About Lake Worth

Tucked in Palm Beach County, this five-square-mile plot of land is home to stunning beaches and world-class golfing. The downtown district is another big draw for visitors to Lake Worth, with the Lake Worth Playhouse and the Museum of the City of Lake Worth. The largest Oktoberfest in Florida is held here, and are annual Street Painting festivals. Lake Worth is also famous as the home of the second-largest population of Finnish people in the world (aside from Stockholm, and of course, Finland). While Lake Worth is close to its ritzy neighbor Palm Beach, the character of the city is distinctly bohemian and artsy, with a large gay and lesbian population and a willingness to accept those who refuse to conform. Lake Worth is also famous as the place “Where the Tropics Begin”. Tropical plants like eucalyptus, mahogany and avocado trees can be found throughout the city.
