THE PALM BEACHES, SOUTHERN FLORIDA

Palm Trees lined up in a row with a blue sky.

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!

Quotes on books and Love bag

Amen! Love these quotes.

tropical rain passing through

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.

outdoor seating with blue chairs

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!)

Mizner compound

Mizner had a huge property which turned into what we see now as high end boutiques & globally-known luxury brands.

Il Papiro Italian Stationery Store

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…

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.
