Surfing

No, it's not Hawaii, but Palm Beach County does get rideable waves for surfing. With the Bahamas only 60 miles offshore, most of the large ocean swells from the east do get blocked.  However, there is a swell window from the north that pushes down from storms and fronts out in the Atlantic.  Most of the waves occur from September to May and fall into the 2-6 foot range.  The good news is you can usually find waves you like within an hours drive.  One part of the county could be solid 4-6 foot and in short drive it could be 1-3 or even flat. Usually the farther north you drive the bigger it gets. Reef Road, on Palm Beach is capable of holding some of the largest waves on the east coast and has rare days of 10-15+ foot from super storms and hurricanes.

Polo

Wellington, located in central Palm Beach County is a world renowned horse community.  From the Winter Equestrian Festival at the Palm Beach International Equestrian center to the 57 miles of riding trails within the village, this is the place to be for horse lovers.  As a youth, I enjoyed going to polo games with my friends dad.  He worked the scoreboard on the gorgeous Sunday afternoons so we got hang out right behind the goal.  We got close to the action and could feel the thundering horses as they came our way. As the goals were scored we would chase down balls and then sell them after the game, what a blast!
