Enjoy the Beach

Delray Municipal Beach

Just east of Atlantic Avenue, Delray Municipal Beach is an easy place to enjoy Florida's Atlantic coast. Take a morning walk, relax in the sand, watch the sunrise, or enjoy a swim when conditions permit.

The City of Delray Beach provides lifeguard-supervised beaches year-round. Beach entrances include showers, bicycle and towel racks, and drinking fountains. Beach wheelchairs and access mats are also available at designated locations.

​

Tip: Check current beach conditions and flag warnings before entering the water. Florida beach conditions can change quickly, especially with thunderstorms and rip currents.

 

Atlantic Dunes Park

For a quieter beach experience, visit Atlantic Dunes Park at 1605 S. Ocean Boulevard. The park offers beach access, parking and a more natural setting away from the heart of downtown. 

​

Explore Atlantic Avenue

Atlantic Avenue — known locally as “The Ave” — is the center of Delray Beach's downtown experience. The avenue and surrounding streets are filled with restaurants, cafés, boutiques, galleries, public art and places to enjoy an evening out.

It's easy to combine several activities into one outing: grab lunch, browse the shops, walk through the arts district, and continue toward the beach.

Downtown Delray also offers numerous public parking options, including garages, lots and on-street spaces. Visitors can use ParkMobile or parking kiosks to pay for parking.
