LOCAL ATTRACTIONS IN THE PALM BEACHES

Moving to the Palm Beaches or just looking to explore the area? Let me share some of my personal favorite spots that make living here truly special. From relaxing beaches to world-class shopping, the Palm Beaches offer something for everyone. Here are a few local gems I always recommend!

Brightline Train – Easy Travel Around South Florida

The Brightline Train is one of my top picks for hassle-free travel. Whether you’re heading down to Miami for the weekend or planning a trip to Orlando, Brightline gets you there fast and in comfort. It's a game-changer for anyone who loves exploring South Florida but dreads the long drives.

Pro Tip: Check out their frequent rider program if you’ll be using it regularly—it can save you a lot in the long run!

South Florida Fairgrounds – Year-Round Entertainment

I love the South Florida Fairgrounds for the sheer variety of events they host. From concerts to craft fairs and, of course, the annual South Florida Fair, there’s always something exciting happening here. It’s family-friendly and a great spot to check out some local culture.

Juno Beach – A Slice of Paradise

When I need a peaceful escape, I head to Juno Beach. It’s not as crowded as some of the other beaches, making it perfect for a relaxing day by the ocean. Plus, it’s a great spot for sea turtle sightings during nesting season! If you’re looking to unwind with a good book and some ocean breeze, Juno Beach won’t disappoint.

Ballpark of the Palm Beaches – Sports and Fun

If you’re a baseball fan, this is a must-visit. The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches is home to Major League Baseball spring training for teams like the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals. Even if you’re not into sports, the atmosphere is always fun, and it’s a great way to spend a sunny afternoon.

Palm Beach Outlets – Shopping Spree

I have to mention Palm Beach Outlets—it’s my go-to spot for shopping! You can score fantastic deals on top brands, and the outdoor mall layout makes it a pleasant place to wander around on a nice day. If you’re like me and love finding great discounts, you’ll appreciate this spot.

Good Samaritan Medical Center – Top-Notch Healthcare

Let’s not forget practicalities! Having reliable healthcare nearby is important, and Good Samaritan Medical Center is one of the best in the area. With excellent doctors and top-tier medical facilities, it’s reassuring to know you have access to quality care.

PGA National – For Golf Lovers

The PGA National Resort & Spa is a world-class golf destination. Even if you’re not an avid golfer, it’s worth visiting for the stunning views and luxurious amenities. If you love the sport, though, this will quickly become one of your favorite places in the Palm Beaches.

The Gardens Mall – A Luxury Shopping Experience

For those who enjoy high-end shopping, The Gardens Mall is a must-visit. With upscale stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, Louis Vuitton, and Tiffany & Co., it’s the perfect place for some retail therapy. It’s also a great spot to grab lunch while you’re out shopping.

Mounts Botanical Garden – Nature's Retreat

For a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle, Mounts Botanical Garden offers 14 acres of tropical and subtropical plants. It’s a beautiful spot for a leisurely walk or a family picnic, and it’s also a great place to learn about native Florida plants.

Everyday Eats – My Go-To Restaurants

I’m a big fan of local, no-fuss dining spots, and the Palm Beaches have plenty of them. Whether I’m grabbing pizza, stopping by a cozy diner, or ordering Chinese takeout, there are so many great options for casual dining. Some of my favorites include Pizza Al Fresco and Howley’s Diner—both offer delicious food with a friendly local vibe.

Rapids Water Park – Fun for the Family

For family fun or just cooling off during a hot Florida day, Rapids Water Park is an exciting option. With water slides, a lazy river, and wave pools, it’s the largest water park in the area and a hit with both kids and adults.

Norton Museum of Art – Culture and Creativity

If you're in the mood for some culture, the Norton Museum of Art features an impressive collection of American, European, and Chinese art. They also host regular exhibits and events, making it a perfect destination for art lovers and curious visitors alike.
