Best Florida Beaches




 
 

Palm Beach

Whether you’re window shopping along Worth Avenue, practicing your swing at one of the area’s world-class golf courses or lounging on sparking white sands, Palm Beach has something to offer every type of traveler. This glitzy resort town, located about 70 miles north of Miami, is filled to the brim with upscale restaurants, spectacular Gilded Age mansions and sophisticated art galleries. Head to the town’s Municipal Beach to sunbathe and swim, or hit up Phipps Ocean Park for shelling and snorkeling.

 

Delray Beach

Nicknamed «Florida’s Village By the Sea,» Delray Beach appeals to travelers who want the friendly atmosphere of a small town and the entertainment options of a large city. The Wakodahatchee Wetlands and Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens can’t be missed, but nobody could blame you for heading straight for the beach. Located near several shops and eateries, Delray’s Municipal Beach is ideal for active pursuits like snorkeling and paddleboarding. Meanwhile, Atlantic Dunes Park offers a quieter beach experience in a tranquil natural setting. When you’ve had your fill of the beach, stroll down palm tree-lined Atlantic Avenue for upscale shopping and vibrant nightlife.
