Sometimes the hotel is the getaway.

5. You Can Get Out on the Water

Some of the best Palm Beaches memories happen on or under the water.

Snorkel at Phil Foster Park and Blue Heron Bridge, make your way to Peanut Island, rent a kayak, book a boat tour, try paddleboarding or head offshore for a day of fishing.

Rather keep your feet in the sand? That’s perfectly acceptable, too.

6. A Pool Day Is a Perfectly Acceptable Plan

Clear your schedule. Your only appointment is with a lounge chair.

Resorts throughout The Palm Beaches make it easy to dedicate an afternoon — or an entire day — to doing very little.

Think oceanfront pools, private cabanas, poolside bites, spa treatments and a good book you might actually finish.

And yes, spending the entire afternoon at your resort absolutely counts as a vacation activity.

7. Dinner Can Come With a View

There’s something about ending a vacation day beside the water.

Head to Jupiter, Singer Island, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Lake Worth Beach, Delray Beach or Boca Raton and turn dinner into part of the experience.

Try somewhere new, linger a little longer over dinner and catch a South Florida sunset before heading back to your hotel.

8. Your Weekend Can Be as Relaxing or Adventurous as You Want

Sleep in and book a spa treatment.

Or wake up early and go snorkeling.

Spend the afternoon shopping Worth Avenue or CityPlace. Explore the Norton Museum of Art or Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. Tee off for a round of golf. Bike along the coast. Head out on the water. Find a great happy hour.

Or don’t make an itinerary at all.

That’s the beauty of a getaway here: you can pack your weekend with things to do or simply enjoy having nowhere else to be.
