Two Perfect Day Trips From Naples to West Palm Beach
Only about two hours and a good playlist away, West Palm Beach is the perfect place for a quick escape. With a certain coastal elegance and a phenomenal art scene, the town is that perfect mix of luxury and leisure.
To help you make the most of your visit, we’ve rounded up two one-day itineraries perfect for any kind of day, whether you’re planning a day-trip date, night with the girls, or good old-fashioned “treat yourself” kind of day.
Day One: The Gilded Getaway
For those who like their mornings sweet, their afternoons sparkling, and their dinners classy.
Start your West Palm Beach morning at Hive Bakery & Café, where everything, from the matcha and pastries, to their full lunch and dinner menu, looks ready to be photographed and devoured. Between the green tiled walls and charming garden terrace, this spot screams classy, east coast morning.
Next, wander down Worth Avenue, West Palm Beach’s version of Rodeo Drive. Meander through the secret, flower-filled alleyways that lead to boutiques, art galleries, and maybe a little trouble for your wallet.
When your shopping bags are full and your energy starts to dip, head to Maman for the perfect midday pick-me-up. This French-inspired café feels straight out of Provence, with blue-and-white tiles, soft lighting, and a menu filled with cozy, elevated lunch options.
After a little shopping cardio and patio pick-me-up, cool off with a walk through the Flagler Museum, the Gilded Age mansion once home to Palm Beach’s founding father. The marble columns, chandeliers, and “old Florida” feel are sure to inspire your inner photographer and historian.
Finally, dinner at RH Rooftop is a must; glass ceilings, olive trees, and chandeliers that make every bite sparkle a little brighter. And when the night calls for one last toast, pop by Mary Lou’s for craft cocktails and stay for the dance floor and live jazz.
Day Two: The Easy Breezy Artsy Day
For the latte-in-hand wanderer who loves garden paths, creative finds and coastal calm.
Ease into your day at Composition Coffee, a minimalist café with baristas who treat each customer like family. Grab a matcha, cappuccino, and quick chat before hitting your stride.
Next, explore the peaceful gardens and art exhibits at The Society of the Four Arts, then hop over to The Lake Trail, a scenic stretch along the Intracoastal that’s perfect for a walk or bike ride with postcard views.
Take a quick break from exploration and grab a bite from Buccan Sandwich Shop, a small, pick-up only shop that is laid back, but nothing short of exquisite.
Next, take your full stomach and inspired mind to Antique Row. Packed with vintage finds, designer décor, and that irresistible past-meets-present aesthetic, you are sure to find a treasure to come home with.
To wrap up your day, go light and coastal at Avocado Grill, one of the best spots for tacos in West Palm Beach. Then stroll Clematis Street, where live music and craft cocktails make for the perfect sendoff back to Naples.
Whether you crave a touch of Gilded Age glamour or a breezy arts-inspired escape, West Palm Beach proves that the best getaways don’t always require a plane ticket—just good company and a great playlist.
