Manalapan is a unique municipality of beauty and quality of life. Snuggled on the eastern shore of one of the fastest growing areas of Florida, it remains a small and quiet community. The geographical configuration of the community is unique in that two separate areas exist, contiguous only by water. That portion along A1A between the Lantana Public Beach and the South Lake Worth Inlet, more commonly called Boynton Inlet, is the best-known area because of travel along the main north south highway. Sharing Hypoluxo Island with the Town of Lantana, the more secluded area of Manalapan occupies about the southern one third of the Island.
406 year round residents swell to a population of about 495 when seasonal or other non-resident homeowners are included. Only a few housing units are rentals and the residential community includes only 4% land area designated as club and commercial. The award winning Eau Palm Beach Resort and Spa is located on A1A in just south of the Ocean Avenue Bridge.
