Palm Beach

A view of the Inter coastal Water way facing West Palm Beach


From time to time you will here of my travels all over the United States. One of the best places I have found is Palm Beach, FL. If you ever have the pleasure of going, here are a few hot spots, and best times to visit.
If you are not someone for crowds, it would be best to visit during the late spring to early fall months. The snow birds will be flocking soon, and you will be left without a place on the beach. There are other beaches in the area such as Lake Worth which has a wonderful pier for fishing if you are strapped for cash for a boat.
If bespoke are your thing, you will find some of the best shops in the world via Worth Ave, but I warn you, you had better be packing a hefty wallet as they tend to be very pricey. One of my favorite places to shop was a thrift store called "The Church Mouse". You wont believe what you can find. Everything from a great smoking jacket, and velvet slippers, to fine china.
The night life is great as well, but you should be young(or young at heart) and leave the kids with the sitter. The night life starts very late, around midnight as they are open much longer, until 5 a.m. Clematis St is the best place to start, as on Thursdays, Friday's, and Saturday's they have one big block party and this would be a great place to take the children before going out.
