Palm Beach: Town Guide to Worth Avenue, Beaches and Island Life

This section covers the town of Palm Beach, the barrier island across the Lake Worth Lagoon from West Palm Beach. It answers the practical questions that come up once you cross one of the bridges: where to park near Worth Avenue or Royal Poinciana Way, how to reach the Lake Trail, and which stretches of sand the public can reach. It also covers town business people ask about, much of it handled out of Town Hall on South County Road.

Each guide puts the answer first, then walks through the steps and what you need to have ready. Parking rules, permits and seasonal hours change, so we send you to the Town of Palm Beach's own pages to confirm the current details.

For more sand and shade around the county, see our beaches and parks hub. If Whitehall has you in a museum mood, our South Florida attractions guides have more places worth a ticket.
