What to expect on North Ocean Boulevard – Lake Trail loop from Broadway at 40th Street
This route offers a delightful journey through two distinct, yet equally captivating, environments. The Lake Trail portion provides a wide, paved, and largely traffic-free path, treating you to continuous, stunning views of the Intracoastal Waterway and the West Palm Beach skyline. You'll pedal past magnificent residential estates, often called the "Trail of Conspicuous Consumption," and iconic landmarks like the Flagler Museum and The Royal Poinciana Plaza.

Planning your visit
Given Florida's warm climate, it's wise to plan your ride for the early morning to avoid the afternoon heat and humidity. While some sections offer natural shade from ancient coconut palms, many parts are exposed, so bring plenty of water and sunscreen. The route starts conveniently from Broadway at 40th Street, and bike rentals are available nearby if you don't have your own. This loop is generally accessible and doesn't require permits, allowing for spontaneous rides whenever the mood strikes.
