Ocean Ridge: Ocean Ridge Hammock Park
About
Ocean Ridge Hammock Park is a public beach access point in Florida, located within the park of the same name about 0.2 miles from the town of Ocean Ridge. Parking is available at the site. The most comfortable stretch for a visit runs from about December through April, when typical averages from a nearby weather station range from highs in the mid-70s to low 80s with lows around 56 to 64 degrees and only about eight to ten wet days a month. Summer brings highs near 90 and rain on roughly 17 to 19 days a month from June through September. Two hikes lie close by for anyone wanting to stretch their legs off the sand: High Ridge Scrub, about 2.8 miles away, and Seacrest Scrub, about 3 miles away.
