Ocean Breeze, formerly Ocean Breeze Park, is a town on the Indian River in Martin County, Florida, United States. Ocean Breeze and Briny Breezes in Palm Beach County are the only two towns in Florida in which all residents live in a mobile home park bearing the name of the town. The population was 301 at the 2020 census.[7] The population figures do not include the many part-time winter residents from other places. The town is bordered on three sides by the unincorporated community of Jensen Beach.
