Sitting at the southern tip of Singer Island, Palm Beach Shores is surrounded on three sides by water, with the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Lake Worth Lagoon to the west, and the Palm Beach Inlet marking its southern edge. The town occupies just one square mile, which keeps daily life refreshingly low-key. Boating and fishing are woven into the rhythm here, and Peanut Island—accessible only by water—is a local favorite.
The northern edge of Palm Beach Shores has a small stretch of restaurants and bars steps from City Beach, along with a handful of specialty shops. Riviera Beach sits just to the north, adding more dining and waterfront options within easy reach. The rental landscape leans toward oceanfront high-rises and mid-century homes lovingly restored over the decades. Apartment communities here tend to offer sweeping water views and easy beach access, giving renters a coastal lifestyle that’s hard to match anywhere else in Palm Beach County.
