In contrast to the Gold Coast—as the Palm Beach/West Palm Beach area is known—is the more rural Treasure Coast, covering northernmost Palm Beach County, plus Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties. Along the coast are barrier islands all the way to Sebastian and beyond. Inland there's cattle ranching in tracts of pine and palmetto scrub, along with sugar and citrus production. Shrimp farming uses techniques for acclimatizing shrimp from saltwater—land near seawater is costly—to freshwater, all the better to serve demand from restaurants popping up all over the region. Despite a growing number of malls and beachfront condominiums, much of the Treasure Coast remains largely blissfully undeveloped.
