Sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, South Palm Beach is a barrier island where water is never more than a few steps away. The town runs along South Ocean Boulevard, giving nearly every residence an oceanfront or waterway-facing position. Boating, fishing, and beach days aren't weekend treats here — they're just Tuesday. A short drive south along Ocean Avenue opens up a lively cluster of restaurants and shops, while crossing to the mainland reveals more dining and nightlife options in nearby Lake Worth Beach and Lantana.
