Stretching from the Riu Palace Antillas resort to The Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach passes by most of the island's high rise resort hotels. This stretched out and very welcoming white sand beach is perfect for sunning and socializing. Take a swim, stand up paddling lessons or just smooth along on your float. The calm tidal waters are ideal for family activities and those seeking relaxation. Bright tropical fish swim through the clear blue water, so snorkelers will find plenty to observe. If you get tired of lazying around on the beach, wander up to the hotels – most of them have ocean-side gardens that are open to the public, little souvenir kiosks and cozy beach bars with excellent cocktails, happy hours and Barbecue platters.
