Nightly Snowfall at CityPlace
The flurries are flying in downtown West Palm Beach!
Snorkeling with Whales in the Warm Caribbean Waters
For those who love outdoor adventures, here's one for you! Stay here in Palm Beach for a week, then take off to swim with the whales! Can you think of a better *beat the winter-blues* get-away?
Humpbacks Whales of the Silver Bank
In the waters of the Dominican Republic, the world's largest concentration of Humpback Whales converges to calve and mate on the Silver Bank. It is here that the Dominican Republic created the Sanctuary for the Marine Mammals of the Dominican Republic, one of the first whale sanctuaries in the world. We travel at the peak of the December to April breeding season to provide you a once-in-a-lifetime experience of whale-watching and in-water encounters. Your experienced guides and the crew of the MV Nekton Rorqual will provide you with comfort, safety, and service for ideal sunset to sunrise whale-watching experiences. Quite simply there is nothing that can compare to being in the water with a whale!

JFK Bunker Tour at Peanut Island
During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the SeaBees secretly, and very quickly built a bunker for the President, who spent a great deal of time at the Kennedy Compound here in Palm Beach. Although it would have been a temporary command center for the nation in a time of crisis, it is still relatively small. It was constructed adjacent to the U.S. Coast Guard Station, about 100 yards away, concealed in the woods, underground, but above the water table. The bunker had fallen into complete disrepair, but was restored by the Palm Beach Maritime Museum ... with some difficulty, since it is at the water table and had been semi-flooded for a long period.
With the exception of a presidential seal, added as a modern enhancement, the declassified, decommissioned bunker is very close to the original. The structure is covered with earth and many layers of concrete and rebar. Entry is via a blast-hardened tunnel, with a 90 degree angle to minimize shock effects from a nuclear explosion. Entry is through a secure decontamination area, which was, however, and interestingly, made of plywood. This is a thought-provoking exhibit, especially in light of recent events in the United States. Below: Bunker door and entrance tunnel; Main room in the bunker, where President Kennedy might have run the U.S. during the first hours or days of a nuclear attack.
