Highland Beach is a barrier-island town of about 4,200 residents between Boca Raton and Delray Beach, incorporated in 1949. Its three miles of oceanfront are lined almost entirely with luxury high-rise condominiums, plus estate homes along the Intracoastal. It is a quiet, retiree-heavy community with its own library, police, and beach — no commercial strip, just residential calm between two livelier cities.
