Snorkeling Blue Heron Bridge/Phil Foster Park

Snorkel Phil Foster Park, 10 AM.

Wednesday May 6 2026 . Snorkel at Blue Heron Bridge/Phil Foster Park, 900 East Blue Heron Blvd., Riviera Beach. The water may be a little cool so you may want to plan on wearing something to minimize the water temperature effects on your body. You only have about an hour to snorkel under the bridge before the tide starts going out but the snorkel trail off the beach should still be Ok. Check with the lifeguards. There is a kiosk with the map of the snorkel trail.

This is some of the best snorkeling in the area. High tide is at Noon , so come a bit earlier to set up and relax in the sun or shade under the bridge . Look for a pirate flag as not allowed to have other signs. . Snorkel the trail along the park island where there are concrete shark statutes or under the bridge. See photos below of past events .

This is a great spot to hang out in the shade of the bridge and enjoy the scenery of the water and Peanut island. Bring a picnic lunch if you want..but no alcohol allowed in this area. There are restrooms and showers nearby. We will have someone watch your car keys/stuff while you are in the water.

Take Blue Heron Boulevard to the east end of the bridge; there’s a traffic light. Turn north ( left) into the parking area and go to the west end. We’ll gather under the bridge. Look for the pirate flag. Bring lunch to picnic afterwards, and the usual stuff: chair, mask, snorkel, fins, snorkel vest and dive flag if you have them, sunblock and water. Local scuba shops are nearby if you need equipment: Force E dive shop is on Blue Heron Blvd., Riviera Beach Scuba Shop - Force-E Scuba Centers are nearby. Bring your good humor too.

You cannot snorkel under the bridge proper without a dive flag, but some of us will have them. Hope you can make it Ben [bbsdob525@aol.com](mailto:bbsdob525@aol.com) 561 425-3077
