Palm Beach, Florida has some of the nation's most impressive mansions and estates. In fact, tourists are known to simply drive around in awe. Not surprisingly, then, accommodations in Palm Beach are known for their exclusivity, and for catering to the whims of the wealthy.
Vacation homes are popular here. Indeed, the entire place sometimes has the feel of being one big resort. Activities and attractions include the standard beach-going, tennis-playing, and golf club-swinging, but you can also go nightclubbing in West Palm Beach or check out the art scene.
The galleries, the architecture, the history, and the Norton Museum of Art make a Palm Beach vacation a cultural treat. Boosters describe the weather as picture perfect every day, although thunderstorms are a fact of life. The boosters are right though, in the sense that much of Palm Beach is simply too picturesque not to deserve multiple rolls of vacation photos.
Palm Beach is also close to a number of other cities in Florida, including Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton. If you're in the mood for a day trip or two, you can head out to the Seminole Indian Reservation or drive to Boca Raton for an exploration of the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center there. Another kind of day trip can be had for those who like to bicycle along the 10-mile Lake Trail in Palm Beach.
