About Delray Beach

Lovely Delray Beach sits just south of Palm Beach, on Florida’s southeastern coast. This seaside town has attracted visitors since the 19th Century, and has become a particular favourite of artsy visitors, eager to enjoy gallery visits and workshops as well as laid-back beach days. Accommodation options range from historic spots to swish, luxury properties with world-class facilities, fit for a host of tastes and budgets. The best places to stay in Delray Beach are within walking distance of shops, galleries and eateries aplenty, making this a wonderful base for a fun-filled trip with friends and family, or as a couple.

Once known for its liberal attitude to prohibition, Delray Beach had a slightly roguish charm in the past. The community retains a touch of coastal glamour, and history buffs will adore seeing heritage buildings in friendly neighbourhoods. The Pineapple Grove Arts District, with its public art pieces and independent galleries, is a highlight, as are the Cornell Art Museum and the lakeside Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens.

Amble towards Atlantic Avenue for great restaurants, bars and clubs, or kick back on the golden sands of Delray Municipal Beach as a family. There are also opportunities to go hiking, cycling, swimming and sailing in the area. Wildlife enthusiasts, on the other hand, will be especially eager to spot everything from birds to alligators at the Wakodahatchee Wetlands.

TRAVEL INFORMATION

  • Fly into Fort Lauderdale International Airport or to Palm Beach International Airport, before travelling to your destination by bus or taxi.
  • Florida is great for a road trip! Contact our online partner Rentalcars if you would like to hire a car.
  • Travel between December and mid-April for the best weather — though this is also peak season! To avoid the crowds and make the most of hotel offers, time your trip for May or June, before the really hot weather sets in. Florida's hurricane season typically runs from late June until November.
