As construction on Northlake Boulevard near the CSX railway causes disruptions in parts of Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, and The Acreage, local officials are encouraging residents to take staycations and explore their own backyard.
Through its ongoing #LoveThePalmBeaches campaign, Discover The Palm Beaches (DTPB) is promoting local travel within the county, highlighting summer savings at hotels and resorts, and urging residents to support area businesses during this period of traffic detours and congestion.
“Summer is an ideal time to enjoy The Palm Beaches,” DTPB said in a statement. “With a relaxed pace, accessible attractions and serene beaches, residents can take full advantage of a convenient and affordable escape just minutes from home.”
The initiative not only offers a way to unwind before the school year begins but also helps sustain local restaurants, shops, and attractions, boosting the regional economy.
Residents can browse exclusive offers at participating hotels and resorts at ThePalmBeaches.com/LovePBC, which features limited-time discounts designed to make luxury stays more accessible to locals.
Interim Palm Beach County Administrator Todd Bonlarron acknowledged the upcoming challenges for commuters: “We know the closure of Northlake Boulevard will be a challenge and impact the residents in the area. Having a staycation is a great opportunity for residents to experience The Palm Beaches like a visitor—relax, recharge and rediscover what makes our community so special, while helping to ease the congestion in the affected area.”
Milton Segarra, president and CEO of DTPB, added, “Residents who appreciate the world-class resorts and hotels here in our destination can experience them this summer at exceptional value. With exclusive seasonal offers available, now is an ideal time to enjoy a staycation, unwind close to home, and rediscover The Palm Beaches just ahead of the busy back-to-school season.”
