Lake Worth, a coastal city bordered by idyllic waters, is the quintessential destination to enjoy a holiday in the sun while staying closely tuned in to multi-cultural events and a strong social and environmental consciousness. The Atlantic Ocean and the azure waters of the Lake Worth Lagoon form the city's east boundary, with the peaceful waves of Lake Osborne bounding its west side.
Resting adjacent to Palm Beach, Lake Worth is situated along the latitude making it the northernmost point of the subtropics. Hence, this tranquil city is known to South Florida locals at the spot “where the tropics begin” and of course, where the fun never ends.
Home to one of the most scenic backdrops in the region, Lake Worth residents enjoy slipping into the ocean for a refreshing dip on an everlasting summer day or watching pastel colored sunsets close in on Lake Worth Municipal Beach. And if you’re an early riser, locals traditionally head over to breakfast at Benny’s On The Beach, located near the Lake Worth Beach Casino Building and Beach Complex, after catching the sunrise.
And for avid anglers, the Lake Worth Fishing Pier and Snooks Island Fishing Pier are legendary amongst Lake Worth fishermen for bringing in a jewelry box of species not usually found close to the shore.
But what continues to draw people into this charming city is its independent character and acceptance of diverse cultures and lifestyles. Hosting a variety of annual festivals, including Palm Beach Pride, Lake Worth has become a haven of rich annual customs and exciting block parties (including German Beer Fest, Street Painting Festival, and Finlandia Week) that bring the community together with warmth.
Outside of monumental festivals and street parades, Lake Worth also elegantly attends to its deep roots, protecting its historic architectural fabric by designating six districts and four structures significant to the city's history. Several structures are recognized by the National Register of Historic Places, such as the Gulf Stream Hotel.
Downtown Lake Worth, while vibrant and bohemian, also lends pride of place to historic buildings, most notably including Art Deco Lake Worth Playhouse and the Lake Worth Historical Museum. From cozy bars to eclectic restaurants, Downtown Lake Worth has something for everyone, including a unique mix of antique shops, mom and pop stores, art galleries, and music venues, making this colorful district the artistic epicenter of Palm Beach County.
Paradiso Ristorante, Pelican Restaurant and Suri Tapas are three of the top restaurants located in Downtown Lake Worth, each offering their own dynamic menu items and culinary experience. Additional cultural attractions circulate throughout the tree-tented square on Lake and Lucerne Avenues.
Lake Worth also offers residents access to one of the most beautiful golf courses in the Palm Beaches, Lake Worth Municipal Golf Course, located off the Intracoastal Waterway and Lake Worth Lagoon.
Centrally located, Lake Worth is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods amongst local and international buyers due to its vast collection of oceanfront estates, luxury condominiums, single-family homes and townhouses meeting a wide range of budgets. A family friendly environment, award-winning public and private schools are nearby.
