Things To Do
Worth Avenue
For an aesthetic day of shopping, this beautiful street is filled with storefronts that look like they are straight out of Europe. The ‘Via Parigi’ entrance is especially stunning and worth checking out, as well as the Worth Avenue Clock Tower.
The Church of Bethesda-By-The-Sea
After you’ve soaked up all of the rays you can handle, head back to your room for a quick break and then head to The Church of Bethesda-By-The-Sea for an afternoon of sightseeing and perfect photography backdrops. This stunning church was built in the early 20th century, with lovely architectural design elements that will leave you speechless.
Peanut Island
For a half day or more of sun and water, you’ve got to check out Peanut Island! We rented kayaks and snorkeling gear from Get Wet Watersports - then paddled our way over to Peanut Island.
We spent the day snorkeling, swimming, and lounging on the beach. Make sure you bring plenty of sunscreen, water, snacks, and more - there are no shops on the island!
The Square
Afterwards, make sure to head over to The Square for the rest of your afternoon. This beautiful outdoor shopping area is filled with great shops, restaurants, and more. Also, don’t miss out on the LED Tree that was previously the Tree of Tenere at Burning Man before it ended up here in Palm Beach!
Society of the Four Arts Botanical Garden
For a relaxing and chill activity, get dressed and head to the Society of the Four Arts. Start with a stroll around their gorgeous Botanical Garden, complete with wide open spaces that are perfect for doing yoga, meditating, or simply lounging and soaking in the calming environment.
Croquet Lesson
If you’re an early riser, you can also catch a free Croquet Lesson on Saturdays at 10 am with a reservation at Croquet National. We know many of you probably haven’t played croquet before, but we promise it’s a ton of fun!
Serenity Garden Tea House
Afterward, have lunch at the Serenity Garden Tea House in the Four Arts complex. They have a variety of teas and freshly made food, perfect for an afternoon hangout session in a bygone era!
Municipal Beach
The Municipal Beach is a beautiful white sand beach that is low-key and quiet. It’s the perfect spot for swimming, lounging, or simply taking a nap in the sun. I found it to be surprisingly not crowded, given how nice the beach was.
S Ocean Blvd
For an architectural treat, take a drive or walk down S Ocean Blvd from the Worth Avenue Clock Tower to Mar-a-Lago. You’ll be able to admire the beautiful houses and shopping streets, and you’re sure to be overwhelmed by all of the beauty Palm Beach has to offer.

If you’ve worked up an appetite, head to Lola 41 for dinner from the 41st parallel. This delicious restaurant offers a variety of amazing dishes from different cuisines, but our taste buds were especially delighted by the Japanese food.
We got the Truffle Scallop Crudo, Hoka Sake Roll, Yutaka Roll, Unagi, Sake, and Hamachi Unagi for dinner, and the Tres Leches for dessert.
It’s a really beautiful place with friendly service; you’re sure to love it. For drinks, we recommend the Lola Frose and Lola’s Rum Punch - you can thank us later!
Galley
Located inside the West Palm Beach Hilton, Galley is an award winning restaurant and is ranked #1 on Tripadvisor. Accordingly, they have impeccable service combined with delicious food!
Our favorites were the Baba Ganoush (the Sesame bread that comes with it is amazing) and Grilled Street Corn - definitely worth trying! There’s also the Braised Wagyu Short Rib which was seriously on point.
The Regional
Regional, a James Beard award-winning restaurant, is a must for foodies and high-end cuisine lovers. We loved their Octopus La Plancha, Low Country Boil, and wood-fired pizzas.
RH West Palm
Last but not least is RH West Palm. It’s a gorgeous place with an amazing interior. Make sure to try their lobster roll with fries; it’s the definition of a perfect lunch.
No matter what style of food you prefer, Palm Beach has something for everyone - from classic seafood to interesting fusion cuisine. Bon Appétit!
