Trying to surf! Got blasted by lifeguards for surfing where the only good waves were. Lifeguards must work at pools! No one swimming, no reason for this ridiculous rule. Surfing is not a crime. Bunch of kooks.

We went here for the first time yesterday 2/21/2021. After reading other reviews I had expected to have to pay 5$/hour for parking. That is not necessarily the case. There are a lot of spaces in the South parking lot that are free for 2 hours. This lasts October 1st to May 31st. I believe this was for the benefit of the tennis club. Be careful where you park because the free spots all have a sign in front of them informing you of such. There are a lot of other spot where you are supposed to pay $5/hour, minimum 2 hours. Some of these will appear to have no signage but you are expected to pay for those. When we visited it was a very windy afternoon about 4 pm and there was lots of parking. Note that you want to be on the south side of the park and the south side of the tennis courts for the free parking. I enjoyed the park in that it was somewhat remote, not crowded and had cooking facilities. I would not have enjoyed paying $5/hour when most beaches are free near Jupiter where I live. I also understand they ticket quickly if you run over 2 hours. I guess you can move your car to another 2 hour spot. No guarantees on that.
