West Palm Beach, Coastal city in Florida, United States.
West Palm Beach sits along the Atlantic coast of Florida and spreads across a large urban area with waterfront parks, shopping districts and entertainment venues. The city is made up of several neighborhoods that stretch along the coast and the Intracoastal Waterway, connected by wide thoroughfares.
Henry Flagler founded the city in 1893 as a residential area for workers serving his hotels on the island of Palm Beach across the water. It was officially incorporated the following year and has developed independently ever since.
The Raymond F. Kravis Center hosts evening performances ranging from Broadway musicals to symphony concerts that draw audiences from across the region. The Armory Art Center runs studio classes and workshops that invite visitors of all ages to try their hand at creating art.
The Brightline train connects the city to Miami and Fort Lauderdale in under an hour of travel time. Palm Beach International Airport sits nearby and offers additional arrival options for visitors.
The Grassy Waters Preserve covers a large wetland area north of the city and serves both as a natural drinking water source and as a teaching site for environmental education. Visitors can walk a boardwalk through the swamp landscape and observe birds and alligators in their habitat.
