Highland Beach is a small town in southern Palm Beach County, located on a barrier island between Boca Raton and Delray Beach. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Intracoastal Waterway on the west, the town was incorporated in 1949 and is named for its relatively elevated town site.

The town is almost entirely residential, with very little commercial development, which gives it a calm, low-key atmosphere along State Road A1A. Real estate is centered on oceanfront and Intracoastal condominiums, many with beach access and resort-style amenities, along with townhomes and single-family homes, including waterfront estates. Shopping, dining and culture are a short drive away in downtown Delray Beach and Boca Raton.
