Beach at John T. Macarthur State Park - Palm Beach Gardens

About Palm Beach Gardens

I have been to Florida many times. For 4 months, from January 1st to May 1st I lived in Palm Beach Gardens.

PBG is located on the east coast about 70/80 miles north of Miami. It's the next town north from and is connected to West Palm Beach.

PBG is one of the newer towns in Florida. The population is about 40,000.

Both the Florida turnpike and interstate 95 run from north to south thru PBG. The closest airport is West Palm Beach international, which is about 15 minutes from PBG.

If you happen to be in the area, I hope the follwoing tips help you enjoy your stay.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Lots to do within a 20 miles radius.
Cons:There's none!
In a nutshell:I really like Palm Beach Gardens and it's located in a metropolitan area of about 5 miilion people. There's many things to see and do. It's about a 3 hour drive to the Florida Keys and about 2 1/2 hours to Everglades National Park.

Last visit to Palm Beach Gardens: Feb 2007

That was probably hectic & crowded at the Frankfurt Airport. As for me I LOVE Airports yet American Airports over any other as folks there are always kind & helping w/directions and such.

Hi Glen! Just popped in to say HI! Well, the beach at John T. Macarthur looks very much my kind of place! Would rather be there now since the cold and snow here are likely to never go away this year, heheh.
