Visitor reviews of Boynton Beach surf break
(NOTE: Reviews may be edited by our content team for the purposes of ensuring accurate and relevant information)
“Boynton can get good, but the city dredges it every few years to make the beach wider and it totally ruins the sandbars. Then the beach gets washed away and the sandbars return and then the surf can get good again when there's a rare swell. Then they dredge it again and the cycle goes on. And on. And on.”
