The Palm Beaches are having a major moment, building on record-breaking visitation of more than 10.7 million visitors in 2025.
The destination is debuting a line up of new hotels, chef-driven restaurants, cultural offerings, and emerging neighbourhoods that invite travellers to experience the destination in new ways. Together, these additions reinforce The Palm Beaches’ legacy as America’s First Resort Destination®, giving visitors more reasons than ever to stay longer, explore deeper, and return often.
DISTINGUISHED DESTINATION
The Palm Beaches has received designation as the Sea Turtle Capital of Florida™, highlighting the destination’s leadership in sea turtle nesting, conservation, and responsible coastal tourism. From March through October each year, its 47 miles of shoreline become one of the most significant sea turtle nesting habitats in the world, supporting an estimated 2 million hatchlings annually. This natural phenomenon is deeply woven into the coastal experience, offering visitors a rare opportunity to witness one of nature’s most remarkable seasonal migrations alongside a world-class beach destination.
