See, feel
Delray Beach welcomes visitors with graceful palms, expansive dunes, a generous beach thick with light brown sand, and a vast panorama of blue ocean and surf. Umbrellas, cabanas and chairs invite you to sit down and enjoy the day, while sailboats lined on beach, paddleboarders, and wind surfers pay homage to Delray’s adventurous spirit. Everyone has a place here: active older adults, toddlers, teens, couples and young people. As you can imagine, it’s popular, so you can anticipate some crowds on weekends, but you’ll always have room to spread out your beach towel. Expect some waves, which will vary depending on the tides, winds and offshore systems.
