The reef at Ocean Inlet Park in Boynton Beach is an artificial reef constructed of giant boulders. This mitigation reef was a 5-month project that was completed in January 2010. The reef sits in 6 to 12 feet of water. We will enter the ocean in front of the sign indicating the end of the life guard area. This will allow us to tell where the current is coming from, while not over shooting the reef. From the beach and while in the water, you are able to see the dark areas in the ocean which is the reef. You may see Turtles, Yellow Rays, Southern Stingrays, Eels, Nurse Sharks, Sergeant Majors, Stonefish, Porcupine Fish, Grunts, and Octopus.

CAUTION: Do not swim around the jetty! You and your buddies MUST use a dive flag when snorkeling at this location. If you do not have one you must buddy up with someone that does.

Where to Meet: We'll be on the beach to the South by the discharge pipe.
