Let's have a BLAST partying on the beach and snorkeling with other women. If it's too wavy to snorkel, we'll swim!

ABOUT OCEAN REEF PARK: Ocean Reef Park has more than 700 feet of guarded beach frontage, including playground, picnic areas, snorkeling, and showers. Calm surf and a marked swimming area make this a good spot for families. Snorkelers will see colorful tropical reef fish, and possibly some combination of squid, rays, lobsters, snook, needlefish, pipefish, turtles, manatees, crabs, jellyfish, and other creatures that make the reef their home. You never know. http://www.pbcgov.com/parks/locations/oceanreef.htm

DRIVING DIRECTIONS: Ocean Reef Park is on the east side of A1A between Blue Heron and PGA. It can be approached from the south by Blue Heron Boulevard (I-95 exit 76) or from the north via PGA Blvd. (I-95 exit 79A). Both turn into Singer Island's one road: A1A aka Ocean Blvd. aka Jack Nicklaus Drive.
