Palm Beach Shores is a small town in Palm Beach County, Florida, occupying the southern tip of Singer Island, a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Lake Worth Lagoon. It lies just north of the Lake Worth Inlet, and the town contains Florida's easternmost point, a geographic distinction that marks the state's closest land to the open Atlantic. With only about 1,300 residents, Palm Beach Shores is among the more compact municipalities on a coast better known for its larger resort cities. The town was incorporated in 1951, shaped by developer A. O. Edwards, who built out the peninsula south of the Blue Heron Bridge with a marina, a bulkheaded shoreline, and an early resort hotel. That mid-century resort heritage still defines the place: Palm Beach Shores is a low-key, beach-oriented community rather than a sprawling residential city, with condominiums, waterfront properties, and a strong boating culture concentrated on a small land area. Life centers on the water. The Sailfish Marina is a longtime local institution, serving as a marina, restaurant, and departure point for boat trips to Peanut Island, a small recreational island with beaches and snorkeling just offshore. The town's Atlantic beach runs along its eastern edge, and the Intracoastal Waterway and inlet frame its western and southern sides. Across the inlet, West Palm Beach and Riviera Beach provide regional amenities, employment, and the wider urban fabric of Palm Beach County. For those seeking a quiet, waterfront setting with immediate ocean access, Palm Beach Shores offers a distinctly small-scale slice of South Florida's coast.
