Ocean Ridge is a barrier-island town between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, bordered at its north end by the Boynton Inlet, where direct salt-air exposure makes regular inspection of metal chimney caps and flashing essential to prevent corrosion-driven leaks. Near the South Lake Worth (Boynton) Inlet at the town's north end, Ocean Ridge housing sets the terms for a fireplace maintenance: mid-century and later single-family oceanfront and Intracoastal homes on the barrier island, masonry block construction with stucco-clad or masonry chimneys.
