Palm Beach, Florida Population, Hospitals, Airports, and Schools
Palm Beach is located at 100km north of Miami. The island of Palm Beach has long been a playground for the wealthy. One of our favorite things to do there is to rent a bicycle and ride past the grand clubs and massive mansions along South, Ocean and North Boulevards: the Bath and Tennis Club ,the Woolworth Donahue home, John Lennon’s estate the posh Breakers Hotel, Estee Lauder’s mansion and the Kennedy compound. The nearby city of West Palm Beach is on the mainland and is less posh than its neighbor. It’s home to the CityPlace shopping development, which looks to Europe for its design.
