I f your idea of heaven on Earth includes a complete and diverse playbill of events, then welcome to The Palm Beaches—a paradise of possibilities. As palm trees sway in the Atlantic breezes, you can dine seaside on the catch of the day, dance to live music almost every- where you turn and still come back to that perfect swath of sand with your name on it. But sand, sea and sun make up only one facet of a Palm Beaches getaway. An irre- sistible one, to be sure, but just part of the big picture. Sports fan? Film buff? Art aficionado? Then spell Palm Beaches "paradise." A SPORTSMAN'S HAVEN Sporting events and possibilities are leg- endary. Love horses? Be mesmerized by the grace of show jumping as the Winter Equestrian Festival winds down at the Inter- national Equestrian Center. Maybe go for the adrenalin-inducing thunder of horse hooves at full speed at the world's premier polo destination. How about baseball? Catch a fly ball at the brand-new Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, where both the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros get an early start on summer during spring training. Cheer on the Marlins or the Cardinals at Roger Dean Stadium. Maybe applaud instead your hero's hole- in-one on the PGA Tour's Honda Classic. Catch the biggest stars in tennis at the Delray Beach Open. Pick up that new fishing boat or just book a charter at the Interna- tional Boat Show. CULTURAL PURSUITS Perhaps your idea of paradise involves directors more than divots and master- pieces rather than chasing mahi mahi (though you can combine all here). Sign on for the International Film Fes- tival. Check out ArtiGras, or go for art with an attitude at Lake Worth Street Painting Festival. Or combine all things artistic at Festival of the Arts BOCA. In short, head to The Palm Beaches this winter and you may never set foot on a beach (although that would be a huge mis- take!). Because from sports and food to art and culture The Palm Beaches has the event and attraction guaranteed to satisfy. It's a paradise of possibilities.
