There's a reason why people flock to Florida for vacations every year---the beautiful beaches, art deco architecture, a melting pot of culture, dining for every taste, and unparalleled hotels. West Palm Beach is the jewel in the crown of Florida beach communities. More than just sun and surf, the area is home to City Place, West Palm Beach's best example of gentrification. Then there's Clematis Street, West Palm Beach's historic shopping venue. And of course there is golf, one of the most popular pastimes in the state. Local public 18-hole courses include the Lone Pine Golf Club, North Palm Beach Country Club and the Fairways Golf Club. Relax at an oceanfront hotel after enjoying all that West Palm Beach has to offer.
