On behalf of the Town of Ocean Ridge, I want to welcome you to our official home on the Internet. We are glad that you have chosen to visit our community and hope these pages provide you with useful information. 

Ocean Ridge offers an exceptional quality of life in a friendly and diverse seaside community.  Located on a barrier island in Palm Beach County on the southeast coast of Florida , Ocean Ridge is a wonderful place to live and raise a family.  The Town has over 2600 residents who enjoy the solitude and seclusion of living in an area surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the Florida Intracoastal Waterway.  Nonetheless, those who call Ocean Ridge home can still enjoy the social life of the “big city” only a few miles away.

The Town of Ocean Ridge operates with a lean staff of highly motivated people who have the ability and the authority to solve problems and get things done.  Together with our elected officials, positive results are achieved through supportive working relationships and teamwork.  With one of the lowest tax millage rates in Palm Beach County , we are accountable to our residents for providing services in a friendly, courteous and responsive manner. 

As you stroll or bike our spectacular Old Ocean Boulevard, reminiscent of a quiet native Florida seashore path, drive through our exquisite residential-lined streets, or simply pass through our town on a scenic drive of A1A, I am sure you will discover the allure of Ocean Ridge.  Our community and government work together and support our Town’s mission...to create and maintain a beautifully landscaped, diverse seaside community built around family and civic pride, state of the art public services and infrastructure that enhances the natural beauty of our Town.

Welcome to Ocean Ridge.
