Lake Worth Beach is a city in east-central Palm Beach County, located south of West Palm Beach and north of Lantana along the Lake Worth Lagoon. Incorporated as the Town of Lake Worth in 1913, it took its current name after residents voted to change it in 2019.

The city is known for its historic character. Neighborhoods such as College Park and Old Lucerne are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and downtown's Lake and Lucerne Avenues form part of the Historic Old Town Commercial District, with local shops, restaurants and the Lake Worth Playhouse. On the barrier island, the historic beachfront casino building and the William O. Lockhart Municipal Pier anchor the city's public beach, and an annual street painting festival draws visitors downtown.
