John D. MacArthur Beach State Park is named for John D. MacArthur who donated the land for its construction in the 1970s. The park is located in northern Palm Beach County at the North end of Singer Island. A biological treasure, the outdoor park is home to rare sea turtles that use the park's shore as nesting grounds. A guest will be sure to enjoy any of their numerous outdoor activities like sunbathing, fishing, kayaking, bird watching and snorkeling in the 225 acres of land, and an additional 535 acres of submerged lands within its boundaries.

This outdoor park, open till late in the afternoons, has attempted to keep the area secluded and private in order for guests to continue to enjoy the unspoiled beauty of nature and the undisturbed activities of flora and fauna in their habitats. The care and attention of each of the dedicated staff make one want to go back for more, at the end of the trip.

An excellent venue for the brave and thrill-enthusiast, this park offers a long list of outdoor water activities. They have activities lined up for every guest from 1 to 91, and they have exerted special efforts to keep the areas safe. The visiting families are thus assured of a care-free experience as the kids are allowed to romp and the more elderly allowed to move around at their own pace.
