Why Live in South Palm Beach
South Palm Beach is a quiet, wholly residential neighborhood located on a small strip of land within the Intracoastal Waterway, providing a suburban escape from the busier areas of Palm Beach proper and Lantana. The area is known for its larger, high-priced homes, including classic Florida ranch-style houses, sweeping Spanish villas, and modern designs, many of which feature private docks for boating and fishing. The neighborhood is safer than the national average and offers a serene environment with native wildlife such as dolphins, ospreys, and manatees. Residents can enjoy outdoor attractions like McKinley Park, Lantana Nature Preserve, and Hypoluxo Scrub Natural Area, which offer green spaces, walking paths, and opportunities for wildlife spotting. For beach access, locals head to Lantana Municipal Beach, and scuba diving enthusiasts can explore the Lofthus Underwater Archaeological Preserve. Nearby Plaza del Mar provides shopping and dining options, including Publix for groceries, Art Basil for Italian cuisine, John G’s Restaurant for breakfast and seafood, and The Ice Cream Club for frozen treats.
