Palm Beach County is home to a wide variety of attractions. Museums, sports facilities, cultural events and organizations, can be found throughout the county. While many of them receive their funding from the communities in which they are located, the county or the state, even more are privately funded. The Boca Raton Resort & Club (501 East Camino Real Boca Raton, FL 33431-0825) has a unique history that dates back to the time of the railroad and land barons. Designed and built by the world-renowned architect, Addison Mizner, the original buildings are nearly ¾ of a century old! Like the finest wines, the Boca Raton Resort & Club has only improved with age. Over the ensuing years, a series of owners have poured millions of dollars into new facilities, restoration and maintenance of the entire resort. Each year, $10 million is spent on upkeep and maintenance alone! Thus, heads of state and celebrities always find the amenities at this luxurious resort to their liking. Jim Abernathy's Scuba Adventures (712 Pelican Way, North Palm Beach, FL 33408) Few visitors ever have the opportunity to glimpse below the surface of the ocean. Unbeknown to them is a spectacular world of brightly colored tropical fish, exotic plants, and spectacular reefs. Palm Beach County's unique proximity to the Gulf Stream, a prevailing current of tropically warmed water, creates an unduplicated environment where both warm and cold water fish congregate. Thus, divers are exposed to a wide variety of fish species. There is truly no other place in the world like the waters off our coast, and Jim Abernathy has spent years sharing its beauty with visitors from all over the world. The Marine Industry Association of Palm Beach County has, for more than 15 years been dedicated to the promotion of safe and enjoyable boating.
