experiences, they have always been clean and well-​maintained. There are also wash off showers both on the beach side of A1A and near the parking lot, which makes for a clean ride home!

Beautiful beach. Very clean. Breathtaking views. Great place to take family. Pavilions within walking distance to beach. Best beach in Jupiter.

Even though Carlin Park is a good 45 minute drive from our house, I make it a point to go to this park/​beach rather than one closer to home. Parking is free, there are picnic tables, a few grills, a playground, restrooms, and a restaurant. The beach is well taken care of and I’ve never found it terribly crowded.

This is a nice area. On one side is a playground and small river. On the other side is a beautiful beach. We once had such a nice swim here in the early evening. The sand is soft. It’s lovely! For photos check out

Great pavilions in close range to the beach. Tiny restaurant nearby (can’t comment on food), clean restaurants, and a playground. Great spot for a BBQ and a bday party. If I lived nearby I would reserve these pavilions for our parties.

beautiful beach, quiet… not too crowded… great to relax and enjoy

When I was in high school, I refused to play any team sport unless I could wear a skirt. Years later I’m still kind of a sissy but I fancy myself a bit of a runner. Okay, actually more of a jogger. So when I’m in Jupiter, Carlin Park is where I do this running and thinking. Plus it really boosts my self esteem when I jog past senior citizens in short shorts (Eat dirt, Lester!).
The park is right across from the Jupiter Beach Resort and the ocean itself. It’s actually 1.5 miles all around but it’s considered a Heart Trail and there are stations where you stop and follow the directions on the signs. For example, there are stretching stations or cardio prompts (like jumping jacks, sit ups, pull ups, etc.). You can follow or not follow. Sometimes I stop and do the stations if I’m with someone extremely OCD; but usually it’s just me and my ‘80s mix doing long slow miles without a care.
But it gets very hot on the track and there’s not a lot of shade since it’s right across from the ocean. I think it’s important to go very early in the morning, then walk across to the beach, take a dip to cool off, and bring your SPF 90. Sun blisters are tres disgusting.
With the exception of the friendly regulars, the park is not very crowded. I used to come here with my grandpa as a young girl and we’d open our hands with some breadcrumbs and feed the birds while doing a little whistle. Lots of people just walk the track and enjoy the sunshine, green beauty of the trees surrounding the trail, and the scent of sea water in the air. There’s also a little lake where you can feed the ducks. Across from the lake is a playground with picnic tables. I always thought it was kind of romantic to come for a picnic, even though I didn’t have kids. And there’s a bathroom! A really clean one at that. I mean I love jogging in Central Park and all but finding a bathroom was always a disaster unless I was near the Boat House.
I just love it here and I love this track. Really, is there a reason to go back to NYC and deal with shady men grunting on the elliptical once you’ve found paradise?
