Best Things to Do in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
The Gardens is built for the good life — golf, shopping, green space, and the beach a short drive east.
Play (or watch) world-class golf. Tee it up at PGA National or the budget-friendly municipal Sandhill Crane Golf Club, and every winter the PGA Tour event at PGA National brings the pros (and crowds) to town.
Shop and dine the easy way. The Gardens Mall is one of the most upscale centers in South Florida, while Downtown at the Gardens mixes open-air dining, a movie theater, a carousel, and events.
Get outside in the preserves. The western side has serious nature — the Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area, Frenchman's Forest, and Sandhill Crane Access Park offer trails, boardwalks, kayaking, and birdwatching.
Hit the beach (15 minutes away). No ocean in the Gardens itself, but Juno Beach and Singer Island's MacArthur Beach State Park are a quick drive.
Pickleball and tennis. The city is big on racquet sports — Burns Road Community Center is the local hub, with one of the area's best public tennis and pickleball facilities, plus a pool and fitness center.
Sunday GreenMarket. A beloved in-season ritual at the municipal complex — local produce, food, and music.
In summer, go early or indoors during the afternoon storms — the mall, a spa day at PGA National, or a movie make great backups.
