If you are in WPB and just need a place to kick back and chill and kill a few hours, its a perfect place to go. The time is cheap and the beers are good too. We stayed till like 8, and a band came in and started playing. The lead singer was a girl, and the band was pretty cool so we stayed for their first set, and actually told our other friends from the area to go there. Seems like an all walks of life kinda place, but everyone there was cool, got along, and seemed like a place like cheers, everybody knows your name! Check it out if you like to play pool or lookin to hear a good band play.

It is a Chic commercial district, with lots of nice restaurants, bars, shops/department stores (Macy's) and an IMAX cinema.

Parking is a headache, suggest to part in the CityPalace Garage, $1 per hour ($6 max.)

My family and I loved going to Adventure Times Kayak. The owner Steve got us all set up with the gear. They rent various types and brands of sea kayaks. They even have new ones from Hobie Cat that you peddle, instead of paddling. It was great, next time we are going on a guided eco tour to Mutton Island and Peanut Island. My family is not the biggest outdoors kind of group, but they had the best time ever. I highly recommend this if you’re down on holiday or just live there locally. I feel this is a new activity that I can partake in for the rest of my life.
