Boynton Beach

FIND OLD FLORIDA CHARM AND RUGGED COASTAL BEAUTY.

With its friendly cafes and funky boutiques along the walkable, palm tree-lined Ocean Avenue, Boynton Beach embraces the slow pace of coastal living. This is also the ideal destination to get out and enjoy nature in all its untamed and wild beauty, with waterfront parks, serene wetlands and scenic walking trails.

TOP SIGHTS: Start at Boynton Harbor Marina, where an array of boat charters depart—from fishing to SCUBA. Then, explore the diverse habitat of the 54-acre Seacrest Scrub Natural Area, featuring the wheelchairaccessible Gopher Tortoise Trail. Play on the beach and go swimming at Oceanfront Park, and then let the kids loose at the waterfront Jaycee Park, where a playground, picnic pavilions and a nature preserve offer even more outdoor fun. For more off-the-grid adventures, go fishing, kayaking or wildlife watching in the vast Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, the northern part of the Everglades. When you’re ready for great cuisine and some relaxation, stroll along Ocean Avenue to take your pick from casual restaurants. Or explore the Boynton Beach Brewery District—home to the likes of Copperpoint Brewing Company, where the rotating tap list features inventive creations and visiting food trucks keep the dining options exciting and unexpected.
