Highland Beach

Nestled between vibrant cities, Highland Beach offers a tranquil waterfront escape with relaxed living and abundant water activities.

Welcome to Highland Beach

Very appropriately, Highland Beach sits on high land by the beach. Where barefoot mail carriers once strode the sand — part of a regular route between Palm Beach and Miami— this South Florida town is now a residential paradise. Homes sit near the Atlantic Ocean or the Intracoastal Waterway, which bound Highland Beach on either side. In fact, there are more square feet of water than land in Highland Beach, making it ideal for fans of a water-based lifestyle. Yamato Rock, a meteor-like limestone outcropping right off the shore, is popular for fishing and snorkeling. Things move at a relaxed gait in Highland Beach, exemplified by an absence of traffic lights, a speed equally adored by residents and the protected sea turtles who nest on the beach. For a change of pace, the dual hubs of Boca Raton and Delray Beach await right across the Intracoastal.
