Highland Beach
Founded in 1949 by twenty-one voters, Highland Beach has become a popular spot for "snow birds." During the winter months, the population almost doubles to about 6,500. This has become a community for retirees, who equal about 80% of the population. High-rise condominiums, cached estates, and lush palm trees line the neighborhoods.
Residents can stroll along the beach or ride their bike along the nearby A1A. Water lovers can charter a boat on the Intracoastal Waterway located to the west. Visitors enjoy many popular water sports here and on the beaches. For more entertainment, shopping, and dining, guests can go to the bordering cities of Delray Beach and Boca Raton. For only .6 square miles, this community has more than enough fun.
