West
Palm Beach is the northern metropolitan city to Ft. Lauderdale.
The reason it is called West Palm Beach is that there is an island to
the east of the city called "Palm Beach", which is known as
the Beverly Hills of Florida.
If
you are interested in great restaurants, high-end shopping, and a mature
nightlife, this is the town for you. Worth Street in
West Palm Beach has the most upscale, high-end shopping you will find
anywhere in Florida.
For
the mature crowd, we recommend CityPlace. Elaborately
decorated buildings and sparkling fountains abound in this modern and
upscale conglomeration of nightclubs, shops, and restaurants.
Of
course, every culture has its antithesis, and that is why West Palm is
also home to famous Clematis Street, an active, energetic
and youthful nightlife. The younger crowd frequents the countless clubs,
bars, and restaurants up and down this main drag in downtown West Palm.

the Beaten Path" section!
If
you are interested in golf, this is also the world capitol. Nearby Palm
Beach Gardens is home to the PGA courses, perhaps the
finest golf in all of the world.
At
only a 40 minute drive to the north, West Palm is an accessible destination
for a day trip. You can easily visit and return to your hotel without
much hassle.
...All
points inbetween!
There are also many points of interest between Ft. Lauderdale and West
Palm in lower Palm Beach County. Mizner Park in Boca
Raton offers more of the finest in upscale, high-end shopping, while nearby
Delray Beach offers quaint sidewalk coffee shops, bars,
and great restaurants. Lake Worth has fantastic nightlife
and live music. All of these seaside destinations feature some of the
most incredible beaches in all of Florida.
