Palm Beach. Overview.
Summer, between mid April and mid November is the best value for money in this spotless island resort with its perfect ocean views because the rich tend to stay away then. The mega rich inhabitants make Palm Beach very expensive for the rest of us during the winter months because they descend into their mansions for the warm weather, anxious to avoid the mere mortals of the mainland. This glamorous seductive resort sets the stage between November and Mid April, for the stars of stage, screen, sport and capitalism at its most shameless to organise charity balls, play polo, spend loads of money on themselves to give the impression they do nothing but organise charity events. Comparing the size of one another’s yachts, stunning architecture and refurbishments of their mansions is another important pastime for them.
Walking around Addison Mizner’s Palatial Mediterranean style architecture of courtyards plazas and arcades is like walking through a dream as you take in the splendour and beauty of the 1920’s architecture. The residential area in the town of Palm Beach is full of attractions such as classic cars driving by, hotshot designer stores and is a great place to window shop. There are many buildings and areas to be seen around Palm Beach Town.
The little bridges, sweet narrow streets, statues and fountains have charmed every kind of tourist whatever their budget, background or holiday intentions.
