THE PALM BEACHES, SOUTHERN FLORIDA
I will be where the Palm Trees sway.
The first time I visited Palm Beach 2 years ago, I knew that I was barely scratching the surface. Every Uber driver told me to rent a car the next time I visit, and I’m so happy I did for my second time taking in the Palm Beaches. For context, the Palm Beaches refers to Southern Florida which spans from Jupiter up North down to Boca Raton. Each seaside town in between has its’ own unique flare and charm. I stayed in Delray Beach one night and made my way to Singer Island the rest of my blissful trip. Honestly I felt like Singer Island gave me similar elements that I loved in Costa Rica. If you’re looking for a tropical island feel but don’t want to fly out of the U.S., I highly encourage you to look into Singer Island!
The Palm Beaches with Singer Island circled where I stayed. AKA HEAVEN
Enjoy the following images from the quintessential West Palm Beach avenue, Worth Avenue, and enjoy the beauty of Singer Island. I’m already planning many trips back to this island gem!

Amen! Love these quotes.
Florida wouldn’t be complete without it’s passing tropical rain that comes & goes. It was all sunshine the rest of the time with a little sprinkle here & there. Of course, this always depends on the time of year you’re visiting!
Ralph Lauren on Worth Ave is my favorite building from any angle.
I could admire this building for at least an hour. LOL.
Pizza Al Fresco, make sure you don’t miss 2 very famous pet tombstones hidden in this outdoor dining spot. I happened to have been sitting right next to it while eating! Mizner, a famous Palm Beach architect, had a very famous pet monkey who has a tombstone here. Now that’s bananas. (Sorry, had to!)
Pappardelle Aurora: homemade fresh ribbon pasta with light cream tomato sauce, mozzarella & basil
Margherita Pizza, fresh thin crust wood-burning brick oven pizza, tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella & basil
Mizner had a huge property which turned into what we see now as high end boutiques & globally-known luxury brands.
IL Papiro, my favorite stationery store that I discovered 2 years ago. I regretted not buying these luggage tags last time so I replaced my passport holder & luggage tag with the royal blue print you see here. They are an artisan Italian based company who specialize in handmade prints. It’s a huge stationery store for fellow enthusiasts out there. This is #1 on my list on Worth Ave.
Now let’s stroll the neighborhood & admire all the beauty…
Post rain admiration. You can spot a lot of photographers taking photos on this renowned street. I’ve seen gymnasts, graduates, engagements photoshoots while walking around Worth Ave.
Don’t miss the hidden alleyways!
333 my angel number and favorite number which this pretty building just happens to be!
When you stumble on the most quaint little public garden in the neighborhood and admire this colorful tile work.
Running views in Singer Island
North Ocean Avenue where I loved running! The beach was just a block away from the airbnb I stayed in. I fell in love with Singer Island and the Northern part of The Palm Beaches. I want to explore the North more.
N. Ocean Ave in Singer Island is lined with residential buildings like this one as well as resorts.
There are so many little hidden & not so hidden beach gems on this island. This was my view on one of my runs.
My running buddies blending in with nature.
Ocean Reef Park Beach on Singer Island. See you soon beautiful island. Who knew this tropical paradise existed in Southern Florida?! I definitely didn’t, but I plan on coming back A LOT!
XOXO
