Featured getaway: West Palm Beach, Florida


Clematis Street Fountain - Downtown West Palm Beach.
With sunny skies, nearly perfect year-round weather and a range of outdoor and cultural attractions, West Palm Beach presents the ideal setting for a weekend escape. Enjoy a game of golf at a number of pristine local courses or hit the beach for a day of tanning and catching up on your reading. See African chimps and endangered species like the Southern White rhinoceros wander free in a natural habitat at the Lion Country Safari. You could spend an entire day on Peanut Island, a popular tourist attraction that houses a bunker built for President John F. Kennedy during the Cold War. The island includes the bunker, a museum and plenty of picnic areas, plus biking and walking paths. The ferry ride to the island cruises past the opulent mansions of the city's wealthy residents. For those who prefer indoor endeavors, the Norton Museum boasts an exceptional collection of American, Chinese and European art. Famous performers appear at "The Harriet" and at the Kravis Center. Of course there's always shopping, the city's other favorite pastime. From designer boutiques to big name department stores, West Palm has it all.

When the weather up north turns cool, birds and bird watchers flock to Sanibel Island, famous for its large wildlife and bird refuge. Occupying almost a third of the island, the J.N.(Ding) Darling Natural Wildlife Refuge is home to many rare species of birds, reptiles and mammals. Anyone interested in the inner workings of our fragile ecosystems will not want to miss it. Seashell collecting is another big activity on Sanibel. Grab a bucket and scour the beach for colorful conchs and mollusks. Then head out to the Sanibel Island Lighthouse. It's not open for tours but can be viewed from an adjoining park area. The island is extremely laid-back and lounging on the beach with a juicy novel is as good a plan as any.
