LIVE ON VACATION

Boynton Beach

From the croak of Florida alligators and flutter of great blue herons at the world-famous Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge to relaxing shopping and dining at Renaissance Commons, this eclectic and emerging city offers enjoyment for a broad spectrum of visitors. Boynton Beach has one of the most active outdoor art districts in all of The Palm Beaches, while its ongoing, 16-acre Town Square redevelopment project is breathing new life to a historic downtown, from an amphitheater to a cultural center to a new retail space.

Delray Beach

A three-time All America City winner and the recipient of Rand-McNally’s Most Fun Small Town in America, Delray Beach is famous for its walkable downtown, its quirky public murals and its infinite array of chef-driven restaurants, fashion-forward retailers and free outdoor concerts. Downtown Atlantic Avenue is the place to enjoy all of it, while the Delray Beach Market, just off the beaten path, is the largest food hall in Florida and a destination unto itself. Amid all the bustle, make some time for a visit to the tranquil Zen oasis known as the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens

Boca Raton

The southern Palm Beaches’ linchpin for laid-back luxury, Boca Raton is both resort town and college town, a place where worldly culture and beachy comfort combine. Nestled among historic Mediterranean-revival architecture, Mizner Park and Royal Palm Place offer a bevy of al fresco shopping and dining opportunities. The Boca Raton Museum of Art is one of South Florida’s preeminent art museums, while the Town Center Mall is one of the nation’s great indoor shopping experiences. College football fans, take note: Boca Raton is also home to Florida Atlantic University, which hosts the nationally televised Boca Raton Bowl each December. And, for soaking up the beautiful Florida sunshine, enjoy a round of golf on the award-winning county-run greens at Boca Raton’s Osprey Point Golf Course, with its lush Platinum Paspalum turf.

Lake Okeechobee & The Glades

This earthy region away from it all is your gateway to Lake Okeechobee, the secondlargest freshwater lake in the contiguous United States, with unparalleled bass fishing, bird-watching and airboat tours available to visitors who want a taste of Old Florida. The fun extends just outside of the water, too, with an immersive walk or bike on the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail. For the astronomically inclined, it also features The Palm Beaches’ most unobstructed views of the Milky Way.
