A tiny coastal city with unparalleled ocean views
Highland Beach is a small coastal city situated between Boca Raton and Delray Beach alongside the scenic A1A. Incorporated into Palm Beach County in 1949, Highland Beach got its name due to its elevated townsite. It's the kind of place that doesn't even have a traffic light, making it an unparalleled tropical paradise with staggeringly beautiful ocean views.
Highland Beach has become a popular place for endangered sea turtles to nest thanks to its quiet, pristine beaches. The turtles lay their eggs from March through October before they hatch and travel to the ocean. While Highland Beach might be tiny and serene, it's an upscale community with luxury real estate and very few businesses. A mostly residential city, there are only two main businesses in operation: the lavish Delray Sands Resort and John P. O'Grady Realty.
Highland Beach is considered to be one of the best places to live in all of Palm Beach County. This community is mostly composed of retirees and families attracted to the excellent nearby public schools. It's a tranquil beach town with very little traffic and easy access to the beaches and the Intracoastal Waterway.
Highland Beach is only a few miles long, but it does have its own library, post office, town hall, fire station, police station, and water system. It’s a very safe city to grow up in with terrific weather year-round.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​Since Highland Beach is a primarily residential place to live, most residents travel to nearby Delray Beach for entertainment, nightlife, shopping, or restaurants. The following are some local favorites in Highland Beach.
