About – Delray Beach

A Village by the Sea and destination for people seeking to strengthen a bond with friends and loved ones steps away from the silky sand and frothy surf of 2 miles of beautiful, sandy beach. Our famous Atlantic Avenue puts you steps away from unique boutique hotels, award-winning outdoor cafes, friendly bars, unforgettable cuisine, and electric nightlife. Exclusive boutiques, art galleries, and cultural opportunities are all steps away. Feel relaxed, happy, and safe, enjoying both the moment and the memory.
