Palm Beach County area recreation

Thinking of renting in the PGA Blvd. to Northlake Blvd. region of 
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida for the season? 
Here's a list of activities around the neighborhood as well as in the 
greater Palm Beach County area to help you plan your stay.


  • Walking Trails - Given the size of each gated community, there are miles of sidewalks and walking trails to explore. Made of gravel, woodchips and asphalt, these routes wind through neighborhoods and meandor around the numerous lakes. Residents can also hop on one of the golf cart paths that make their way through several golf courses and see the neighborhood from the back side. This is a great way to explore the beautiful homes in the evenings.
  • Golf Courses - With the neighboring PGA of America golf headquarters nearby, one can bet there are a number of golfing opportunities just a short drive away. Look at the West Palm Beach Activities website for everything from golf locations and public parks to dive shops and fishing charters, including a detailed map of the area.
  • The Beach - With the ocean just five miles down the road, there's always time to head down to the beach for an afternoon of sunshine or to catch the perfect sunrise. Walk the stretch of sand from Jupiter to Juno Beach in the evening as the sunset turns low-lying clouds to purple and pink. Odds are you'll have most of the beach to yourself!
  • Wine Tastings - There are several liquor stores in the area that put on some great wine tastings each month. Offering between 30 and 80 different labels each tasting, these informal events are a bargain at $5-$10. And they're a great way to add a new 'social hour' to the schedule! From Jupiter south to PGA Blvd., they're offered by Wine Spirits & More, Crown Liquors, Flame Liquors and ABC Liquors. Call them for schedules.
  • Kravis Center - Keep in touch with the performing arts and pick up a schedule to see live concerts from legendary performers, Broadway-style shows and other top-notch acts.
  • Fishing - Some of the biggest largemouth bass in Palm Beach County can be found in the endless array of lakes and canals throughout the private gated communities, providing ample opportunity to catch lunker bass to 14lbs. This region of South Florida has some of the best offshore as well as inshore fishing on the east coast. Charter a boat in Jupiter and head out for some awesome dolphin (mahi-mahi), sailfish and wahoo action. Anglers also hook up with blue marlin from time to time just a few miles off the shoreline. Or experience some great flats fishing along the Intracoastal where big snook, seatrout, redfish, jacks and tarpon can be found crusing the shallows.
  • Weekly Events - Look at the GoPBI website for a listing of regional activities each month. 
  • Explore Palm Beach - Just 15 minutes down I-95 awaits some of the best shopping and people watching in Florida. With all the big name boutiques, art galleries and specialty shops, there's never a shortage of window shopping. Take a break from walking and have lunch at one of the many hot restaurants on the island like Chuck & Harold's or Testas on the main drag. Or walk over to The Breakers, the legendary hotel that Palm Beach made famous. Rent a bike and ride along the scenic route of the bike path, which runs between the Intracoastal and the back yards of the magnificent Palm Beach mansions. Exploring this trail is a must to get a first-hand look at the beauty of the island, not to mention an intimate look at the way its residents live!
