Delray Beach
History plays a big role in the identity of the seaside community of Delray Beach, located between Palm Beach and Boca Raton. Delray is considered a leading figure in Florida's growing historic preservation movement, designating several neighborhoods as historic districts in order to preserve the town's illustrious past. In the heart of downtown Delray Beach on boutique- and cafe-lined Atlantic Avenue is Old School Square Cultural Arts Center. The Square has undergone a transformation into a multi-million dollar centerpiece of the historic downtown shopping district and houses a museum and theatre as well as an outdoor entertainment pavilion. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and serves as a central gathering place for the close-knit community.
Adjacent to Old School Square is Pineapple Grove, an area filled with art galleries and sculptures by local artists. The Cornell Museum, the Crest Theatre, the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, the American Orchid Society's world headquarters, the Palm Beach Photographic Centre, Cason Cottage Museum and the Delray Beach Playhouse round out the town's many cultural offerings.
With two dozen hotels and close to 70 restaurants, Delray Beach appeals to residents and visitors alike. The downtown renaissance attracts a vibrant crowd to the myriad dining and entertainment options dotting Atlantic Avenue all the way down to the one of the prettiest stretches of beach in South Florida.
