Finding Comfort in Delray Beach

I was recently reminded that our “Village by the Sea” city boundaries are a mere 4×4 miles. Just a few miles considering this big state, but what a beautiful spot on the map! This month I want to remind everyone that our town provides a lot of beauty, nature, and comfort for all who call it home.

Ever get up early enough to catch the sunrise on Delray beach? My husband and I recently did and were reminded of the miracle of our glorious sunrise. And we were not alone – there were MANY people, both residents and visitors, in awe and silently watching the sun come up over the water. Birds were flying as if on command, waves were rolling in and the glory of the sun lit the sky. What a beautiful comfort our sweet village gives us every day. Haven’t experienced it in a while? I suggest you rise early and head to the beach!

That’s not all of it…. let’s continue our search for comfort through the wonder of nature in Delray. Our Lady Atlantic yacht cruise offers two trips up and down the intercoastal daily. Jump on at Veterans Park and let the breeze blow through your hair. Check out the beautiful homes and boats and tropical landscape. Then just breathe and relax. What a comfort this local boat ride can offer. Yup, right in our town.

Drive west for some international comfort. Visit Morikami Park to experience a window into Japan through gardens, exhibits, history, and cuisine. Witness the peace and quietude of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony and learn about the history of this beautiful park.

Or experience our natural wetlands at Wakodahatchee Park. Stroll down the boardwalk and take in the comfort and beauty of true Florida nature. Over 178 bird species, turtles, alligators, fish, frogs and more have been identified. Marvel at the magic of Florida’s landscape right here in our town. And for FREE!

Perhaps all the quiet of nature is not your thing. Then venture downtown to the heartbeat of this village, Atlantic Avenue. Stroll, sip a coffee, grab a drink, listen to music or people watch. Grab an ice cream or gelato and sit on a bench – and let the comfort and hustle bustle of this sweet town wash over you.

Then smile because you have found a little slice of paradise. A place to call home in our “Village by the Sea.”

We are Delray and we LOVE the comfort of our town!
