City of Delray Beach
On the Southeast Coast of Florida between Boynton Beach and Boca Raton lies the small yet sophisticated town of Delray Beach, where arts and culture meet the sea.
The town boasts two miles of glistening coastline, where beach and water activities attract more than 3 million visitors each year. Swim, surf, wind surf, paddleboard, play volleyball, snorkel, or sail at Delray Municipal Beach, and fish from the pier at Lake Ida.
Downtown Delray Beach’s Atlantic Avenue, which runs through the center of town from I-95 to the ocean, is the longest main street in Florida and brings travelers to boutique hotels, outdoor cafes, and upscale shops.
Visitors to Delray Beach will find a host of museums and art galleries to explore. Learn about the Black history and heritage of Palm Beach County at Spady Cultural History Museum and soak up the serenity of the Japanese gardens at the Morikami Museum. Follow the Delray Beach Art Trail to galleries and cultural centers, murals, and art installations.
Families with children won’t want to miss the Sandoway Discovery Center for animal encounters and to see shark, stingray, and aquarium feedings.
