Dubois Beach Park Is Open

Hooray!!!! After being closed for a 4 week renovation (as the sign said for the past 1 1/2 years) Dubois Beach Park is open. This spot is full of memories! My boys (and their cousins and friends)were raised at Dubois Park. After erosion and Hurricane damage, the little lagoon is back! For any one who has ever lived in or visited Palm Beach County, you know this is a must visit spot. From time to time, I will post my Dubois park memories and photos from the past 25 years! This is the 2007 welcome back to Dubois Park. It is like an old friend has returned.

This is the inlet side of the park. The Jupiter Lighthouse seems farther away this year.

This is the newest change. The bridge is straight ahead in the right of this photo. To the left is the area that used to be trees, rocks, and mangrove-like vegetation (where all the cousins got cut up at one time-that will be a blog in and of itself) Now the area is terraced with compact sand and a seawall to help prevent further erosion. The parking lot is to the left of this photo.
This is the terraced area. The restrooms are behind here, the bridge and inlet are to the right.

More views of the terracing and the bridge. It is just beautiful and still so much fun!
Welcome Back!

Wow, I have many great memories of Du Bois, most of them with your family! It's amazing how much they changed the park, but it looks great and there is even a lifeguard. This makes me miss home more than I already do, if that is even possible!!
