Palm Beach County is 2,578 square miles - an area larger than Rhode Island or Delaware. There are 39 municipalities that bring together a mix of communities ranging from quaint fishing towns, to bustling coastal cities, to waterfront resorts, to working class “Anywhere USA,” to uber luxury communities. The eastern shoreline stretches along 47 miles of beaches from north to south. At its widest point, the County stretches 53 miles from east to west. The northwest part of the County includes Lake Okeechobee, the second largest freshwater lake in the continental United States. The terrain is sub-tropical, featuring plenty of lush palm trees, tall pines, and a multitude of vivid tropical flowers that bloom year-round. With an enviable average annual temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit, Palm Beach County is outside of the polar vortex of winter.
