Proclaimed a “veritable paradise” by Florida Atlantic coast developer Henry Flagler in 1893, West Palm Beach was to be the commercial city and worker residences for his resort town creation of Palm Beach. Today, you can still expect to find that veritable paradise of sunny skies, swaying palms and beautiful yachts cruising the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). 

From Jupiter to Boca, boaters can enjoy a wide variety of waterfront restaurants and activities such as swimming, snorkeling and picnicking at Peanut Island Park, nature viewing at Manatee Lagoon at Riviera Beach and diving and snorkeling at Phil Foster Park and the world-renowned Great Heron Bridge.
