Getting to and getting around Palm Beach

  • Most of the visitors to Palm Beach are probably going to arrive by air. Palm Beach International airport is the most convenient choice for travel to Palm Beach. Fort Lauderdale and Miami airports are other alternatives. There is a commuter train service called Tri-Rail between West Palm Beach and Miami. Travelers arriving at the Miami or Fort Lauderdale airports can use this service to get to Palm Beach. Other alternative transports to get to Palm Beach are Greyhound buses or Amtrak trains from elsewhere in the US. You can of course also drive from elsewhere in the US if you have a rental car and a lot of patience to drive the long distance. When you arrive to Palm Beach then a rental car is the best way to get around like in most places in the US. There is a public bus transport called Palm Tran that connects the cities in Palm Beach county. The web page is http://www.co.palm-beach.fl.us/palmtran. The web page for the Tri-Rail commuter train is http://www.tri-rail.com. There is a trolley service in Palm Beach that runs through the island.

    The Flagler museum

  • Palm Beach Page by mnybondas
  • The Flagler Museum on the Palm Beach island is a good starting point for any visit to Palm Beach. The whole history of Palm Beach is associated with this site. It is also a magnificent building. The Versailles palace in France was an inspiration, when the house was built. It is still the mother of all Palm Beach mansions. Whitehall was a 60,000 square feet house with almost 60 bedrooms. The biggest private residence in Palm Beach county nowadays according to county records has only around 30,000 square feet, so it is quite modest compared to Whitehall ...

    Enjoying the Atlantic Ocean

  • By mnybondas on December 30, 2003
  • Palm Beach Page by mnybondas
  • Many visitors come to South Florida to enjoy the warm weather and the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean. The coastline of the whole Palm Beach county is filled with beautiful beaches. If you want to choose one then perhaps the beach in Delray Beach is a good choice. Delray Beach has a nice downtown along the Atlanctic Avenue that is surrounding the beautiful white sandy beach on the Atlantic Ocean. Other good places to choose for a beach visit are the beaches in Lake Worth, Lantana and Riviera Beach (Singer Island).

  • By mnybondas on December 30, 2003
  • Palm Beach Page by mnybondas
  • There is enough to see and experience in Palm Beach county alone for a life time. Despite of this you might still be interested to visit also neighouring areas like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, the Florida Keys, the Florida west coast area (Naples), the Orlando area and the Kennedy Space Center. Palm Beach is centrally located, so you can easily access any other location in South or Central Florida during a day tour. Also the Grand Bahama island is only 60 miles east of West Palm Beach. The Palm Beach Princess offers gambling cruises leaving from the Palm Beach port in Riviera Beach. Several cruise lines offer cruises to the Eastern or Western Caribbean from the ports in Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

  • South Florida is mostly known for it's beaches. Palm Beach county has beautiful beaches, but it also has shoreline to the biggest lake in Florida, the Okeechobee lake. Lake Okeechobee is a popular fishing destination for South Floridians and the lake area offers beautiful sceneries. Lake Okeechobee can be accessed from Palm Beach by driving westwards towards Belle Glade on the Southern Boulevard from West Palm Beach.

  • The Everglades swamp area is known as the perhaps most important natural wonder in South Florida. A trip to the Everglades is a must for every South Florida visitor who is interested in eco-tours.

    It is 1/4 mile long and completly devoted to the shopping, like Rue Montaigne in Paris (but more luxious and more expensive).
    There are mainly clothing shops, perfumes, antiques, some restaurants. Nothing under 100$ except food.
