Cycling Trail
Even among all the manmade luxuries and surgical enhancements, there are, believe it or not, some truly natural wonders to be found in Palm Beach. Singer Island, just off the coast of the Island, is among the most peaceful, and is home to the wonderful 2-mile bike trail that runs between John D MacArthur State Park in the north and the free, airy strip known as Ocean Reef County Park in the south.

A good place to park is at the Society of the Four Arts, which is near the start of the trail.
