ABOUT PALM BEACH
With palm trees lining the streets, a remembrance of the Providencia shipwreck in 1878, the Town of Palm Beach provides a friendly welcome to visitors from around the corner and around the world. While only 14 miles long and 1/2 mile in width, the island is filled with history and legends and fantastic things to see and do every day of the year.
From its rustic founding, the Town has grown into a year-round community with a diverse population. Small-town appeal with an international profile, Palm Beach has everything. Charming neighborhoods, three distinct retail districts, schools, parks beaches - and three bridges to the main land to a newly revived urban center and state of the art cultural venues.
