About South Palm Beach

South Palm Beach is a quiet coastal town set on a slender barrier island with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. Stretching less than a mile along South Ocean Boulevard, this relaxed community is home to roughly 1,600 residents and consists primarily of oceanfront and waterfront condominiums. Positioned between Palm Beach to the north and Lantana to the south, the town provides direct beach access and steady ocean breezes in a peaceful, residential setting.

Because South Palm Beach is almost entirely residential, everyday life centers around morning beach walks, watching boats along the Intracoastal, and enjoying the water. For dining, groceries, healthcare, and entertainment, residents take a short drive across the causeway into Lantana, Lake Worth Beach, or West Palm Beach. Local families are served by the Palm Beach County School District, and the community is especially popular with retirees and seasonal residents looking for low-maintenance coastal living with quick access to the rest of the county.
