Delray Beach: Relaxed Beauty on the Gold Coast
Delray Beach, Florida is a perfect spot for soaking up some sun or having fun in the great outdoors. With 2 miles of pristine white sand beaches, Atlantic Dunes Beach and Delray Beach Public Beach make great spots for sunbathing, wind surfing, jet skiing, water skiing, and other boating related activities. If you are a scuba diver, you might want to check out the wreck of the SS Inchulva, which sank in a hurricane in 1903, and is a registered Florida landmark.
Delray Beach is more relaxed than its next door neighbor, ritzier Boca Raton. Take some time during your stay in Delray Beach to check out one of the most glamorous areas in America.
Boca Raton: Elegant and Inviting
The history of Boca Raton, Florida, is rooted the Native Americans, Spanish explorers, pirates, and American soldiers that called the shores around Boca Raton home. Henry Flagler's railroad connected Boca Raton to all points north, and Flagler encouraged businessmen to try and develop the area. One such business man, George Sukeji Morikami, a successful pineapple farmer, donated the land that now houses a local Japanese museum.
A vacation to affluent Boca can be spent either indoors at one of the many museums in the area, shopping at some of the prestigious stores located in Mizner Park, or outdoors soaking up the Florida sunshine.
For outdoor adventures, sunbathing can be found at both South Beach Park, and Spanish River Park Beach. Both venues have picnic facilities and lifeguards on duty. Golf is also very popular in Boca Raton. With over 20 courses, every golfer will find a loop that will challenge their skill level. The area is also a prime scuba diving spot, and boats can be rented for full-day or half-day excursions.
If you are an art aficionado, take some time to check out the Boca Raton Museum of Art. The museum houses a combination of prestigious 19th century oils, internationally famous pieces, and works by local artists. The museum has an extensive education program and conducts tours on a regular basis highlighting aspects of the museum and its exhibits.
Set aside some time for the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. The museum is a monument to Japanese culture and houses a collection of Japanese artifacts, a garden that is highlighted by the koi-filled moat and large bonsai collection.
For something out of the ordinary, visit the International Museum of Cartoon Art, America's first and only international museum devoted to the collection, preservation, exhibition and study of world-class cartoon art. It is the only museum of its kind with cartoonists represented from over 50 countries. Its collection of over 160,000 original drawings includes every genre of the art: animation, comic books, comic strips, gag cartoons, illustration, editorial, cartoons, greeting cards, caricature, graphic novels, sports cartoons, and computer-generated art. See works by such acclaimed cartoonists as Charles Schultz (Peanuts), Bil Keane (The Family Circus), Otto Messmer (Felix the Cat), and Garry Trudeau (Doonesbury), among others.
Boca Raton is also a great spot for jumping off into other Florida vacation destinations. Miami, and its famous South Beach, is less than an hour away. The refined golf heaven of Naples is less than 2 hours west. Or, for a more traditional foray into Florida vacationing, Disney World, Epcot, Universal, and Sea World are all about 3 hours away.
Boca Raton has a grace cultivated by a commitment to the Arts, architectural integrity, and culture. Don't miss the chance to visit this pristine paradise!
