West Palm Beach, Florida travel advice

Home to America's rich and famous for nearly a century, West Palm Beach and nearby Palm Beach, provide the most luxurious version of the relaxing Floridian lifestyle. It’s a vacation spot in its own right, offering travelers an array of away-from-the-shore attractions and rental options for all budgets. 

While the rest of the country battles snowstorms, residents of West Palm Beach relax by the water and soak up Florida's year-round sunshine. And despite the area's tradition of catering to glamorous, designer-decorated clientele, Palm Beach's shores and West Palm's historical neighborhoods appeal to many types. In fact, the famous clientele is part of the city's allure.

Climate

To avoid the hottest temperatures and biggest crowds, the best times to visit West Palm Beach are at the end of spring (April to May) and the beginning of fall (September to October). You'll be greeted by temperatures that fluctuate between the mid-60s and high 80s while avoiding peak airfare and hotel rates. Families will flood the area when school is out during the summer, and in winter, older part-time residents (or "snowbirds") will resettle in the area to escape the North's cooler temperatures. Keep in mind, though, that Florida's hurricane season comes in the fall, so weather could be an issue at this time.

Top activities and attractions in West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach offers some of the best outdoor activities in Florida – think biking and paddleboarding in Okeeheelee Park, canoeing and hiking in Grassy Waters Preserve and golfing at West Palm Beach Golf Course. There's also plenty of top-notch scuba diving, polo and fishing in West Palm's neighboring cities.
If you want to see some of the nation’s top musical entertainment, time your visit for SunFest – Florida’s largest waterfront music festival.

And downtown West Palm Beach is home to four retail and entertainment districts: Clematis Street, CityPlace, Northwood Village, and Antique Row. These vibrant pieces of West Palm Beach are lined with fashionable bars, nightclubs, boutiques and collectables.

Also of note in West Palm Beach are the Norton Museum of Art, which offers sculpture and other masterworks, the Palm Beach Zoo, and events at the downtown Kravis Center for the Performing Arts.

Restaurants and Bars

West Palm Beach's restaurant options are endless. With such close proximity to the water, West Palm cuisine relies heavily on fresh seafood like grouper and shrimp, two of the area's most popular items. For a true taste of West Palm's seafood scene, try grabbing a bite at a local favorite like Tin Fish on Clematis Street or Bimini Twist in the Golden Lakes neighborhood.

In addition to the area's variety of seafood joints, ethnic restaurants are a crowd favorite. Italian, Mexican and Greek are especially popular here. For authentic Greek fare, try Agora Mediterranean Kitchen, which serves up Greek and Mediterranean classics like dolma (stuffed grape leaves), hummus (a chickpea dip served with pita) and baklava (a sweet layered pastry with nuts). When craving Mexican, locals flock to Rocco's Tacos and Tequila Bar on Clematis Street. And for a taste of Italy, try CityPlace's Il Bellagio, where you can savor Italian specialties like pasta e fagioli (a Tuscan white bean and pasta soup) and linguine vongole (linguine with clams in a white wine or tomato sauce). You'll also find top-notch Cuban throughout the region thanks to the state's proximity to Cuba.
