Out & About, Delray Beach, Florida, Village by the Sea, Palm Beach County
Isolated thunder showers is what I saw on the forecast for Delray Beach….not again. I needed to take a walk and smell the ocean. Not before having coffee, though. I took off for the beach on a cloudy and soooooo windy morning. The beach looked pretty.
Delray Beach is such a walkable town. On A1A, at that time of the early morning, people were walking their dogs, exercising and just enjoying the day.
Seagate Beach Club
I had not thought about stopping at the Visitor Information Center on the corner of Atlantic Avenue and A1A. But, there I was. It was tiny, but it had all kinds of information. Even if you think you know everything that is happening in town, you can still find new events and activities in this Village by the Sea at the Visitor Info. Center. Pictures on its walls depict a Delray so long ago.
It was interesting to see this part of A1A so quiet; a few hours later you could not find parking.
Windy A1A
I went by the Sandoway Park. This park is located at 130 South Ocean Blvd. (A1A), just south of Atlantic Ave. It is a small park with benches, restrooms, drinking fountain and vending machines. It opens at 8 a.m. and closes at dusk. Since it is right across the municipal beach, it is very accessible. Plenty of parking available.
Therefore, if you are trying to find parking on the beach remember to turn on Ingraham.
Have a good one!!
