The sun is shining. The palms are swaying in the breeze. Welcome to a typical day in The Palm Beaches. In between the action-packed GAUNTLET OF POLO® matches at the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, you will find so much to do here in The Palm Beaches.
#1 Dine at Swank Table
Farmers, ranchers, artisanal producers and chefs from around the state come together to create multi-course al-fresco dinners served family style. Beautiful table settings, live entertainment and craft beverages add to an unforgettable dining experience. Eat, drink and roam the farm’s open fields and experience all that Loxahatchee Groves has to offer.
#2 Golf at PGA National Resort & Spa
The Honda Classic may be over but now you can tee off at one of PGA National Resort & Spa’s championship golf courses just like the pros. From The Champion to The Palmer, these five courses are built to challenge all skill levels amongst stunning nature views. Not on par with a game of golf? Relax and rejuvenate with a day at The Spa and experience the Waters of the World healing mineral pools.
#3 Explore Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens
A quiet retreat from the bustling city, Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens gives you a powerful art experience at every turn. Walk the halls of the artist’s historic home, filled with more than 100 of her expressive pieces. Once outside, venture through the gardens and admire nine monumental sculptures that were created on site throughout the collection of 250 rare palms and tropical plants.
#4 Dive at Blue Heron Bridge *
Follow the underwater snorkel trail at the Blue Heron Bridge, just yards from Peanut Island, which is consistently ranked as one of the best snorkel spots in the United States. The blue waters of Lake Worth Lagoon will entice you to put on your snorkel gear and discover a world of brilliantly colored tropical sea creatures. You never know what you might see until you dive in.
#5 Adventure at the Palm Beach Lake Trail
With iconic scenery and a paved pathway ideal for two wheels, the Palm Beach Lake Trail offers spectacular views of the Intracoastal Waterway and an urban view of the downtown West Palm Beach skyline. Take a break in the shade under the giant Amazonian kapok tree that sits just feet away from the magnificent Flagler Museum. No ride? No worries! Bicycles and skates are available to rent nearby.
