The small town of Palm City borders the St. Lucie River in Martin County, the heart of South Florida's Treasure Coast. This peaceful community has a population of about 22,000. I-95 and the Turnpike provide easy access to West Palm Beach and the Palm Beach International Airport, about 45 minutes to the south. Palm City is a haven for lovers of outdoor sports and recreation. Golfers will enjoy the first-class courses in a beautiful tropical environment. Several waterfront parks provide access for boating and fishing, and the beach is just a few miles away. Other regional parks offer tennis, bicycling, hiking, horseback riding, picnicking, and camping. One of the largest parks in the area, Phipps Park, provides a boat ramp and overlooks the St. Lucie Locks, where approximately 10,000 boats pass through each year.
