Capsule: The Town of Palm Beach, a legendary island paradise known for its beauty, charm, and old world opulence, has been an attraction for many of the world's wealthiest and most famous individuals since the early 1900s.

Waterfront Homes: On the 13-mile long island, which is three-quarters of a mile at its widest, hundreds of luxury estates semi-hidden behind lush walls of tropical foliage line both the oceanfront and Lake Worth.

Luxury condominiums also look across Lake Worth at Palm Beach from the city of West Palm Beach.

Golf and Tennis: While the Town of Palm Beach has several private courses, more than two dozen challenging courses -- many of them part of private communities with luxury homes -- can be found on the mainland in West Palm Beach.

Weather: The average year-round temperature for Palm Beach is 75 degrees. During the winter months, daytime highs generally reach the upper 70`s to low 80's. During the summer, the 90-degree temperatures are tempered by shore breezes.

Culture: The cultural atmosphere in the Palm Beaches surpasses that of many metropolitan areas. Cultural activities include symphonies, operas, the theatre, with various performances at many fine facilities, museums and gardens as enchanting as the island itself.

On the mainland, the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach presents a diverse line-up of musicals, ballet and modern dance, opera, classical, jazz and pop music to more than 500,000 people annually. The 400-seat Cuillo Centre for the Arts in West Palm Beach also delivers pre-Broadway shows and American Premieres along with concerts, play readings and special events.
