Various vendors along the beach renting chaises and umbrellas. Palm beach is most centrally located to food, beverage and bathroom, especially the vendors at the foot of De Palm Pier. Use the alley from the street out to the beach which runs between the Hilton (former Radisson) and Riu.

Ask to be dropped off at the entrance to De Palm Pier- long red line extending from the street to beach in picture below. Take the walkway from the street out towards the beach. On the right hand side there are 2 vendors- see location in picture below- who rent chaises and umbrellas. There is also another vendor in the middle of the Hilton's beach. Bugaloe Bar and Grill is at the end of the pier. There are also hotel beachside restaurants at the Hilton and Hyatt.

When you are ready to depart simply walk through the Hilton property and out to their lobby where there should be taxis waiting outside. If not the bellman will call one for you.
