Can you feel it? There's love in the air today. And if you're looking for a romantic spot to hang with your honey this Valentine's Day, here are three places worth a visit in Palm Beach County.

Worth Avenue clock tower

It is Palm Beach’s most romantic snapshot frame, a coral rock clock tower with arches that connect Worth Avenue to the sea. Lovers kiss here. Brides smize. The 25-foot Worth Avenue Clock Tower, unveiled in 2010 as part of the Avenue’s $16-million makeover, rises where the Palm Beach Pier stood from 1925 to 1969.

Consider it a sweet finale stop after a dreamy stroll through the Worth Avenue vías, the arched walkways leading to Mediterranean-inspired courtyards, shops and a range of restaurants. Wander along the Via Mizner, named after the landmark architect Addison Mizner, and find Renato’s, a classic Italian restaurant with a most romantic courtyard. Or stroll throughout the aptly named Via Amore and find the more casual, but equally charming Café Flora. But make sure to leave enough time for your Palm Beach moment of Zen at the Clock Tower.

Catch it at sunset and you’ll see the clock glow like the moon over waves.
