Geographically the largest county in Florida, Palm Beach County is by far the most developed in the eastern third or so of its landmass, where the vast majority of its residents live. The eastern portion of the county buffers the Atlantic Ocean, and is home to developed metropolises and urban population centers both up and down the coastline (and s...
The largest cities in Palm Beach County are stacked north-to-south along I-95. Most have one or two access points to the beach, but much of the barrier islands that directly abut the Atlantic are incorporated as tiny seaside villages (including Highland Beach, Ocean Ridge, South Palm Beach, and Singer Island), populated by seasonal retired resident...
English is the most widely-spoken language in the county, though farther south, Spanish, English, and Haitian Creole can be heard.

Palm Beach International Airport (PBIIATA), located on Belvedere Road in West Palm Beach, is the county's largest airport. It offers non-stop service from a number of cities, mostly American destinations on the East Coast via budget airlines like Allegiant and Spirit Air. It also has a few international non-stop flights from destinations in the Bahamas and elsewhere in the Caribbean. The small terminal offers only a handful of shops and restaurants but has the advantage of central location, 3...
By train
Passenger rail travel in South Florida is as disappointing as anywhere in the country, but there are a handful of options. Three Amtrak lines, the Silver Star, Silver Meteor, and Palmetto, serve stations in West Palm Beach and Delray Beach, connecting to destinations elsewhere in Florida and up the Eastern Seaboard. On the same tracks, the Tri-Railcommuter service connects many more destinations throughout the county to Fort Lauderdale and Miami. East of the Amtrak and Tri-Rail, shiny, bright...

To the south, both PortMiami and Fort Lauderdale's Port Evergladesrank among the busiest passenger cruise terminals in the United States. In addition to near-daily sailings to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America, these cities offer ferry service to the Bahamas. Smaller craft will find dozens of p...
Beaches
Palm Beach County's main draw is its 50 mi (80 km) coastline, much of which is found on the barrier islands that line nearly all of Florida's coast. Compared to other top-tier resort areas in Florida, Palm Beach County's beaches tend to be a bit minimalist; typically, each city and town will have one or more city-owned access parks offering few amenities beyond a parking lot, restrooms, picnic area, and perhaps a playground or a covered observation deck. Exceptions include Lake Worth Beach's...

1. Northeast Everglades Natural Area: Even many longtime residents overlook this informal grouping of over 160,000 acres (65,000 hectares) of natural areas, city and county parks, and wildlife preserves stretching from West Palm Beach over the county line to Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Those who do venture here are rewarded with the area's finest multi-use trails, and a taste of the diverse biome and wildlife found in the much larger and more remote Everglades National Park. Some of the la...
