Henry Flagler's 73-room mansion which contains many of the original furnishings as well as an art collection.
Reviewed By JHLuvtotravel - Staten Island, New York
My friends and I visited the gorgeous Flagler Museum and we weren't disappointed. Henry Flagler was a extremely interesting man who used his great riches to make Florida the place to visit in the early 1900's. Not only did he create train travel to Florida but he also built wonderful hotels, hospitals and churches. Certainly a man with a vision for what Florida would become.

When our sister-in-law told us she had promised her sons to bring them outdoor skating on REAL ICE in southern Florida, we were intrigued. Off we went, various aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins, piled into cars, to Hoffman's Christmas Wonderland. Parking was well organized...MoreThanks so much for joining us for the holidays. Come back for one of our chocolate making classes!

Plenty of paid parking, so if you get a spot and feed the machine you are set for the day. There's a great park adjacent to the beach, with shade trees for napping under and tables for picnicking. The beach itself is beautiful; white sand, lots of shells to collect along the water, always clean, with posted info about ocean conditions, temperatures, what kinds of fishies might be stinging you today, and when not to swim. There is always a volleyball game going on. The pier is a favorite spot, with the great restaurant and bar Benny's On the Beach in case you get thirsty or hungry. Everyone comes here, it's a true public beach full of happy people. Across the street, there is an Olympic sized public pool that we went to for years, for only a few dollars a day. It has been having its ups and downs, and was drained the last time we came. We sure hope it reopens as it's a treasure if you like to swim laps. Public restrooms in the building remain open for beachgoers, and some shops and restaurants right across the street make this an awesome beach.

Eau Spa Resort in itself is stunning. The grounds, the rooms, the restaurants etc... all beautiful. However the Spa leaves alot to be desired.
Last year we had a 'girls day' there and we all got massages. Very dissappointing. It was my least favorite massage ever, but i chalked it up to "stuff happens", 2 of the other girls were also sorely dissappointed!
Now this year all the girls went again and we all got facials. another flop for 4 out of 5 of us. The facialists rushed through the facial. The rubbing was hard and fast, no chance of relaxing. She was nice enough, but very impatient. The other girls reported a similar experience. Needless to say, we've given up on this spa.
However, the Spa is gorgeous inside, the swinging hammock chairs are cool, yet "very" dirty, they def need new cushions. Some serious yuck factor there. And also the giant hot tub room, very cool. Overall though, would def not go again. Very pricey for sub par service.

The gardens are small, but the plantings and fountains are very pretty. The Japanese garden is located in a separate area and has a beautiful door leading to it. We weren't able to see the sculpture garden because a private event was being held there. Admission was free.

I was pleasantly surprised when we visited this area, to see the small town, small shop
atmosphere. After reading very negative things about Lake Worth in general, I was delighted to see that the east end of the town is alive and well and seems to be thriving.
Because it was evening and we did not have the opoortunity to visit many shops, I cannot say whether or not the prices are reasonable but it looked so inviting that I plan to make another visit soon and check out the area in greater detail.
8. Lake Trail

Scenic hiking and biking trail.
Reviewed By Saluga - Wading River, New York
The Lake Trail is paved and about five miles one way. The Lake is on one side and multi million dollar mansions are on the other. There were so many interesting things to see along the way. Different types of doors leading to private piers where yachts are docked, palm trees with coconuts, and beautiful flowering shrubs and plants. There are benches along the way where you can stop and take in the view. Sunscreen and water are a must since most of the trail is in the sun, and there are no restrooms. We parked for free near the Society of The Four Arts and just walked a few blocks to pick up the southern portion of the trail.

We chose the Nature Center and its trails for today's visit to this park. It is so large families would need to divide the area and do a different activity on each day. The Nature Center had small exhibits, some especially designed for children. Numerous paved trails allowed us to enjoy the quiet and peaceful pine forests. There are also more rugged trails for the adventurer. There is also a deer and wildlife enclosure on the path plus a couple of natural ponds with plenty of birds to observe. This was the itinerary for our first visit, but there are soccer fields, a dog park, baseball diamonds, picnic pavilions. miles of walking trails, a couple of lakes, playgrounds. and most likely something else fun to do. Florida is very good about including recreational opportunities in planning the growth of communities, but this park is especially outstanding. The price is right--admission is free.

The Palm Beach equivalent of Beverly Hills' Rodeo Drive.
Reviewed By ChanEvan - Memphis, Tennessee
THE Most Prestigious Retail Address . . . This side of LA’s Rodeo Drive!
More Strollers than Buyers, Worth Avenue is prime people-watching territory. Never know WHO you will see parking that Ferrari or Bentley & dashing into Chanel or Jimmy Choo
It’s “Worth” the Time Investment, IMO. Eye Candy Galore. & Almost every vehicle parked on the street is “Worth” a double-take too, if you’re a Car/Motorcycle Buff like Me!
There are sidewalk benches & also seats in the Esplanade to take a break, & clean well-maintained Restrooms, of course. Enjoy!!!
You can see the iconic Clock Tower from a good distance, where Worth Avenue meets the Waterfront. Another walk opp in either direction to catch the breezes / hear the waves / watch people having Fun in the Florida Sun ☀️
