Car Hire Palm Beach

Palm Beach Mini Guide

Palm Beach is a town in Florida. Palm Beach is actually on an island and separated from mainland America from an intercoastal waterway. It is the most easterly town in America as it lies out on a barrier island. Nearby and easily accessible by rental car in Palm Beach are Lake Worth and West Palm Beach. Although Palm Beach only has a small population of about ten thousand people this is swelled during the season by tourists. The main attraction here is the beach and most people come here to appreciate the climate and sunshine. The tropical weather here means that the temperature will never drop below 18 degrees.



That is why this part of the world is a favourite for retirees. Accordingly there are quite a lot of gated communities around here. One of the main attractions in the centre of Palm Beach is the Memorial Fountain Park which was built by Addison Mizner. Palm Beach is a resort and it was in fact established by one of the founders of Standard Oil. He used a railway to make this island barrier accessible. This high brow winter season resort is close to an area called Styx where a large population of black servants lived.

Remember that you can also get car hire at Palm Beach airport to get you to Palm Beach though you are advised to book ahead in order to secure your vehicle. This can be a good alternative to the very busy Miami or Fort Lauderdale airports.
