Worth Avenue
Palm Beach Island's luxury shopping street, where Mediterranean Revival arcades and hidden lanes link more than 200 upscale shops.
Worth Avenue runs about four blocks from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to Lake Worth in the west. It is home to top brands such as Chanel, Cartier and Hermès, along with high-end galleries and restaurants. Most buildings on the street were designed by architect Addison Mizner in the Mediterranean Revival style. The best detour is the 'Via' lane off the main street, which hides fountain courtyards, bougainvillea-covered trellises and small cafés, and makes for great photos. It is worth a stroll even if you are not shopping: the east end borders Palm Beach's public beach, and in winter there are weekend events and vintage car shows. The street is best explored on foot. Street parking is time-limited, and during peak season it is best to arrive early in the morning.
