A Local's Guide to Singer Island, Florida
Singer Island is compact and beach-focused — easy to learn, easy to love.
Get your bearings
The island runs north-south along Ocean Avenue / A1A. The north end holds John D. MacArthur Beach State Park and quieter nature; the central stretch is oceanfront condo towers and the public beach; the south end is Palm Beach Shores with single-family homes and the Sailfish Marina. Two bridges connect to the mainland — the south bridge to Riviera Beach, and a north bridge that takes you straight to PGA Boulevard and Palm Beach Gardens, just minutes away. Peanut Island sits just off the south tip.
The local rhythm
Beach mornings, snorkeling or diving (the Blue Heron Bridge is legendary), kayaking the MacArthur lagoon, and sunset at the marina. Boating and the water are everything; for shopping and a night out, it's a quick hop to West Palm Beach or Palm Beach.
The unwritten rules
Two bridges connect the island to the mainland — the south bridge to Riviera Beach and a north bridge out to PGA Boulevard and Palm Beach Gardens. Plan around season traffic regardless of which way you go. Condo life means HOA rules and fees, so know your building. And treat the beaches and the nature park with care; locals protect them.
Settling in
Pick your spot — oceanfront tower or a Palm Beach Shores house — get in the water, and enjoy the resort pace with the city minutes away.
