Join us as we explore Palm Beach Gardens and the surrounding area for great places to stay, eat, and play!

Where We Stayed:

We stayed at the newly renovated Hilton Singer Island Oceanfront Resort. The beach is beautiful, the service was excellent, and the beach was full of shells.

Dining Highlights:

Cooper's Hawk Winery – Wine Tasting & Dinner
We did a blind tasting of eight wines (four red, four white) and confirmed—we're not sommeliers! Still, we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.

UTiki Beach – A Lively Last Night
Located on the causeway, UTiki is a fun outdoor restaurant and Tiki bar. The fresh martinis come with a local flair, and although it gets loud, it's a great way to wrap up your stay in Palm Beach.

Trip Highlight: Glass-Bottom Kayak Tour to Peanut Island
The highlight of the trip was taking a glass-bottom kayak tour to Peanut Island! Follow a knowledgeable Florida native guide from Blue Heron Bridge at Phil Foster Park to Peanut Island Park. Along the way, you'll have a chance to see manatees, stingrays, starfish, sea turtles, and lots of very large iguanas —all from the comfort of your clear-bottom kayak. https://paddleparadisefl.com
