Question

Hi all.

We are coming to stay in Palm Beach for 11 nights in February. We are staying at Palm beach shores.

Never been to this part of America before.

Please can I have some recommendations for places to eat and places to see and go to. Also what’s the weather like in February? Will it be beach weather? We are coming from the UK so I’m guessing it’s better than our weather 😁

Answer

Palm Beach Shores is a lovely spot for a winter getaway. February in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach typically brings mild, pleasant weather, making it one of the best times to visit. Average daytime temperatures are usually around 23–26°C (73–79°F), and evenings are cooler at 14–18°C (57–64°F). While the water may be a bit cool for some, it can still be enjoyable for beach walks, sunbathing, or water sports, especially compared to UK winter weather.

For dining, Palm Beach and nearby West Palm Beach offer a wide range of options, from casual beachside cafés to upscale restaurants:

CityPlace/ Rosemary Square: A hub for restaurants, bars, and shopping. Options include seafood, sushi, Italian, and American cuisine.
Buccan: Located in downtown Palm Beach, this is an upscale spot with small plates and creative American cuisine.
RH Rooftop Restaurant: Offers stylish ambiance and excellent views, great for a special dinner.
Seafood Lovers: Try restaurants like The Seafood Bar or Okeechobee Steak & Seafood for fresh catches and high-quality steaks.
Casual beachside spots: Park Avenue in Palm Beach has a variety of casual eateries and cafes, perfect for brunch or lunch.

For activities and sightseeing:

Beaches: The area boasts beautiful white sand beaches—Palm Beach Municipal Beach, Phipps Ocean Park, and Peanut Island for a day trip.
Museums & Culture: Norton Museum of Art, Flagler Museum, and Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens.
Shopping & Strolling: Worth Avenue is famous for high-end shopping and charming streetscape, great for a leisurely walk.
Outdoor Activities: Kayaking, paddleboarding, or biking along A1A; nature lovers can visit Grassy Waters Preserve or Okeeheelee Park.
Day Trips: Consider trips to nearby Boca Raton, Delray Beach, or the Everglades for a full day of exploration.

Overall, February is ideal for enjoying both beach time and exploring the local culture, shops, and restaurants. Packing light layers and swimwear should cover most activities, and you’ll find plenty to do even if the sea is slightly cooler than tropical temps.
