Situated nine miles north of West Palm Beach, the Village of North Palm Beach is a haven for boating, shopping, and dining. Because the Village is close to the Palm Beach Inlet, as well as to a host of marina facilities, North Palm Beach attracts fishermen and boaters, alike. Boasting 12,500 residents, North Palm Beach offers an elite selection of waterfront and Intracoastal properties.

Bluewater Babes Fish For a Cure is an all-female fishing tournament that has had Floridians anticipating the festive mix of fishing, boat decorating, and creative costumes all year round. Not only has it been labeled the most fun tournament you’ll ever fish, but Bluewater Babes uses funds raised to provide direct support to local breast and ovarian cancer patients in financial need with its “Out of the Blue” financial assistance fund.

Since it has grown throughout the years, now sportfishing yachts and center consoles from all over the world flock to Palm Beach Inlet for an event they just can’t miss. Marking the 10th anniversary, Bluewater Babes is planning to kick it up a notch for their loyal and very generous supporters.

The name of the game is snook this weekend, but make sure you know the regulations and have your permit, because FWC will surely be out in full force. While the mullet run hasn’t completely caught fire yet, catch and release snook fishing has been plentiful lately, with the Palm Beach Inlet, Juno Pier, Jupiter Inlet, and Loxahatchee River churning with keepers ready to be your catch of…

After 32 years, it’s finally happening. The famous Brass Ring Pub known for its juicy burgers, addictive wings, and oh-so-icey beer mugs is opening a new location in Jupiter, Florida.

Since 1986 this humble hole-in-the-wall bar has ruled over Palm Beach County as the #1 burger joint, and while other trendy burger restaurants come and go, The Ring has stayed true to its most important ingredient: good quality beef.

“We use no seasoning on the burgers at all. We use good, quality condiments,” said Bret Worchester, whose father and brother opened the original North Palm Beach location.

During the busy season, the pub cooks from 110 pounds to 140 pounds of burger beef a day, says Frederick.

The real secret to their burgers has to do with beef…
