Ocean Ridge is an exclusive, low-density barrier island town known for its "low-profile" luxury and intentional seclusion. Originally incorporated in 1931 as Boynton Beach before being renamed in 1937 to avoid confusion with its mainland neighbor, the town is a sanctuary of high-end residential living tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Architecture here is an upscale mix of sprawling Mediterranean estates, mid-century beach cottages, and ultra-modern waterfront mansions, many featuring private docks. With no commercial zoning, residents enjoy a remarkably quiet lifestyle centered around the Ocean Ridge Hammock Park, pristine uncrowded beaches, and the Ocean Ridge Natural Area, all while remaining just minutes from the vibrant dining and social scenes of Delray Beach and Palm Beach.
