Ocean views and a small-town atmosphere define this South Florida beach community

Beach Coastal Schools Low Crime Safe Tourism Golf Scenic Upscale Ocean Boating Fishing Historic

Occupying a long stretch of barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Worth Lagoon, Palm Beach is in many ways the epitome of a South Florida beach community. Locals enjoy prime access to the best the region has to offer, from boating, fishing, and surfing to golf, upscale shopping, and world-class dining. The thriving town center features a diverse collective of restaurants and boutique shops in a walkable layout, as well as several museums, galleries, performance venues, and historic landmarks. Four bridges provide easy access to the mainland no matter where you choose to live on the island—this allows you to take advantage of all the resources in the larger neighboring community of West Palm Beach, including the abundance of excellent public schools.
