Palm Beach is a town on a barrier island in Palm Beach County, separated from West Palm Beach and Lake Worth Beach by the Lake Worth Lagoon. Henry Flagler helped transform the island into a winter resort in the 1890s, building the Royal Poinciana Hotel and The Breakers, and the town was incorporated in 1911.
The island's architecture reflects its history, including the Mediterranean Revival designs of Addison Mizner and Flagler's Whitehall mansion, now the Flagler Museum. Worth Avenue, Royal Poinciana Plaza and the Royal Poinciana Way Historic District offer galleries, shopping and dining, and the Lake Trail runs along the Intracoastal. Real estate ranges from oceanfront and lakefront estates and historic in-town homes to condominiums, cooperatives and townhomes. Downtown West Palm Beach and Palm Beach International Airport are just across the bridges.
