🌴 The Secret Side of Palm Beach County
Palm Beach County is famous for its glamorous beaches, luxury shopping, and world-class golf courses. But what about the spots the travel blogs don’t tell you about? That’s where we come in. At SoFlo Coastal Group, we live, work, and play in Palm Beach County—so we’ve got the inside scoop on local gems that are off the beaten path.
Whether you’re visiting, house-hunting, or considering investing in a short-term rental in Palm Beach County, these hidden treasures will make you fall in love with South Florida living.
🐚 1. Coral Cove Park (Tequesta)
Forget the crowded stretches of sand—head north to Coral Cove Park, a serene beach dotted with unique limestone formations. At low tide, you’ll spot tide pools filled with tiny fish, crabs, and seashells. It’s the perfect place to escape, snorkel, or catch one of Florida’s famous sunrises.
👉 Pro Tip: Pack a picnic and plan to stay until golden hour. It’s pure magic.
🌺 2. Mounts Botanical Garden (West Palm Beach)
Just minutes from the airport, Mounts Botanical Garden is a tropical wonderland that somehow still feels like a secret. With 20+ themed gardens—from butterflies to herbs to rainforests—you’ll feel worlds away from the bustle of downtown.
If you love outdoor living, you’ll find plenty of design inspo here for your Palm Beach backyard oasis.
🍹 3. Guanabanas (Jupiter) – Local’s Paradise
While not completely unknown, Guanabanas is where locals go to relax under lush banyan trees while sipping mojitos by the water. It’s a laid-back island-style restaurant that travel guides sometimes skip, but once you’ve been, you’ll understand why residents love it.
👉 Bonus: Pull up by boat if you can—true South Florida style.
🎨 4. Lake Worth Street Art
If you only stick to Palm Beach proper, you might miss the vibrant Lake Worth Beach street art scene. The downtown walls are alive with colorful murals, many by local artists. It’s a fun way to spend a morning before grabbing coffee at a neighborhood café.
This is also a fantastic neighborhood to explore if you’re considering buying in Lake Worth Beach.
🚤 5. Peanut Island (Accessible Only by Boat)
For a real hidden gem adventure, hop on a water taxi or kayak to Peanut Island. Tucked away in the Intracoastal, it’s got crystal-clear snorkeling lagoons, walking trails, and even a little history (hello, JFK’s Cold War bunker!).
This is one of the most unique ways to experience Palm Beach boating culture.
🏝️ Why Locals Love the Hidden Spots
The beauty of Palm Beach County isn’t just in its luxury estates and pristine beaches—it’s in the tucked-away gardens, mom-and-pop restaurants, and secret stretches of shoreline.
If you’re dreaming about making this lifestyle your reality—whether that’s buying a coastal home, renting out an investment property, or diving into the short-term rental market—we’d love to guide you.
