About Delray Beach
Delray Beach's public beach runs along A1A at the east end of Atlantic Avenue, the city's busy downtown street of shops and restaurants, so the sand is a short walk from dinner. City Ocean Rescue guards the municipal beach and Atlantic Dunes Park every day of the year. Water is warm most of the year and mild in winter. Rip currents are Florida’s deadliest beach hazard, so check the safety flag and rip-current risk above, follow posted flags, and swim near a lifeguard.
