Palm Beach Dramaworks is a professional not-for-profit theatre company that engages and entertains audiences with provocative and timeless productions that personally impact each individual. Take a gander at their 2014-2015 season...I checked it out - everything from Zorba the Greek to a Sam Shepard play.

When it was completed in 1902, the New York Herald proclaimed that Whitehall, Henry Flagler's Gilded Age estate in Palm Beach, was "more wonderful than any palace in Europe, grander and more magnificent than any other private dwelling in the world." Today, Whitehall is a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public as the Flagler Museum, featuring guided tours, changing exhibits, and special programs. Come and remember the Guilded Age. They also do great events throughout the year - Easter, Xmas, 4th of July. map

8. Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens
'The gardens contain monumental sculptures built directly in the gardens, for the gardens, which invoke mystery and surprise as you happen upon them while walking through rare palms.  Rarely are we able to see such an idyllic completed picture of an artist’s vision in its true and intended surroundings.  The garden, designed in concert with Sir Peter Smithers, was the last part to Ann Weaver Norton’s concept for her work, her legacy.  The garden represents her commitment to conservation and the preservation of a quiet retreat in the midst of high rises.' map


9. Apoxee Wilderness Trail

A fascinating 4.7-mile day hike showcasing the sheet flow of water through habitats that thrive in humidity and dampness, the Apoxee Wilderness Trail features a mix of boardwalks, crushed limestone, and natural surfaces underfoot on a loop that includes a section of the Owahee Trail, a lengthy berm that runs through all of Grassy Waters Preserve.
