The owner of the Seaspray Inn and Beach Resort in Palm Beach Shores has put the property up for auction, according to Pompano Beach-based Fisher Auction Company, which is handling the sale. The 51-room oceanfront property, at 123 South Ocean Avenue, sits between Singer Island and the town of Palm Beach.

The hotel features a restaurant and terrace overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, a swiming pool and bar area on the first floor, parking for 56 cars and about 170 feet of frontage on Ocean Avenue.

It sits on more than a half-acre of land that is already approved for 50,000 square feet of residential development, which includes up to 27 units in a structure no taller than six stories.

The auction will be held June 8 with a minimum bid of $3.75 million. — Adam Fusfeld
