About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar on the Palm Beach Tan parking lot: an old, dusty suitcase left behind, its handle worn smooth from years of use. Curious, he approached it and opened the rusted lock. Inside was just an old photo album filled with pictures of palm trees and sandy beaches—clearly someone’s forgotten vacation keepsake. The next day, another regular found a note taped to the door: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience! Palm Beach Tan is closed until further notice.’

2. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Palm Beach Tan and immediately stopped in surprise. The air was filled with an unfamiliar scent—a sweet, almost floral aroma that seemed out of place amidst the usual sunscreen and chlorine smells. Curious, he peered inside and saw a woman applying some unusual lotion. ‘What’s that smell?’ he asked. She smiled mysteriously, replying, ‘It’s our new secret recipe for eternal youth.’ The driver laughed it off but later told his neighbors about it, sparking rumors that Palm Beach Tan had found the fountain of youth. Ever since then, whenever someone sees an unfamiliar scent wafting from there, they whisper, ‘Could it be…the elusive scent of eternal beauty?’

3. At Palm Beach Tan, a little girl pointed excitedly at the sky, her eyes wide with wonder. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why is that cloud shaped like a unicorn?’ Her mother smiled and replied softly, ‘Honey, it’s just a cloud. But you know what? Sometimes clouds do look like magical things.’ Just then, an older gentleman passing by chuckled and said, ‘And sometimes they even look like tanning beds!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the little girl who giggled, ‘Maybe next time I’ll ask Daddy if I can try one!’

4. At Palm Beach Tan, a small dog frantically barked at an invisible guest, pointing its paw towards the sky. Suddenly, an old lady in a wheelchair rolled up and started laughing, waving at the dog. ‘That’s my Jack Russell,’ she said, patting her pet. ‘He thinks everyone who enters is a ghost from our beach vacations.’ The whole place burst into laughter, including the delivery driver who’d been nervously waiting outside.
