Studies have shown time and time again that vacations can help reduce stress, improve your mental health and create a better sense of well-being. Thankfully, you don’t have to go on a long and extravagant trip to feel the benefits! Beautiful Florida is a vacation destination on its own, and the Palm Beach area offers plenty of options for fun, stress-free day trips.

So, grab your significant other, round up the kids or get together with some good friends and visit any of these day trip destinations, all within an easy drive from Arden:

  1. Lake Worth Beach

    A day at Lake Worth Beach is sure to be full of adventure!

Wrap up the evening at the Lake Worth Drive In movie theatre watching nostalgic films under the stars.

  2. Delray Beach

    If you’re looking for a more romantic getaway, then a visit to Delray Beach might be for you. Start off the day at Wakodahatchee Wetlands, exploring the park as you stroll hand-in-hand.
