West Palm Beach for one day...help
 
Hi all! We are cruising from Miami next Sunday. We're staying in West Palm Beach Saturday and are driving down the next day. I've never been to W Palm! We have an entire day to spend and was wondering if anyone has suggestions for things to see, boutiques, nice tropical clothing, etc. No Jai Lai or dog racing, lol. Thanks!

I'd spend the day in and around Worth Ave. The Norton Museum generally has good exhibits. http://www.norton.org/exhibitions/current.htm
then the Flagler
http://www.flagler.org/
then maybe lunch on Worth Ave. Then walk Worth Ave. for window shopping.

If you want to actually do some shopping, City Place is probably a more affordable option. http://www.cityplace.com/ There's a Tommy Bahama store there.

Shop at The Church Mouse. It is the consignment shop fundraiser for the swanky Bethesda-By-The-Sea Episcopal Church.

Versace, Prada, Christian Dior, Chanel, Zac Posen, Balenciaga, etc.

Mr.GoTravel got a pair of $3500 mens crocodile golf shoes for $50.

Snorkeling Peanut Island is a fantastic way to sightsee.

Great article GoT. Yes, GoT sent us to the Church Mouse and my DH got a navy blazer and some great shoes too. ;)

That's a nice Mall...anyone know about the City Cellar? It looks really good!
