Palm Beach Island Guide
Palm Beach Island offers one of the most concentrated collections of luxury experiences in the United States. Whether you are a seasonal resident, a first-time visitor, or a long-time island regular, there is always something new to discover. Here is our guide to making the most of Palm Beach Island.
Worth Avenue is one of the great shopping streets of the world -- a pedestrian promenade lined with more than 200 boutiques, galleries, and restaurants. Cartier, Gucci, Hermès, Lilly Pulitzer, Tiffany & Co., and dozens of fine jewelry and art galleries make Worth Avenue a destination in itself. The hidden vias -- the charming Mediterranean-style courtyards branching off the main street -- are not to be missed.
Even if you are not staying at The Breakers, the resort's public spaces and restaurants are worth a visit. The historic lobby, the oceanfront pool terrace, and HMF bar are all open to non-guests. The resort hosts major events, galas, and cultural programs throughout the season that are open to the community.
One of Florida's finest art museums, the Norton houses an exceptional permanent collection spanning American, European, Chinese, and contemporary art. The museum underwent a major expansion in 2019 and regularly hosts world-class temporary exhibitions. An essential stop for any serious art enthusiast visiting Palm Beach County.
Just 20 miles west of Palm Beach Island, the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington hosts the world's premier polo season from January through April. Sunday matches draw Palm Beach's social elite and are as much a social event as a sporting one. Palm Beach Private Rides is the preferred way to arrive -- no parking hassle, door-to-door service, and we'll have champagne waiting when you return.
Whitehall, Henry Flagler's 1902 Gilded Age mansion, is now one of the finest house museums in the United States. The 75-room Beaux Arts palace tells the story of the man who built Florida, and the Flagler Kenan Pavilion houses his private railroad car. A fascinating and beautiful piece of American history right on the island.
The island is small but parking is notoriously difficult, especially during the winter season. Palm Beach Private Rides provides the perfect solution -- door-to-door service to every destination on this list, with no parking stress and no surge pricing. Our Executive Membership at $299/month is designed for residents who want priority access to the island's best experiences without the transportation headache.
Palm Beach Private Rides takes you to dinner, the club, or the airport in a luxury vehicle with a professional chauffeur. No surge pricing, ever.
