Planning a winter getaway? Here’s what to expect and some of the best things to do while you’re here.

What Is Winter Weather Like in The Palm Beaches?

Winter in The Palm Beaches feels a little different from winter in much of the country.

Average daytime temperatures are typically in the mid-to-upper 70s, with cooler evenings perfect for waterfront dinners, evening walks and outdoor events.

The season also generally brings lower humidity and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

What to pack for a winter trip:

Spend a Winter Day at the Beach

Yes, beach days are still on the itinerary.

Com 47 milhas de litoral atlântico, The Palm Beaches offer plenty of places to enjoy the sand, take a walk along the water or simply settle in beneath the palms.

Explore the beaches of Júpiter and Juno Beach, discover the clear waters surrounding Ilha Singer, spend the day in Palm Beach, or head south to the shores of Delray Beach and Boca Raton.

Ocean temperatures are cooler than during the summer months, but South Florida’s proximity to the Gulf Stream helps keep local waters relatively warm throughout the year.

Get Outside and Explore

Comfortable winter temperatures make this a great time to see another side of The Palm Beaches.

Caminhe ou pedale pela Palm Beach Lake Trail, explore the natural scenery at Riverbend Park, or discover the wetlands of Grassy Waters Preserve.

For an adventure on the water, kayak, snorkel, cruise the Intracoastal Waterway or plan a trip to Peanut Island.

Winter is also a great time for wildlife viewing. Visit Lagoa Manatee in West Palm Beach, where cooler weather can bring manatees to the warm-water outflows of the Lake Worth Lagoon.

Experience World-Class Polo and Equestrian Events

Winter brings one of The Palm Beaches’ most distinctive sporting seasons to Wellington.

Each year, top riders, horses and spectators arrive for months of equestrian competition. The Festival Equestre de Inverno features world-class show jumping, while Temporada de Polo em Palm Beach brings exciting polo competition to the National Polo Center.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or experiencing equestrian sport for the first time, Wellington offers a winter experience you won’t find just anywhere.

Dica de um morador local

Scotti Williams Luxton

Deixe o carro de lado. Estacione uma vez e explore a região de bicicleta. Comece sua manhã com um café no centro de West Palm Beach e, em seguida, pedale pela ponte Royal Park até a Ilha de Palm Beach. Passeie pela Lake Trail, caminhe pela Worth Avenue, compre o almoço em um café local, pedale até um dos pontos de acesso ocultos às praias públicas de Palm Beach para fazer um piquenique e termine a tarde observando os barcos indo e vindo na Palm Beach Inlet. É a maneira perfeita de conhecer os dois lados da água e aquele lado de Palm Beach que a maioria dos visitantes nunca chega a ver.
