Our friends Scott and Karin came to visit for the weekend, since they live just a few hours away. And Chris' parents Brad and Marge also came to visit. And unlike our 1999 vacation in Hilton Head, none of the visitors brought a hurricane with them this time!

.Like many Florida beachfront resorts, there were plant-covered dunes between the Marriott resort buildings and the beach, which you crossed via this boardwalk.
|
There were plenty of umbrellas and "clamshell" canopies for those of us who prefer shade at the beach.

We rented bikes to ride the 6-mile Palm Beach Trail (aka the Lake Worth Trail) thru Palm Beach. The many Poinciana trees were in full bloom. |
This fig tree, related to banyan trees, had some very impressive roots.

There was always a lot of activity on the water. We enjoyed watching the gambling cruiseship come & go, as well as the parasails, catamarans, luxury yachts, jetskis, kayaks, snorkelers, etc.
