Beaches over the long weekend
By Labor Day, Palm Beach County schools are back in session, so the county’s summer lifeguard schedule has ended at some parks. At DuBois Park, 19075 DuBois Road, the swimming area is guarded 9 a.m. to 5:20 p.m. every day from Memorial Day until schools start in August, then on weekends only. Swim near a lifeguard. Every beach park is on our parks and trails guide.
The county’s North County Aquatic Complex, 861 Toney Penna Drive, switches to fall hours on Aug. 5: lap and open swim 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. It is closed Sunday and Monday. Call 561-745-0241.
Hurricane season
Labor Day falls in the middle of hurricane season, which runs June 1 to Nov. 30. If a storm threatens the holiday weekend, our hurricane prep guide has the county’s evacuation zones, shelters and sandbag sites.
