Florida Travels in West Palm Beach
The Conde Nast Traveler magazine recently featured a pullout guide section that featured highlights of many popular Florida travels and destinations.
There were sections on South Beach, The Gulf Coast, the Panhandle, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, Key West, the Everglades, and Palm Beach/West Palm Beach. The latter section was subtitled "Battle of the Beaches", and it was an interesting title for West Palm Beach because there is actually no beach there, although it is located in an area called Riviera Beach. The magazine did mention this fact, noting that the only beach in West Palm Beach are small man-made ones at Peanut Island Park. The park was the site of an nuclear bunker built for John F. Kennedy, and features crystal-clear emerald water that is home to grunts, spotted eagle rays, and manatees from November through march.
