Palm Beach Tan

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Palm Beach Tan, a regular always brought his own towel. One day, he started arriving with an extra large one—so big that it covered half the lobby. The manager asked him why, and he replied, ‘It’s for my new pet turtle.’ The manager smiled and said, 'We’ll just keep your turtle here until you come back.' A few days later, another customer arrived with a tiny little tortoise in a box. Turned out, it was the turtle's friend.

2. At Palm Beach Tan, customers often wondered why one regular never took off his sunglasses during sessions. Finally, someone asked him: ‘Hey, do you even get tan?’ ‘No,’ he replied with a smile, revealing perfectly tanned cheeks beneath his shades. ‘I’m not here for myself—my dog needs a good sunburn!’

3. At Palm Beach Tan, every morning around sunrise, an anonymous voice crackles over the intercom: ‘Remember kids, don’t forget your SPF!’ Nobody knows who’s making these early-morning announcements or why they started. One day, a delivery driver hears the voice and thinks, ‘Finally, someone else up at this hour.’ He yells back, ‘Hey! I’m not a kid!’ The voice responds, ‘That’s okay sir, just make sure you put on your sunscreen before heading out!’ Everyone at Palm Beach Tan agrees that it’s better than any alarm clock.

4. At Palm Beach Tan, early mornings are usually quiet, but lately something strange has been happening before dawn. A neighbor insists on walking their dog right outside the salon’s window, oblivious to the sleepy regulars inside. One morning, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package—a live parrot. The bird kept squawking and flapping its wings, startling everyone until it finally perched on the neighbor's dog’s head. By the time the sun rose, Palm Beach Tan was buzzing not just from tanning lamps, but from laughter.
