Delray Beach

 

Delray Beach is one of South Florida’s premier resort destinations and a diverse, vibrant, community situated on the Atlantic Ocean between Boca Raton and West Palm Beach. A small and intimate town with big-city sophistication, Delray Beach is 20-30 minutes from Palm Beach International Airport and 35-45 minutes to Fort Lauderdale International Airport, and only an hour north of Miami. Delray Beach has been a winner of the coveted All-America City award twice (1993 and 2001), Delray Beach celebrates its art, culture, and history.

 

 

On July 25th, 2012, Delray Beach was named Most Fun Small Town in the USA by Rand McNally, USA Today, and the Travel Channel on a nationally televised special, Best of the Road. There are plenty of reasons that Delray Beach won this award! In addition, Coastal Living magazine rated Delray #3 on its list of “The 10 Happiest Seaside Towns” in 2015.″

 

Delray’s Atlantic Avenue, which runs through the center of town from I-95 to the ocean, is the longest Main Street in Florida. A popular destination for locals and visitors alike, Atlantic Avenue is a charming streetscape filled with upscale shops, fine restaurants, and nightly entertainment. The downtown is known, around the world, for its family-friendly festivals such as the Delray Affair and Delray Beach Garlic Fest and for its famous 100-foot Christmas Tree, where visitors can walk inside to see animated displays. Come for the Tree lighting and meet Santa. During the season the calendar is full of fantastic events for residents and visitors.

 

 

Delray Beach’s booming art scene is an experience for the eyes and the soul! More than 20 galleries and public art pieces are located downtown and in the Pineapple Grove Arts District, home to Artists Alley, where you will find working artists in their studios. Gallery Walks draw visitors on Friday nights from October to April. Delray Beach’s signature event, On The Ave, is held five times a year, and always features food, music, and an outdoor art gallery.
