The best places to walk in West Palm Beach — Clematis to the waterfront, the Lake Trail across the bridge, Northwood Village, and the hidden gardens locals know about.
Walk Clematis east from the library to the waterfront and you've done the city's defining stroll. Restored buildings, fountains at Centennial Square, and a downhill grade that pulls you toward the Intracoastal. Best at golden hour or on a Thursday during Clematis by Night.
The seven-acre park where Clematis meets the Intracoastal. Brick promenade running north-south along Flagler with sunset views straight across to Palm Beach island. Splash pad, event lawn, fishing pier, and the city's best free seat for a sunset.
The fountain plaza at the heart of the district formerly called Rosemary Square. Open-air walking among restaurants, shops, the Improv, and the iCONIC Theaters. Kids run the fountain, parents grab a drink at the perimeter.

Three blocks of Northwood Road — galleries, murals, independent restaurants, and the kind of slow-walking pace the rest of downtown lost a decade ago. Best on the second Saturday of the month when the Art Walk fills the sidewalks.
Two acres of tropical garden in the El Cid neighborhood, dotted with monumental brick and granite sculptures by Ann Weaver Norton. The hidden-gem stroll — most of the city doesn't know it's there. Bring water; the path winds slowly.
The waterfront stroll without the downtown crowds. Flagler Drive widens here with banyan trees, a paved path along the Intracoastal, and views back south to the West Palm skyline. Boat launch on one end, locals fishing from the seawall on the other.
