  • About a 1-minute walk to Worth Avenue and its shops and restaurants.
  • Close to Merrian Road Beach and other central Palm Beach attractions.

  • Address: 2842 South Ocean Boulevard, right on the beachfront.
  • Near Lake Worth Beach and a drive from several Palm Beach attractions like the Palm Beach Zoo.
  • On-site beach loungers and umbrellas are part of the resort amenities.

Best if your priority is waking up steps from the ocean and spending most of your time on the beach.

Rooms: boutique suites vs oceanfront guestrooms
