12/24/2024, Tuesday - Walked Downtown West Palm Beach
After spending the night in Vero Beach, we headed south to West Palm Beach and walked around the cute downtown area there.
The Great Lawn (the park by the waterfront at the end of Clematis Street) featured Sandi, a huge Christmas Tree made of sand. It's 35 feet tall and uses 700 tons of sand!
Along the waterfront landing were other sand sculptures.
There were plenty of big, beautiful boats to look at, too.
We wondered how big a boat needed to be before it required having a full time crew.
We also saw a bunch of guys racing down the main drag, popping wheelies on their 4-wheelers. Apparently, the cops don't even try to stop them because they are too fast.
At night the sand tree, Ferris wheel, and park lit up. Later there was a light show.
The big palm trees by the waterfront had cool lights on them.
More llama sand sculptures - apparently, that was a theme this year.
The city looked pretty at night.
We headed back to the main walking district, where there was plenty of street art. Cara liked this one, in particular.
We enjoyed Happy Hour food and drinks at a cool arcade/game bar called Lost Weekend.
Clematis Street (the main walking area in West Palm Beach) was beautifully lit.
Definitely not the traditional Christmas Eve, but we really enjoyed it.
