I promised more short favorite sites to visit in Palm Beach, so here they are. Part 2
Morikami
Japanese Gardens in Del Ray Beach, provides an aura of beauty and quiet in
Florida’s otherwise hectic environment. Perhaps it’s the influence of all the
New Yorkers that now make the county home, but I’ve never heard such loud
voices and dreadful drivers as I’ve encountered down here. But in Morikami
Gardens, even the children move slowly down pathways leading from one
century-style gardens to the next. Small lakes, waterfalls, trees groomed into
bonsai shapes, colorful turtles and Koi passing under arched bridges soothe
even the most garrulous of visitors. We also met several iguanas in the pond
next to the tea house. A young fellow and a really spikey granddaddy.
Green Cay in
Boynton Beach and Wakodahatchee in
Del Ray Beach are water thrill me each time I visit. Both are part of the
Palm Beach water reclamation wetlands that offer that allow the visitor close
access to hundreds of nesting egrets, herons, anhingas, cormorants,
gallinules and myriad wetland creatures and plants. Make sure to bring your
camera as the avian wonders you will see there will amaze you.
