Perhaps Highland Beach’s quiet demeanor and unspoiled beaches are so many loggerhead turtles chose to settle their nests on its white sand coastline. Truly, the topography is a perfect blend of natural beauty and elegant estates.

Officially incorporated in 1949, Highland Beach was originally inhabited by Native Americans -- most likely the Tequesta Indian tribe. Pirates and other explorers spent time on the land as well, but the town attributes much of its development, as well as its colorful flora and fuana, to Japanese Settlers. In the early 1900s, Japanese settlers called the area Yamato and successfully cultivated pineapples and vegetables. Pineapple farm owner and businessman George Morikami eventually donated part of the land in Delray Beach for the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. Here, residents and visitors enjoy learning about South Florida’s connection to Japan; strolling through the unique gardens which showcase Japan’s flora and fauna designs; and attending annual events such as the Hatsume Fair, Lantern Festival, and Oshogatsu Celebration.
