Where to Chill in Palm Beach After a Day of Fun in the Sun

Summertime and the livin’ is easy… especially if you fill your days with sun, sand, and surf on Palm Beach’s 18 miles of quiet, stunning beaches. But the fun doesn’t have to stop when you’re ready to venture off-sand — here’s where to hang in Palm Beach after a day at the beach.

Worth Avenue
First, head over to Worth Avenue, one of Palm Beach’s most iconic streets. Known for its luxury shopping and elegant ambiance, Worth Avenue is perfect for a leisurely stroll. Here, you’ll find high-end boutiques, art galleries, and quaint courtyards. Grab a gelato at Piccolo Gelato to cool off while you window-shop or visit one of the local art galleries for a touch of culture.

The Breakers
If you’re in the mood for a cocktail, make your way to HMF at The Breakers. This sophisticated lounge offers an old-world glamour with a modern twist. Their extensive cocktail menu features everything from classic martinis to innovative mixology creations. Pair your drink with some delectable small plates and enjoy the chic, vibrant atmosphere.

Bradley Park
One of the biggest draws of picture-perfect Palm Beach is its great outdoors. After a day spent enjoying its glittering shores, bring it home with another gem of the island, Bradley Park. Either sit a spell and enjoy the pristine landscaping and monuments of this recently restored historic park, or use the park as your jumping-off point for a sunset stroll or bike ride along Lake Trail, every Palm Beacher’s favorite off-road via.

Green’s Pharmacy
Life can get complicated, but there’s something about the simple pleasure of a rich, ice-cold milkshake that delivers you straight to bliss. After a day in the sun (as long as you call it quits by 3 p.m.), pop into the former 82-seat classic soda fountain at good old Green’s luncheonette for the most memorable milkshake on the island.

The Royal
A stop at The Royal Poinciana Plaza on the way to the beach — to pick up a sandwich or smoothie from Celis — or on the way back for a quick burger and fries at Honor Bar is one of the most natural routines in Palm Beach. Visit Sant Ambroeus for an authentic Italian aperitivo, complete with spritz cocktails and light bites. The outdoor seating area is perfect for people-watching and enjoying the warm evening air.

Field of Greens
Keeping it casual? Grab a salad and green juice at Field of Greens on Royal Poinciana Way. It’s one of the few places in Palm Beach where you can show up salty and sunkissed (and, okay, maybe barefoot and shirtless) and not be turned away. Sit outside or at the café tables out front for a bit of people-watching, then cool down at neighboring Sprinkles Ice Cream with a sweet summertime scoop. (ilovefog.com)

Whether you’re looking for sophistication, relaxation, or lively entertainment, Palm Beach has something to offer everyone. So after your beach day, explore these local gems and make the most of your time in this beautiful coastal paradise.
