About Palm Beach
Palm Beach is the famously upscale island town across the Lake Worth Lagoon from West Palm Beach. Its main public beach, Midtown Beach, is a short walk from Worth Avenue's shops, and Phipps Ocean Park lies to the south. Both are guarded by the town's Ocean Rescue every day of the year. Water is warm most of the year and mild in winter. Rip currents are Florida’s deadliest beach hazard, so check the safety flag and rip-current risk above, follow posted flags, and swim near a lifeguard.
