EXPLORE PALM BEACH
DISCOVER OUR FAVORITE NEARBY ATTRACTIONS
Consider this your guide to our little slice of paradise. From The Colony, Palm Beach’s best-loved spots are just a bike ride, stroll, or quick jaunt away.
Head north along the island to The Royal Poinciana Plaza, a lush open-air destination for designer shopping, dining, and a little Palm Beach people-watching. Nearby, step into a piece of Gilded Age history at the Flagler Museum, Henry Flagler’s magnificent former estate, or perfect your swing at The Breakers golf course.
For a dose of culture, wander through the gardens and galleries at The Society of the Four Arts, then make your way to the waterfront for a walk or bike ride along the picturesque Lake Trail, with views of the Intracoastal and some of the island’s most beautiful homes. Just beyond, Palm Beach Marina is the perfect place for a little yacht spotting.
Feeling sporty? Stop by the Seaview Tennis Center for a match, squeeze in a workout at Palm Beach Fitness, or head south toward Everglades Golf. And, of course, no Palm Beach day is complete without a trip to the ocean. Follow Ocean Boulevard to beach access and the iconic Clock Tower, where Worth Avenue meets the sea.
Then make your way home to The Colony Hotel, our pink landmark tucked just steps from Worth Avenue and the Atlantic. Whether your perfect Palm Beach day calls for shopping, tennis, golf, culture, cruising around on one of our bikes, or simply finding a sunny spot by the water, it’s all right in our neighborhood.
“Palm Beach, an island where 25 living billionaires have homes, yacht slips, and club memberships, is buzzier and busier than ever.”
