Palm Beach sits about an hour and a half north of Miami, and this tour treats the drive as part of the day rather than something to rush through. Once there, the route starts on Worth Avenue, known for its boutiques and the narrow via courtyards that branch off the main street, each with its own small fountains and archways.
From Worth Avenue the drive continues along Royal Poinciana Way and South Ocean Boulevard, where hedges and gates shield oceanfront estates from the road, glimpses rather than a close look, since these remain private homes. The route passes the outside of The Breakers, the town's landmark resort, and stops at the Flagler Museum, also known as Whitehall, where going inside is optional and its entrance ticket is not included in the ride.
The day continues across the bridge to West Palm Beach for a walk on Clematis Street, followed by a lunch stop of your choice, before the drive back to Miami. Seven hours covers the round trip comfortably, with room to spend more time wherever Palm Beach's quieter, older side interests you most.

FAQ
Can we go inside the Flagler Museum
Yes, if you would like to. Entrance is optional and its ticket is not included in the ride price, so let your driver-guide know in advance to plan the time for it.
Can we see the mansions up close
The oceanfront estates on South Ocean Boulevard are private homes, so the tour shows them as views from the road rather than a closer visit.
Is this a long drive for young children
It is a full day with real driving time, so it suits older children better than infants. Tell us the ages in your group and we can advise on pacing and breaks.
Can we stop somewhere specific for lunch
Yes. If you have a place in mind in West Palm Beach or along the way, tell your driver-guide and the stop can be planned around it.
