Clematis Street District: Also in West Palm Beach, the emphasis here is less on national retailers and more on art galleries, jewelry stores, interior design galleries, cafés, pubs and dining, particularly the alfresco variety. Thursday night is Clematis by Night, part of which is an outdoor concert series in Centennial Square.
Mizner Park: This Boca Raton district, which surrounds a Mediterranean-style courtyard, is anchored by Jacobson's, an upscale department store. There are also art and jewelry dealers, a multiplex theater, an amphitheater and numerous gourmet shops and restaurants.
The Gardens of the Palm Beaches: A "megamall" in Palm Beach Gardens with 1.35 million square feet, it is also reportedly the only place in the world to feature Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Burdines, Macy's and Sears in one location.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
Beaches: With forty-seven miles of shoreline and winter water temperatures in the seventies, the beaches of Palm Beach County are justifiably famous. In addition to hotel waterfronts, visitors can enjoy thirteen seaside parks, including the two-and-a-half-mile-long beach at John D. MacArthur State Park on Singer Island and the sixty-seven acres of sand at Red Reef Park in Boca Raton.
Fishing: Try your hand at bass fishing in Lake Okeechobee, the second largest freshwater lake in the U.S., or go deep-sea fishing with one of the numerous area outfitters. Check with your hotel concierge for both.
