Ocean Ridge

Welcome to Ocean Ridge! Tucked away like a hidden seaside gem, Ocean Ridge is a charming town that even some locals in the Palm Beaches can’t quite place on a map—and that’s part of its magic! Nestled next to Boynton Beach, this cozy coastal enclave sits where land meets the Atlantic, bordered by the Intracoastal Waterway. Most of Ocean Ridge stretches across the main barrier island, but two smaller islands, crafted from dredged waterway material, add to its unique geography. With only 2 square miles of land and water combined, Ocean Ridge is practically half ocean, half paradise. Life here revolves around the water. Marinas buzz with activity as fishing boats, pleasure cruisers, and personal watercraft glide through the waves. Whether you’re setting sail, casting a line, or just soaking up the ocean breeze, Ocean Ridge is a waterfront wonderland that feels like a well-kept secret.
