Visiting Palm Beach County provides endless opportunities to enjoy the
variety of experiences. From the ocean to the agricultural industries to
the west, exciting growth and development to the north and an eclectic
mix to the south, Palm Beach County has it all.
The island of Palm Beach is exceptional, of course. A mere three-blocks
wide and less than 14-miles long, it is packed with a diversity of styles.
Fashion? From fabulous Worth Avenue where top international designers
join forces with extraordinary jewelers to our latest gem, the “Royal”
occupying the Poinciana Plaza, you will not need to go to any fashion
week, anywhere. The latest arrival of Italian specialty stores, along with
famed names like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Ferragamo and Hermès, every
fashion fantasy can become reality.
Food? Culinary delights are everywhere. Whether traveling south a bit
to one of our oceanfront hotels, The Four Seasons, Tidelines and Eau, or sticking close to town, the variety of epicurean
delights will dazzle. Asian, Italian, Mediterranean, vegetarian, Mexican or Continental, you’re sure to find
just the right plate to satisfy any palate.
Frolics? The ocean calls for relaxation and peace. The intracoastal waterway is a delightful way to explore the island
all the way up to the inlet where massive yachts and cargo pass. There are parks with fanciful sculptures (look for the
dolphins on South Ocean). Meet world leaders at the Four Arts. Let Pan welcome you to a secret garden showcasing
a wide variety of Florida plantings.
Entertainment? Music and dancing are everywhere. Visit the hotels and famous watering holes like the Leopard
Lounge, Taboo, The Colony’s Royal Room, HMF at The Breakers Palm Beach. Take a tour of Worth Avenue.
Education? One of the most outstanding institutions on island is the Society of the Four Arts. With a profusion
of lectures, art exhibitions, classes and beautiful gardens, you can develop talents and expand your mind at leisure.
Architecture? From the hotels to private homes and public buildings, you can experience a virtual time line of architectural
styles. From the homey to the fanciful, the island is filled with follies of a bygone era, carefully preserved.
Welcome to paradise – a small gem of history and beauty and exceptional experiences. Enjoy!
