Things to do in Palm Beach

  • Grab your morning brew at Drift, a cozy and coastal designed spot in Palm Beach.

  • Rent bikes from Palm Beach Bike Shop or lace up for a scenic walk/run along the Lake Trail (8–8.5 miles round trip), complete with waterfront views and hidden docks.

  • Head across the bridge to Maman at The Square, West Palm: Order the smashed avocado tartine topped with sea salt flakes, crushed red pepper, pumpkin seeds, and a perfect over-medium egg—plus a matcha to go. Trust us.

  • Tee off at Palm Beach Par 3, where the Atlantic and Intracoastal wrap around each hole. Quick-round, unforgettable views.

  • Dine at Flagler Steakhouse, a Breakers institution—refined but not fussy. Don’t skip the chocolate cake—it’s decadent and just oversized enough to count as breakfast tomorrow.

  • Stop at Hive Bakery & Café: Must-order: the crispy breakfast potatoes with aioli, paired with a coastal-inspired browsing session at Hive’s home and lifestyle store.

  • Snorkel at Peanut Island: Kayak or boat over for a few sun-drenched hours. Bring lunch, water, and snorkel gear—no rentals on-site, but restrooms are available.

  • Head to Worth Avenue for upscale window shopping: Pop into the original Lilly Pulitzer store and wander through the Mediterranean-inspired vias.

  • Romantic Italian dining tucked in a dreamy courtyard setting—opt for outdoor seating under the palms if the weather allows.

  • Wrap the evening at a rooftop bar in West Palm—try Spruzzo or Bar Capri for sunset mocktails and yacht-spotting over the marina.

Places to eat & drink in Palm Beach

  • Kabuki – Lunch Special: A local favorite for sushi and Thai, Kabuki offers a weekday lunch special that’s both affordable and delicious. Think fresh rolls, noodles, and bento-style combos with a casual, laid-back vibe on Clematis.

  • Swifty’s at The Colony Hotel: A classic Palm Beach dining scene with vintage glam and poolside charm. Sunday Night Bingo is a must—sip cocktails, enjoy elevated bites, and play under the stars in a lively, retro-chic setting.

  • Sant Ambroeus at The Royal Poinciana Plaza: A refined Italian café perfect for lunch or an afternoon espresso. Fresh pastas, Milanese elegance, and the prettiest outdoor patio make this a go-to for stylish locals and visitors alike.

  • RH Rooftop Restaurant – West Palm: The ultimate ambiance: rooftop dining surrounded by chandeliers, olive trees, and a moody, modern vibe. Great for long lunches and sunset dinners

Need to know

  • Off-season arrives in summer: expect significantly lower hotel and resort rates—ideal for a luxury stay without the high-season price tag.

  • Palm Beach Bike Shop is open Monday–Saturday from 9 am to 5:30 pm, and Sunday 10 am to 4 pm, perfect for grabbing a bike and hitting the Lake Trail early.
