Social events over the weekend include a Gala dinner and beachside buffets. They will certainly make the most of Florida's balmy climate and provide an excellent opportunity to take in the stunning ocean backdrops. Accommodation is at the historic Breakers Hotel, a five-star resort with rooms overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. They are equipped to a standard which exceeds the expectations of even a hotel of Mobil award-winning calibre. To the east of the city lies the Atlantic Ocean, and to the west lie the Everglades and the Loxahatchee wildlife preserve.
Activities abound in the Sunshine City.
Scuba diving, snorkelling and tennis are available at the hotel, or if you wish to venture further afield there are wildlife safaris and boat tours in the Loxahatchee preserve. Swim or sunbathe along the wide golden beaches that line the Atlantic coast, or you can explore the Zane Grey within by indulging in some deep-sea fishing. Designer boutiques and top department stores line Palm Beach's Worth Avenue, where visitors can 'shop till they drop' along its palm-lined pavements. For those interested in more sedate activities, The Breakers hotel boasts its own fully equipped health spa and a wide variety of restaurants. Gourmets are spoiled for choice, from European haute cuisine to Caribbean-style hospitality in the Reef Bar overlooking the beach.
