From shipwreck to Palm Beach County’s crown jewel
America’s first resort destination, the Palm Beaches, began with a shipwreck. In 1878, a Spanish barque named Providencia ran aground on the 18-mile island that would one day become the town of Palm Beach. The vessel’s cargo – some 20,000 coconuts – provided the foundation for the beautiful coconut grove that caught the eye of oil tycoon Henry Flagler and led him to build a hotel there in the 1890s.
Today, Serena Williams, James Patterson, Jon Bon Jovi, Donald Trump and many other celebrities own property in town. But despite its star-studded population, this city of about 9,000 maintains a sense of small-town charm with a quaint downtown and tranquil oceanfront. “It’s classy, elegant old Florida… Great restaurants, great beaches,” says resident Richard Heller, a Realtor with United Realty Group.
The Palm Beach Town Hall is a historic site in the city, located on South County Road.

A small downtown around Worth Avenue
“Worth Avenue is Palm Beach’s Rodeo Drive,” Heller says. “Behind the storefronts are little alleyways with restaurants and shops and outdoor seating. It feels like you’re in Italy.” Palm Beach’s small downtown is a walkable, Mediterranean Revival-style strip on the island’s west side, down the street from the town marina. Its towering palm trees offer shade between local businesses, which range from art galleries and boutiques to patio cafes and upscale eateries. Pedestrians can stroll past the storefronts and stucco arches to the beach, where the Worth Avenue Clock Tower stands tall.

Harborside living is the main event in North Palm Beach. Whether occupying a ranch-style home, Mediterranean Revival villa, or high-rise luxury condo, residents are steps away from the Intracoastal. <br><br>Condominiums like Palm Beach House, Regency Surf & Racquet Club and Placido Mar sit on the water, offering breathtaking views of the cerulean water. <br><br>Fishing is a popular pastime at Brian H. Chappell Park’s pier. And boating is another standout activity in North Palm Beach, with some yacht owners opting to join Safe Harbor Rybovich. The uniquely designed resort-style facility provides unobstructed deep-water access and secure berths for yachts. There’s also the members-only Palm Beach Sailing Club, which offers lessons, regattas and cruise outings. <br><br>Many residents prefer to merely watch the boats sail by from the scenic benches at Gettler Park. Others may go for a run at Osprey Park under the shade of mango trees while keeping an eye out for the park’s namesake native birds. Fogleman Park offers recreation through multipurpose fields, a basketball court and a playground. Florence De George Boys and Girls Club provides neighborhood youths with programs and recreation.<br> <br>Bravo Supermarket is a down-to-earth grocery store offering items sourced from Latin America. The neighborhood also has several convenience stores for quick shopping, and there's a Walgreens, too. <br><br>For a bite in the area, Jacintos Kitchen is a popular pizza joint. North Palm Beach is also just 4 miles from high-end shopping, fine dining and art museums -- but far enough away to avoid the touristy noise.
