Discover Palm Beach

The Island Playground Of The World’s Elite

Welcome to Palm Beach, FL, often called “The Island” the iconic Florida resort destination that fueled development along Florida’s Gold Coast. In 1893, Standard Oil magnate Henry Morrison Flagler built his first hotel here followed by his famous Flagler Museum, establishing Palm Beach as a luxury getaway . Legend says its name comes from coconuts washed ashore by a 19th-century shipwreck—a tropical origin story befitting its luxe reputation.

Year Round Luxury Meets Seasonal Splendor

While Palm Beach is increasingly a year‑round residential and vacation destination, the pinnacle remains “The Season” thanksgiving through Easter when affluent “snowbirds” from the Northeast (NY, NJ, PA) flock here for sunshine, golf, and society galas. High demand during this time has driven Palm Beach real estate prices upward in recent years.

Real Estate Overview: Oceanfront vs. Intracoastal

Palm Beach is shaped by two distinct waterfront lifestyles:

  1. Oceanfront Estates – East-facing homes with unparalleled sunrise views.

  2. Intracoastal Residences – West-facing properties offering stunning sunsets over West Palm Beach.

These trophy estates mean even a $50 million home doesn’t crack the top 10 . Forbes counts 33 Palm Beach-linked billionaires on its Forbes 400 list .

Palm Beach’s signature “Palm Beach Style”—Mediterranean chic with romantic flair—was introduced by architect Addison Mizner in the 1920s and remains a treasured aesthetic today.
