Getting There & Around
PalmTran ( www.palmtran.org ) bus 41 covers the bulk of the island, from Lantana Rd to
Sunrise Ave; transfer to bus 1 at Publix to go north or south along US 1. A single fare
costs adult/child $2/1. To get to Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach,
take bus 41 to the downtown transfer and hop on bus 44.
Though it's a fairly compact city, the two major downtown neighborhoods, centered on
Royal Poinciana Way and Worth Ave, are a fair hike apart.
West Palm Beach
When Henry Flagler decided to develop what is now West Palm Beach, he knew precisely
what it would become: a working-class community for the labor force that would support
his glittering resort town across the causeway. And so the fraternal twins were born - Palm
Beach, considered the fairer of the two, and West Palm Beach, a cooler work-hard-play-
hard community. West Palm has a surprisingly diverse collection of restaurants, friendly
inhabitants (including a strong gay community) and a gorgeous waterway that always
seems to reflect the perfect amount of starlight.
