This is snowbird heaven. West Palm Beach is a city of unsurpassed beauty, from the sub-tropical waterfront location, vibrant downtown for shopping, exciting dining experiences, sophisticated nightlife, luxurious apartments, and of course, miles and miles of beaches.
It offers a vast range of international and contemporary leisure and recreation amenities. In the West Palm Beach area you will find the winter homes of the well heeled and the rich and famous.
When Henry Morrison Flagler first came here in 1893, he called the Lake Worth region a veritable paradise and decided upon a dual plan for the area. He would turn Palm Beach into a resort and he would build a commercial city across the lake for his workers. That "worker city" would become beautiful West Palm Beach.
The City of West Palm Beach is known for its sunny palm-lined street, scenic waterfront views, quaint shopping districts, historic neighborhoods, year-round outdoor festivals, elegance and luxurious comfort are the hallmarks of this slice of paradise. Everyone loves the Downtown Retail and Entertainment District, a hip and happening urban enclave of trendy clubs. A historic walking tour of Worth Avenue is a great adventure.
In winter the snowbirds are happy because southern Florida is one of the warmest places on the U.S. mainland. The fantastic subtropical climate, with its year-round warmth and sunshine is the result of the Atlantic Gulf Stream that approaches the Palm Beach County coast closer than anywhere in the nation, giving a moderate 78 degrees climate throughout the year.
West Palm Beach, also known as West Palm, is the most populous city in Palm Beach County, Florida, USA. Exits on both I-95 and the Florida Turnpike run the entire length of Palm Beach County, connecting you to the east and west exits.
Palm Beach County is blessed with some of the greatest fishing in the world. The warm, fertile waters of the Atlantic's Gulf Stream are closer here than anywhere else in the United States - literally a ten minute boat ride. Sailfish are routinely caught within sight of the beach.
Escape to invigorating sunshine, pleasant temperatures, a slice of paradise.
West Palm Beach is truly a warm winter haven for the winter weary. |
