Best Places for a Stroll
Five Palm Beach strolls: Lake Worth Lagoon views, Worth Avenue vias, formal gardens, historic grounds, and Bradley Park.
The Lake Trail is Palm Beach's defining waterfront walk, a flat paved path along the water that's easy for any pace. Go when you want a real stretch of legs with a view rather than a loop through traffic.
- Best when: the island's defining waterfront walk
- Area: Palm Beach
- Specific: paved, stroller-friendly waterfront trail
Worth Avenue is the landmark stroll, steps from the ocean and threaded with hidden vias, luxury boutiques, and al fresco dining. Go when the walk is about window-shopping, courtyards, and people-watching on Palm Beach's signature street.
- Best when: window-shopping and via-hopping
- Area: Worth Avenue, Palm Beach
- Specific: landmark shopping street with hidden vias and al fresco dining; walking-tour tickets reopen October 2026
The Four Arts Gardens are the quiet-garden stroll, a compact set of demonstration gardens for a slow, shaded walk. Go when you want green calm a few minutes off the avenue.
- Best when: a slow, shaded garden walk
- Area: Palm Beach
- Specific: botanical demonstration gardens at The Society of the Four Arts
The Flagler Museum grounds pair a Gilded Age mansion with lake-side lawns to walk. Go when the stroll should come with history and architecture, not just a path.
- Best when: a history-and-architecture walk
- Area: Palm Beach
- Specific: grounds of Henry Flagler's Whitehall mansion
Bradley Park gives the north end of town a quieter walk: shell paths, garden rooms, a restored tea house, and Lake Trail access near Royal Poinciana Way. Use it when Worth Avenue feels too busy and you want a short, shaded route with a little history built in.
- Best when: a shorter shaded walk near the north end
- Area: Royal Poinciana Way / Lake Trail
- Specific: quarter-mile shell path, garden rooms, restored tea house, and Lake Trail connection
