Situated on 50 acres of previous wastewater utility property, Wakodahatchee is a constructed wetlands that is free to the public. The site features a three-quarter mile boardwalk that crosses between open water pond areas and islands. A part of the South section of the Great Florida Birding Trail, Wakodahatchee is home to an abundance of wildlife as more than 178 bird species have been identified along with turtles, alligators, rabbits, fish, frogs and raccooons.
Beautiful wetlands, for birding can see lots of birds any time of day, but morning is best, they open at 6:30am. Nice easy boardwalk that is about a mile long. I took a bird photography class a couple years ago and the class came here for several days. I have been back many times since. We saw dozens of different types of animals, a cottonmouth snake, marsh bunny, gators big and small, great blue herons, tricolor herons, snowy egrets, great egrets, swamp hens, black bellied whistling ducks, little blue herons. In late January and February there are loads of nesting birds including blue herons, cormorants, anhingas, little blue, tricolor, common moore hens, purple gallinules, ospreys, and hundreds of endangered wood storks, it is really a fantastic place to get great photographs! But parking is limited so often wait in line for a few minutes to get a parking place. Also take water with you, it can get hot.

Considered the main street of Delray Beach, this busy thoroughfare offers a mélange of antique shops, galleries, clothing boutiques, jewelry and gift selections, in addition to a number of fine restaurants and clubs.
A great street maybe the best in fla goes all the way to the ocean. Loaded with shops, you name it Atlantic ave has it. Many great restaurants and cafes line both sides of the Ave, it's a foodies delight. Italian, steak houses, Japanese, Chinese, coffee houses, ice cream parlors, this street has it all. Walk all the way to the water and there are many great spots to dine facing the water.

A Japanese cultural history museum.
These gardens are well maintained and beautiful in all seasons of the year. The museum has a authentic replica of a Japanese Tea room and if you’re there when the tea ceremony is done you’re in for a wonderful learning experience. The museum has different exhibitions so there is something new when you return. The bonsai garden is spectacular- don’t miss it. After you’ve walked through the gardens and worked up an appetite, have a bite to eat at the Cornell Cafe. The food is delicious. It can be very hot in summer, so bring your sunscreen and hat and maybe and go early in the day. They host festivals on some weekends during the year that are a lot of fun for the kids. Check their website for the exact dates. There is an self guided audio tour that you can purchase at the gift shop that explains the different style of Japanese gardens that are within the park. Listening to it as you walk through definitely enhances your visit.

My son (59) and I (85) went to Putt'n Around yesterday. I had misgivings about going, but I had a vey enjoyable time. There are 2 courses - Everglades and Ocean. I had read that Everglades was easier and expected to play on that course. It was a holiday weekend so there were many parents and children on Everglades. We decided to play on Ocean. It was really not that difficult. I was having so much fun that after 18 holes on Ocean we played 18 holes on Everglades. I was afraid it would be too hot, but the landscaping provides cover and it was very pleasant. Go! You will have a good time.

We just love visiting The Girls! From the unique memorabilia and candies to the wonderful petting zoo and bird sanctuary, it is a delightful place for the whole family to visit and enjoy. You can have tasty ice-cream and Italian food with spectacular pizza from Babinis next door. The staff is fun and makes visits to the locale enjoyable for all. This is one that I recommend whether you are local to the area or just visiting!

Great beach with a quieter vibe. Just down from “Delray Beach”, this is the same piece of ocean, just a more laid-back location, away from the crowd of Atlantic Avenue. Wide beach with beautifully soft sand, the water is warm and inviting. Pack your lunch, get there early or late in the day as parking is pretty limited and set up your beach site. Enjoy.

I love this beach! Super clean and often not too crowded. Parking is good and there are showers for rinsing. Great business there to rent chairs and umbrellas.

Serving for over 25 years as the community’s gathering place, the historic campus includes the intimate Crest Theatre (in the restored 1925 Delray High School building) the Cornell Art Museum (in the 1913 Delray Elementary building), and the Fieldhouse (c. 1925).
