About Highland Beach

Highland Beach is a small Palm Beach County town on a narrow barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Incorporated in 1949, it is almost entirely residential, with condominium towers, oceanfront buildings, and waterfront homes rather than a busy commercial downtown. Boca Raton and Delray Beach provide most nearby services, restaurants, and shopping. Highland Beach feels residential, affluent, and intensely coastal, a place where the main facts are beach access, water views, and a low-key municipal scale.
