Highland Beach is a town that consists, almost entirely, of its shoreline: three miles of State Road A1A between Boca Raton and Delray Beach, lined with oceanfront condominiums and private beach houses, with the Intracoastal at its back and effectively no commercial district at all. Around four thousand residents chose it for precisely that absence. There is no strip to speak of, no nightlife to spill over, just the Atlantic on one side and quiet money on the other.
A town without storefronts is also a town without taxi ranks, which makes a pre-arranged transfer from Miami International less a luxury than the only sensible plan. The 51-mile trip takes 60 to 70 minutes: I-95 north to the Spanish River Boulevard or Linton Boulevard exit depending on which end of town you call home, then east to A1A and along the ocean to your building. Your chauffeur confirms the condominium name and entrance before pickup, because on this stretch of A1A the lobbies pass quickly.
Snowbirds returning for the season favor the Luxury SUV from $229, seasonal luggage being what it is, while First Class sedans from $189 handle the couple arriving for a winter month and the Business sedan from $129 covers everything routine. Each fare is fixed with meet and greet, waiting time, flight tracking, tolls and parking included, and each car arrives with a cabin cold enough to erase the jet bridge.
Building staff here are particular about arrivals, and rightly so. Give us your tower and your name as the residents’ desk knows it, and the drop-off will be as composed as the town you have chosen.
