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.

Cross the Royal Park Bridge for this Palm Beach island walk: the Lake Trail runs along the west side of Palm Beach beside Lake Worth Lagoon, with West Palm's skyline across the water. It is flat, scenic, and worth naming clearly as a Palm Beach walk rather than a West Palm trail.

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.
