Palm Beach Bike Trail
This five-mile, paved path stretching along the west side of the island was the brainchild of Palm Beach founder Henry Flagler, who, in 1894, decided to build a tree-lined waterside promenade where his moneyed hotel guests could stretch their legs and scope the society scene. The path remains a popular spot with runners, bikers, rollerbladers, and walkers who all want to take in the lovely views of the Intracoastal Waterway to the west and sprawling Palm Beach mansions to the east. Many of the houses are hidden by high hedges, but along the way you’ll still be able to catch glimpses of glamorous pools, elegant formal gardens, and two of Flagler’s own sumptuous properties–Seagull Cottage and Whitehall (now the Flagler Museum).
