The Palm Beaches
The Palm Beaches bring together 15 distinct districts – 12 featuring shopping and dining, two focused on eco-adventures and one containing the Convention Centre and surrounding entertainment. Located up and down the coast and west out to Lake Okeechobee, each district offers a completely unique experience, culture and collection of events for visitors. Enjoy unique experiences such as full-moon bike rides along some of Riverbend Park’s 15 miles of trails, an up-close animal encounter at Lion Country Safari and interact with the turtles at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s special rehabilitation facility.
With more than 47 miles of Atlantic coastline and countless waterways, there is an abundance of water-based activities to enjoy. From fishing, diving and snorkelling to sailing, boating and yachting, the range of on or in-the-water experiences are endless. With an average annual temperature of 75 degrees and ample Florida sunshine, the area’s enviable weather creates an ideal environment for year-round outdoor fun. Close proximity to the Gulf Stream means comfortable ocean temperatures as well, making the Atlantic waters warm for bathers and extra clear for divers. For a day on the water, an abundance of marinas up and down the Intracoastal Waterway makes docking a yacht or chartering a boat a simple task.
So explore everything The Palm Beaches has to offer – an exciting collection of luxury resorts, boutique and trusted-brand hotels, an innovative culinary landscape, trendy shops and a nightlife that thrives year-round.
