I knew where the inlet was on the charts, but I could not figure out from the internet exactly where I could go to see it. One of the sites gave places along the road to the south of the inlet where he said views could be had, but that area was completely built up. We drove down US A1A



and across the drawbridge and the whole length of the road and back without finding any place that looked like we could get to the coastline without going across someone's property.

On the way back we almost ran into



This park had free parking, playground equipment


benches and people (and some birds) were fishing from beside the inlet, and it also had a really good view of the Hillsboro Inlet bridge



and the lighthouse (with a heliocopter)






and we could watch the sports fisher boats come in through the washing machine that was the inlet and tread water waiting for the bridge to open.
