Lake Worth Beach, Seaside city in Palm Beach County, Florida.
Lake Worth Beach is a coastal city in Palm Beach County, Florida, sitting directly on the Atlantic Ocean and surrounded by several beaches and parks. The downtown core consists of low-rise buildings with shops, restaurants, and art galleries, while the public beach with a long pier stretches to the east.
Two African American settlers founded the first homestead in the area in 1885, laying the groundwork for the later community. In the 20th century, the town developed into a seaside resort and grew through migration from different regions.
The town is known for its street art and progressive stance on social issues, drawing visitors who seek an open environment. Local shops and galleries reflect this diversity and shape the townscape with colorful facades and inclusive messages.
Visitors find access to the water, the pier, and public facilities along the coast, while the downtown area is easily walkable. Parking is usually available near the beach, and many paths lead directly to the shore.
In September 2023, the town formally declared itself a sanctuary for LGBTQ people, making a political statement for equality. This decision sets the place apart within the region and publicly shows its values.
