One of the first things you will notice when you move to Palm Beach is the abundance of palm trees that line its streets and beaches. The town’s famous history tells of the wrecking of the Providencia, which resulted in hundreds of coconuts washing up on shore and being planted, or seeding naturally, into a lush grove, providing early settlers with inspiration for Palm Beach’s fitting name.
One of the easternmost towns of Florida, Palm Beach is situated on a barrier island, between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, that is 18 miles long and ranges from 500 feet to ¾ mile wide. It covers an area of 8.12 square miles, and has no agricultural or industrial business, and a strict building code that enforces this.

With a year-round population of around 9 000 people, and a winter population of around 34 000, Palm Beach is big enough to be a fun and exciting place to live, while still being a town, rather than a city. Relocate to Palm Beach and enjoy the upscale shopping districts, historic sites, museums, sports facilities, and art galleries in a friendly and laidback environment.
People who have just moved to Palm Beach will quickly discover Worth Avenue, the town’s well-known, upscale shopping district, famous for its offerings of high quality commodities since the 1920s. It is situated on a beautiful, palm tree-lined street, and home to countless boutiques, high-end shops, and restaurants. There are also a number of art galleries on the street, and many events are hosted on Worth Avenue each year.
Moving to Palm Beach will certainly help you learn new things – visit the Flagler Museum for an in-depth look into the history of Palm Beach, the Florida East Coast Railway, and Flagler himself. Just around the corner, you can see the almost 200-year-old kapok tree. Visit Four Arts Plaza, and get your fill of the arts at the Society of the Four Arts’ gallery, sculpture garden, or concert hall.
Palm Beach enjoys a tropical rainfall climate, with hot, humid summers, and winters that, although warm, offer respite from the intense humidity. Afternoon thundershowers are common in summer, and temperatures range from average winter lows of 57 to summer highs of 91°F. Despite the summer thunderstorms and high rainfall, Palm Beach boasts around 2 900 hours of sunlight each year.
Families moving to Palm Beach will have access to two excellent schools that are situated within the town; one public and one private. There are also numerous schools and higher education institutions very close by in neighboring towns like West Palm Beach and Lake Worth, which are separated from Palm Beach only by the Intracoastal Waterway.
