Palm Beach, Florida Holidays

Florida at its most opulent
Palm Beach offers an astonishing insight into the world of America’s rich and famous: the very epitome of Florida glamour, opulence and excess. Palm Beach Island is the most famous of a series of exclusive resorts on the Gold Coast north of Miami stretching from Boca Raton to Tequesta. The Palm Beach area has a reputation for luxury hotels and a cosmopolitan atmosphere. Part of the fun of Palm Beach is visiting a string of distinctly upmarket resorts like Delray Beach, Lake Worth and Boynton Beach. The Palm Beach area has around 45 miles of superb sandy beaches.

Palm Beach Island and West Palm Beach
Palm Beach Island is a tremendous spot for observing the fantastically rich and famous, filthily rich teenagers, astonishing cars and celebrity restaurants. Palm Beach Island also boasts ludicrously opulent mansions, exclusive boutiques and glitzy clubs. Most beaches on Palm Beach island are exclusively private. Determined sunbathers should head for public Palm Beach beaches at Midtown Beach and Ocean Boulevard. For all but the richest visitors a holiday in Palm Beach will most likely be based in West Palm Beach on the mainland, with its enjoyably lively and rather more affordable nightlife. Palm Beach can offer cultural gratification with superb galleries, theatres and museums. Children on holiday in Palm Beach will enjoy the zoo and safari park.

Wildlife and beaches
Away from the glamour Palm Beach can offer some surprisingly interesting wildlife and nature, with turtle spotting at Juno Beach and the fascinating Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. Beaches in the Palm Beach area boast the golden sand that gave this stretch of Florida coast its name. For unspoilt beaches head for the John D.Macarthur Beach State Park. The area also offers a veritable paradise for golfers of all levels on some of the finest golf courses in Florida. Your holiday could also include scuba diving and exciting deep-sea fishing.

Weather in Palm Beach

Palm Beach is one of the warmest regions of Florida with daytime temperatures rarely dropping below 20C throughout the year. Average temperatures range from 24C-32C over the whole 12 months meaning that Palm Beach weather is some of the most consistent to be found anywhere. The reliable temperatures and promise of sunshine are what keeps the rich and famous, among many other visitors, flocking to Palm Beach year round.
