Get to know Lake Clarke Shores

Where else could Lake Clarke Shores be other than Lake Clarke’s tranquil shores? This suburban solitude northwest of Lake Worth Beach in Palm Beach County is named for John Newton Clarke. He acquired a swath of land intending to capitalize on the region’s hospitable pineapple cultivation conditions. Unfortunately, railroad growth made importing from Cuba a cheap alternative that killed Florida’s pineapple industry. Yet, while the fruit trade dried up, the Lake Clarke Shores climate has endlessly obliged humans. Desirable detached homes line the canal-laced streets where joggers, cyclists, and dogs out for a walk outnumber cars much of the day. Lake Clarke, which John Newton Clarke cheekily named after himself, connects directly to the Intracoastal Waterway, making the neighborhood great for boaters — reflected in the numerous lakeside homes with docks. Five public parks add a splash of green to the community, plus spots for rest and recreation.

Living in The Palm Beaches

When the Spanish brigantine “Providencia” ran aground in 1878 with a cargo of 20,000 coconuts, early settlers planted most of them in the sand, sprouting the spindly non-native trees that would come to define South Florida’s preeminent paradise playground. From a singular, namesake enclave on Lake Worth Lagoon grew a cluster of mainland and barrier island communities that would come to collectively be known as The Palm Beaches. What was once predominantly a winter haven for Northeast magnates and moguls is today a thriving metropolitan region, welcoming residents and sojourners alike with world-class culture, a thriving economy, and the quintessential climate to maximize your time outdoors. Whether deep sea fishing off Jupiter Inlet, hitting the links off PGA Boulevard, or mounting on horseback in Wellington, there’s little one can’t enjoy year-round.
