Summa Beach Park is a public beach on the Intracoastal Waterway, specifically the Lake Worth Lagoon, at 7422 S. Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach, Florida. The beach itself is a fairly long stretch of fine, white sand. Parking is available along the adjacent street, Seville Road. The park offers basic amenities for a day out, including a grassy area with a bench and shade trees. For paddlers launching from shore, the carry distance from the parking area to the water is short and straightforward across the sand. This is a beach launch directly into the Intracoastal Waterway, so paddlers should be prepared for potential boat wake and wind-driven waves along the shore. The waterway is a major corridor for powerboats, and a serious high-speed boating incident near the park underscores the need for constant vigilance for fast-moving vessel traffic. The area can experience significant wind and current, which were noted factors during that incident. The Intracoastal here is part of the 21-mile long Lake Worth Lagoon, a brackish waterway. The lagoon has experienced water quality issues, including algae blooms that have historically covered Summa Beach, though these are episodic events related to water management and stormwater runoff. Paddlers can explore the calm, intracoastal waters north and south along Flagler Drive. A notable nearby paddle destination reachable from this launch is Peanut Island, though it was temporarily closed during a past algae event. The overall character is a quiet, neighborhood beach away from airplane flight paths, but it is directly adjacent to a busy navigational channel.
