Welcome to Worth Avenue

Worth Avenue--there is nothing like it in the world!

For more than 90 years, Worth Avenue has been a byword for the good life, island mystique and the best shopping in the world.  This year, the recently completed streetscape renovation has made this historic shopping district even more beautiful, and more attractive to strolling visitors and shoppers. 

At the very heart of Palm Beach - which is celebrating its 100th birthday this year - Worth Avenue always has been synonymous with international standards of superior quality.  Elegant couture houses, art and antiques, jewelry and leather goods, fine gifts, spa services, home furnighsings, great restaurants and cafes dot both sides of Worth Avenue's enchanting three blocks, only steps away from the breezy blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean's Gulf Stream.

A leisurely walk along the Avenue is not complete until you expore the many tropical vias and courtyards designed by Addison Mizner.  Visitors discover boutiques and restaurants, each with its own unique character and charm, that they won't find anywhere else.  The Avenue remains synonymous with impeccable customer service, from the moment you step into one of our shops to our global shipping options.  We event take care of our four-legged guests with our famous doggie bars peppered throughout Palm Beach.

For more than 100 years, Worth Avenue has attracted royalty, celebrities, politicians, personalities and captains of industry.  If the shops on Worth Avenue could talk, they'd tell fascinating stores of romance, intrigue, scandal and opulence.

Now those stories are available for generations to come, through the engaging personality of James Ponce, 93 years young, whose tours of the Avenue have been immortilized on film.  "A Worth Avenue Story" is available as a DVD, priced at $25 from the Worth Avenue Association.  Through the magic of film, you can take us home with you.  Click on the website tab marked "Avenue Shops" to order this wonderful gift for yourself or a friend.

Our annual Worth Avenue magazine circulates nationwide to celebrate the enduring historic ambience of this very special Avenue.  Within this magazine is a helpful locator map with editorial references to Worth Avenue Association member establishments, including Worth Avenue parking areas and several Palm Beach hotels.  The Worth Avenue Association is comprised of roughly 150 business members who serve the community with numerous social and charitable functions throughout the year (See our calendar of events).

We all look forward to welcoming you to our favorite destination.  We know there is only one Worth Avenue.  We hope you will discover its magic for yourself by visiting us soon!
