Inside Palm Beach
Live like a local and experience the beauty, history and allure that is Palm Beach through three iconic adventures.
WORTH WALKING: Discover the essence of Palm Beach with a visit to legendary Worth Avenue—an enchanting three blocks of upscale shopping and dining that stretches from Lake Worth to the Atlantic Ocean. But beyond showcasing the world’s biggest names in luxury merchandise, its quaint, European, pedestrian “vias” off the main avenue may be its biggest hidden treasure, says Worth Avenue Association Administrator Faith Spencer: “The little vias and gardens that are tucked away off the main street—with their beautiful statues, fountains and foliage—is part of the real magic of Worth Avenue.” Another prized vantage point to experience the Avenue’s cachet is to reserve the front table at Ta-boo.“It’s the only seat with a window and the best place to see and be seen,” advises Spencer. (Note: The Worth Avenue Association hosts guided walking tours every Wednesday from November to April. Visit worth-avenue.com/ worth-avenue-historic-walking-tour.)
BIKE THE LAKE TRAIL: Enjoy the freedom of touring on two wheels past the brightly colored bougainvillea and ivy-draped walls of some of the most exclusive addresses in the world along the 5.5mile Lake Trail. The winding pedestrian roadway, which is ideal for biking, jogging and walking, runs parallel to the Intracoastal Waterway, with views of Palm Beach estates to the east and the West Palm Beach skyline to the west.
CULTURE TRIP: Step back in time with a visit to Whitehall, Henry Morrison Flagler’s spectacular 75-room, 100,000-square-foot Gilded Age mansion with its massive marble columns and distinctive red barrel tiled roof. Flagler was a leading developer of Florida as a tourist destination in the late 19th century.
One of the founders of Standard Oil, he commissioned Whitehall to be built as a wedding present for his third wife, Mary Lily Kenan. It opened as a museum in 1960. Today, the National Historic Landmark hosts docent-led (and self-guided) educational tours, exhibits and special programs.
