Gate-side grab at PBI’s Main Terminal
Right in Palm Beach International’s Main Terminal concourse, Oceanfront News is the basic stop for snacks, drinks, and last‑minute reading before boarding. Expect standard airport pricing, with bottled drinks running around $3–$5 and grab‑and‑go snacks a couple of dollars higher than street level. It sits post-security, so you’re clear to head straight to your gate afterward without backtracking.
Hours generally track the flight schedule in the Main Terminal, opening early for the first wave of departures and staying open through the last evening banks. You’ll see the usual mix of bottled water, soft drinks, coffee in the $3–$5 range, and prepacked sandwiches and salads. Think national-brand chips, candy, gum, plus a few local magazines alongside the big national titles for a quick gate read.
Stock is straightforward: single-serve snacks, basic toiletries, neck pillows, phone chargers, and a small rack of travel-sized over-the-counter meds. If you forgot a charging cable, expect to pay in the $20‑$30 range for airport-branded options. Newspapers and magazines still sit up front, useful if you’re on an airline that cuts Wi‑Fi or entertainment on the shorter PBI routes.
Watch your timing during the 6 a.m.–9 a.m. push in the Main Terminal; lines can stack a bit as multiple flights board from nearby gates at once. If your boarding pass shows a tight 30‑minute window to departure, grab drinks and snacks here in one pass rather than counting on something nearer your exact gate that may not exist.
