T ravellers and snowbirds planning to escape the Canadian winter don't have to worry about leaving behind their beloved culture and arts scene while in The Palm Beaches. Bustling with sophisticated, world-class museums, galleries, theatres, performing arts centres and more, The Palm Beaches are not only America's First Resort Destination but also Florida's Cultural Capital. Distinct cul- tural destinations include West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Tequesta, Jupiter, Juno Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Lake Worth Beach, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Wellington, The Glades and Lake Okeechobee. And, when you're not nestled wide-eyed in your theatre seat, or marvelling at a master- piece, The Palm Beaches' signature sunshine and balmy Atlantic breezes make it ideal for outdoor events as well. The region is home to several festivals and unique attractions such as the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum, one of 10 designated Outstanding Natural Areas in the United States. Of course, The Palm Beaches also boasts 75 kilometres of clean, sandy beaches to relax on or explore. Alas, we're still counting the palm trees.
