Things to Do in Delray Beach, FL
Delray Beach runs Atlantic Avenue straight from the train tracks to the sand, and the whole mile is restaurants, bars and galleries that stay busy every night of the week. Add a Blue Wave beach, the Morikami Japanese gardens and a Saturday GreenMarket and you have the most walkable town on this coast.
