The Boating Community in Palm Beach County That Most Buyers Overlook
Palm Beach Shores and Singer Island sit right on the inlet with deep water access, no fixed bridges, and two full-service marinas — including a boutique condo project with only 36 units where prices start in the low $1 million range.
I'm Joe Vairo — a 2x eXp ICON Agent, ranked the #3 real estate agent in Fort Lauderdale by Fort Lauderdale Magazine, and founder of the Vairo Group, ranked the #3 real estate team in Fort Lauderdale. Boating access is one of the first things serious buyers ask me about when they're relocating to South Florida, and this stretch of Palm Beach County comes up less than it should. Here is the full breakdown.
Where Exactly Are Palm Beach Shores and Singer Island
Palm Beach Shores and Singer Island sit right at the inlet, next to Peanut Island, with deep water access and no fixed bridges standing between homeowners and the ocean. The location puts residents close to Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, West Palm Beach, and Palm Beach itself, while Palm Beach Shores itself is the easternmost point in the state of Florida.
Why Boaters Can Get to the Ocean in Under 5 Minutes
The single biggest draw for boaters is that homes here sit directly on the water with deep water access and no fixed bridges, meaning you can be out the inlet in less than five minutes. That kind of immediate ocean access — with a straight run to the Bahamas or down to the Keys — is rare this close to a major metro area.
What Amenities Back Up the Boating Lifestyle
Beyond the inlet itself, residents have Peanut Island in their backyard, which may be the best sandbar in all of South Florida, along with Phil Foster Park for snorkeling and diving. Together, the inlet access, the sandbar, and the park give the area a full boating and water-recreation lifestyle within a few minutes of home.
What Do the Two Marinas Actually Offer
The area has two full-service marinas, starting with the Haven Residences and Yacht Club, whose marina has 52 slips and can accommodate vessels up to 150 feet. Next door is the Sailfish Marina, a full-service facility that can accommodate up to 94 vessels up to 140 feet in length, and it also has a restaurant and tiki bar along with water taxi service overlooking the Intracoastal and Peanut Island.
Who Is Buying Into the Haven Residences and Yacht Club, and Why Does It Matter
The Haven Residences and Yacht Club is a boutique condo project with only 36 total units, ranging from two-bedroom to three-bedroom layouts, with prices starting in the low $1 million range. Owners can dock a boat right in the backyard, and because there's a 30-day rental minimum, the units also work as a lock-up-and-leave option that can be rented out when the owner isn't in town.
What Does the Single-Family Market Look Like Here
For buyers who want a waterfront single-family home in Singer Island or Palm Beach Shores, the median sales price runs right around $5 million, with homes taking about 100 days to sell on average. That price point typically buys a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home just under 3,200 square feet, and more new construction options are coming to the area.
What This Means for Boaters and Relocators
For a buyer who prioritizes boat access above almost everything else, this combination of no fixed bridges, a five-minute inlet run, and two full-service marinas is hard to match elsewhere in Palm Beach County. The Haven Residences give boaters a sub-$1.5 million entry point with dockage built in, while the $5 million single-family median reflects what it costs to own the land outright in one of the more overlooked pockets of the county.
Am I Bullish on Palm Beach Shores and Singer Island?
Yes. The combination of inlet proximity, no fixed bridges, and two working marinas is the kind of infrastructure that's very difficult to replicate in more built-out parts of Palm Beach County, and the fact that it still flies under the radar for a lot of buyers makes it worth a serious look before that changes.
