South Bay is a small city in western Palm Beach County, located near the southern shore of Lake Okeechobee. Named for its location on the lake, it was incorporated in 1941 and remains closely tied to the farming that surrounds it.
The Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail runs through South Bay, offering a long path for walking, biking and lake views along the dike, and the lake itself draws anglers and boaters. Belle Glade is nearby, and US-27 connects the city to the rest of the Glades region. West Palm Beach is roughly an hour's drive east. Housing consists mainly of single-family homes in a quiet, small-town setting.
