The Blue Heron Bridge spans the Intracoastal Waterway connecting Riviera Beach with Singer Island. It is a massive fixed-bridge that replaced a concrete structure that has been partially kept for fishermen to use. The bridge, at its eastern end, crosses Phil Foster Park. This Palm Beach County beach and park is a popular diving destination as well as a launching ramp for pleasure boaters. Divers in South Florida make regular trips to the “Bridge” when bad weather keeps boats off the nearby Atlantic Ocean. The “Bridge,” with its free parking, showers, sandy access to the lagoon, and shallow water, is also a popular training site for Scuba instruction.
