any point than about 3/4 of a mile. It originally sat next to Lake Worth on the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, but the lake was transformed into an inland waterway. So that means the Coast Guard must patrol both the waterway and the Atlantic sides of the island.

History of Palm Beach -- the island, not the city, is interesting. According to my copy of Roosevelt's WPA (Works Projects Administration) guidebook to Florida -- Palm Beach "has no Negro settlement, and Negroes are not allowed on the streets after dark, unless actively employed in the city."

It is a rarified atmosphere. Only for the fittest-of-the-fit like Donald J. Trump.
