Plan a Day on the Water

A day on the water is one of the most Palm Beach County ways to celebrate Father's Day.

Cruisin' Tikis in West Palm Beach offers a fun and unique way to experience the waterways, whether you choose a sightseeing cruise, a sandbar stop, or a sunset ride. It is a relaxed experience that combines great views with quality time together.

For families looking for a more adventurous day, charter fishing trips are available throughout Jupiter, Riviera Beach, Palm Beach Shores, and Delray Beach. From offshore fishing excursions to inshore trips along the Intracoastal, there are options for every experience level.

You can also spend the day boating around Peanut Island, exploring waterfront restaurants by boat, or booking a private charter to enjoy South Florida from a different perspective.

This is the kind of Father's Day that reminds people why living near the water is such a big part of the Palm Beach County lifestyle.

Play a Round of Golf

Golf and Palm Beach County have always gone hand in hand, and Father's Day is a great excuse to spend a few hours on the course together.

The Park West Palm has quickly become one of the area's most talked-about golf destinations. Built on the former West Palm Beach Municipal Golf Course, The Park offers much more than a traditional round of golf. Along with its championship course, you'll find a lighted nine-hole short course called The Lit 9, a putting course, extensive practice facilities, and a restaurant that makes it easy to turn a golf outing into an all-day experience. Whether Dad is a serious golfer or simply enjoys being around the game, The Park offers something for every skill level.

For those in northern Palm Beach County, Sandhill Crane Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens remains a favorite. The course is known for its natural Florida setting, excellent practice facilities, and challenging yet enjoyable layout. It is a great option for golfers who appreciate a classic South Florida golf experience.

If Father's Day calls for golf followed by lunch or drinks, The Nest Par 3 in Palm Beach Gardens is worth considering. Designed to make golf more approachable and social, this par-3 course is perfect for families, casual golfers, and anyone looking for a fun round without committing to a full day on the course.

Other public golf options worth exploring include North Palm Beach Country Club, Lake Worth Beach Golf Club, Osprey Point Golf Course in Boca Raton, and Abacoa Golf Club in Jupiter.

Pick a Restaurant Dad Will Enjoy

A great meal can easily become the centerpiece of Father's Day.

Lucky Shuck Oyster Bar & Taphouse in Jupiter offers waterfront dining and fresh seafood with views of the Jupiter Inlet.

Benny's On The Beach in Lake Worth Beach combines ocean views with a relaxed atmosphere that feels perfect for a Father's Day brunch or lunch.

Elisabetta's Ristorante in West Palm Beach is a great choice for Italian favorites along the waterfront and a lively dining scene.

For steak lovers, Abe & Louie's in Boca Raton and Meat Market in Palm Beach are excellent options for a Father's Day dinner.

If you plan to dine out, reservations are highly recommended, especially for waterfront restaurants and popular dinner times.

Enjoy a Father's Day Event

If you are looking for something beyond golf or dining, several Father's Day events are taking place throughout Palm Beach County.

Father's Day in the Garden at Mounts Botanical Garden in West Palm Beach is one of the most unique local celebrations. Families can enjoy classic and vintage cars, lawn games, live music, and a cookout while spending the day outdoors. Dads receive free admission with the purchase of another ticket.

In Delray Beach, THRōW Social is hosting a Father's Day celebration featuring brunch, live music, backyard games, food and drink specials, and activities throughout the day.

These events are a great option for families looking to spend quality time together while enjoying some of Palm Beach County's favorite destinations.

Why Father's Day Reflects the Palm Beach County Lifestyle
