Named after Palm Beach developer Paris Singer, a son of Isaac Singer, the Singer Sewing Machine magnate, Singer Island has parks, marinas, hiking and bike paths, as well as of sparkling white sand beaches〔http://www.flickr.com/photos/imrananwar/tags/singerisland/〕 that has been considered one of the top five beaches in Palm Beach County. In addition, Singer Island is located from North Palm Beach, from West Palm Beach, from Palm Beach Gardens, from Juno Beach, and from Jupiter. It is said that Singer Island was originally purchased by Paris Singer as a gift for his mistress, who reportedly did not like it. Today it is a picturesque, upscale and pristine living place for thousands of condo owners. The tallest of these is the 42-story "Tiara", which was severely damaged by several hurricanes since 2004 and was still closed for repairs three years later. Residents moved back into the building in 2008. Singer Island is home to professional golfer Michelle McGann, a longtime Singer Island resident. Singer Island was also home to rocker and E Street Band member Clarence Clemons. ==See also== *(Seaspray Inn ) - Singer Island Hotel * Amaryllis (ship) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Singer Island」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
