Whether the great outdoors are your thing or you prefer taking in the best of West Palm Beach with air conditioning, here are 15 amazing things, from north to south, definitely worth checking out:

1. Meet manatees at Manatee Lagoon

Looking for something to do outdoors on a cold day? Go see what the manatees are doing at Manatee Lagoon. Part of the FPL Eco-Discovery Center, this destination is dedicated to educating the public about manatees and the importance of the Lake Worth Lagoon. In the winter, especially after cold fronts, this literal hot-spot (really, warmer spot) can attract dozens of manatees as they congregate around the nearby power plant's warm water discharges.

Every December, a 35-foot tall, 800-ton holiday sand sculpture fondly named Sandi, rises along the West Palm Beach waterfront.

Yes, they have a golden ticket and an Everlasting Gobstopper from the all-time classic, 1971 movie "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory."

Reservations are required.

Information: 235 N. Jog Road, West Palm Beach. 561-540-1600; bulkcandystore.com

16. (Window?) shop your way down Antique Row

Word has it that an Architectural Digest story in the 1990s cemented Antique Row's reputation as a destination for those in pursuit of items from the 1920s Art Deco and mid-century modern eras. The stretch along South Dixie Highway just north of Southern Boulevard has become more polished in the decades since that article and is now "full of moneyed newcomers and trendy restaurants, and an annual street fair," reporter Kimberly Miller wrote in 2023.

17. Check out the garden you wish you had - the Ann Norton Sculpture Garden

The house, studio and gardens in West Palm Beach's El Cid neighborhood were the former residence of Ann Weaver Norton and husband Ralph Hubbard Norton. Built in the 1920s, the place is on the National Register of Historic Places, but it is just a cool space (literally — the yard is shaded by all variety of native fauna and gets a breeze from the nearby Intracoastal). There you can also find more than 100 works by Ann Norton, who was a world class artist and sculptor whose work appeared in solo and group exhibits around the world, including in the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Ann Norton died in 1982, but her home, studio and fabulous gardens are open to the public for an admission fee or membership. There you will find hundreds of sculptures, some of them abstract looming monoliths of brick others more recognizable in form. All worth a gander.

Information: 253 Barcelona Road, West Palm Beach; 561- 832-5328. ansg.org

Beach guide: west palm beach -- upscale coastal playground, west palm beach.

Since the city of West Palm Beach is located on the mainland, it doesn’t encompass any beaches. However, just across the bridge, the island of Palm Beach is home to the Town of Palm Beach Municipal Beach , located just north of Worth Avenue on South Ocean Blvd., Palm Beach, FL 33480. Here’s information about other area beaches .

Hot spot for the rich and famous with easy access to restaurants and shops. Undeniably upscale, this glorious beach promises a playground of waves and sand. It’s sited across the street and just north of famous Worth Avenue , a social hub featuring a luxe tapestry of boutiques , al fresco dining , and spoil-you-silly hotels . It’s popular and can be crowded.

Coconut palms and benches line the boardwalk at Municipal Beach , inviting you to take a seat and admire the fine-grained, cocoa colored sand and sparkling blue surf, just beyond the salmon-pink wave wall and curving dunes. Here, you can stand under the arch of the white, weathered Worth Avenue clock tower for an epic selfie with the Atlantic as a backdrop;  work on perfecting your tan; let the kids splash in the waves; or embark on a treasure hunt for seashells. You’re likely to see families, couples, groups of friends, and, if you wander down Worth Avenue, possibly a celebrity . Expect some waves, which will vary according to tides, winds, and offshore systems. Expect some surfers, as well.

On or near the beach

Sunning, swimming, and hunting for seashells are all high on the list of ways to enjoy Palm Beach. Surfers , take note: This mile-long stretch of waves rivals Lake Worth Pier’s title as the most consistent surf spot in South Florida.

Accessibility

Palm Beach Municipal Beach doesn’t have accessible amenities. Here’s a list of Palm Beach County’s most accessible beaches and their amenities.

Benches on the boardwalk are the park’s only amenities.

Yes. Swimming areas are guarded when a condition flag is flying from the lifeguard tower year-round, seven days a week, from 9 a.m. – 5:20 p.m. Guard availability may change without notice, so look for the condition flag before swimming​. Here’s a map of guarded area beaches .

Public parking is available along South Ocean Drive from Hammond Avenue to Royal Palm Way, as well as on many side streets. Here’s more parking information .
