EMERAUDE, PALM BEACH: GORGEOUS WIDE INTRACOASTAL VIEWS

ABOUT PALM BEACH

Known as one of the world’s most affluent communities, Palm Beach includes stunning mansions, three blocks of glamorous shops on Worth Avenue that draw diplomats, celebrities, foreign royals and the world’s wealthiest people, and a fabulous beach aside the Atlantic Ocean. Spanish Revival buildings house most of the 250 businesses on Worth Avenue, with stucco walls, hewn coral facades, pecky cypress in the ceilings, red barrel-tile roofs and cerise bougainvillea vines dripping over arcaded walkways. In the 1920’s, architect Addison Mizner set the trend which continues today with distinctive Moorish-Mediterranean style architecture.

Palm Beach is home to many famous celebrities with fabulous homes running between the ocean and intracoastal waterway, narrow winding roads alongside the ocean which afford sights of some of the most beautiful and most expensive homes in the world, yet is only three blocks wide and 14 miles long. A barrier island, Palm Beach is connected to the mainland by three bridges. There are public and private schools, many tennis courts and golf courses, and the towns 10,000+ population swells in season to 40,000+. It is also home to 100+ charitable foundations.

The north end is family-oriented, and condominiums can be found on the south side. The Brazilian Court is a condo-hotel with fabulous amenities including Buloud’s restaurant. There are many great eateries in the city, including Ta-boo, Café L’Europa, Bice, Renata’s and others. All the big name designer and jewelry stores are on Worth Avenue, and charming alleyways off Worth have distinctive boutiques and eateries. At the very least, you owe it to yourself to browse and perhaps shop on Worth Avenue, a “street of dreams.”

Looking for a POSH vacation, or even a Spa Day... head for The Breakers, with it's many pools and fabulous beach, one of the most beautiful, impressive hotels in the US. You can live and golf in Breakers West (Marilyn can show you properties there) and become a Breakers Hotel member as well. The best of all possible worlds.
