This Island of Palm Beach is served by the Route 42 Palm Tran bus from Lantana in the south up to Royal Poncianna Way where it crosses over the Flagler Memorial Bridge into West Palm Beach to the government center and then back again for the southbound trip.

Private vehicles and taxis are the predominant means of transport in Palm Beach. Bicycles are a popular transport on the island, although most areas have no bicycle trails, so safe and comfortable travel is not always assured. The Lake Trail, exclusively for pedestrian and bike traffic, extends from Royal Palm Way in the south up to the north end of the island. The trail follows the edge of the Lake Worth Lagoon (part of the intercoastal waterway) except for a section between the Flagler Museum and the Biltmore Condominiums, where the trail follows the streets.

Traveling by bike along the ocean can be hazardous. Only a short section has sidewalks, and then largely used by pedestrians. Biking on the sidewalks is discouraged due to the chance of collision between bikes and walkers. The roads along the ocean are narrow and have small or no shoulders, making biking a potentially dangerous activity in those areas. In the southern end of the island, south of Sloan's Curve and north of Lantana Road is a two-mile long, relatively wide pedestrian path that is popular with walkers, runners and bikers alike.
