Oceanfront Seclusion
Between Two Great Cities

Highland Beach occupies a narrow stretch of barrier island that most people drive through on A1A without realizing how exceptional it truly is. The town has no hotels, no major retail, and no nightlife. What it has is 2.5 miles of direct Atlantic beachfront, a collection of well-maintained gated communities, and a permanent population that chose this exact degree of calm intentionally.

Positioned directly between Boca Raton to the south and Delray Beach to the north, Highland Beach residents are never more than five minutes from world-class dining, shopping, and culture while living in one of the quietest addresses on the entire South Florida coast.

Direct Oceanfront — The majority of Highland Beach's residential buildings sit directly on the Atlantic, with private beach access included in most communities.
Low Density — No high-rise commercial towers, no chain restaurants, and no resort hotels. Highland Beach's zoning has deliberately kept the town as residential as possible.
Gated Residential Communities — Properties range from oceanfront condo towers with full amenity packages to single-family homes on private Intracoastal lots.
Intracoastal Access — The western edge of town borders the Intracoastal Waterway, with several communities offering private dockage and boating access.
Five Minutes from Everything — Boca Raton's dining, Mizner Park, and the Town Center mall are minutes south. Delray Beach's Atlantic Avenue is minutes north.
