Note the “like a diva” because no one we know admits to being one.

Henry Flagler planned Palm Beach to be a...
At just a little over 2 square miles, it’s safe to call Lantana small. Just steps away from South Palm Beach, Lantana overlooks the intracoastal river as well as the Atlantic Ocean.

Being able to walk to everything is key here at Beaches, Bars and Bungalows. One of the first things we look for is how close all the important components of our getaways are: the beach, the beach bar, and the bungalow motel or mom-and-pop. Being able to go back to the bungalow for a little nap after someone (not...
