About Palm Beach

Palm Beach sits on a barrier island that is just 18 miles long and less than 500 feet wide at some points. It is separated from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway and fronted by the Atlantic Ocean. This separation creates a sense of privacy and exclusivity, however, it is just a short drive to nearby communities such as Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter.

The island has a long history that dates back to pre-Columbian times when the Jaegas inhabited the island. The first hotels were built on Palm Beach in the 1800s, and since then, the island has been a popular tourist destination. Today, Palm Beach is renowned for its beautiful beaches, stunning real estate and world-class dining and shopping venues.
