Packed with boutique shops, trendy cafés, and vibrant nightlife, Atlantic Avenue is the beating heart of Delray Beach. In the spring, the palm-lined streets are bustling with outdoor diners and the tantalizing scent of fresh seafood drifting from the many restaurants.

Must-do: Stop by one of the area’s rooftop bars for a fruity cocktail with a view, or grab a fresh juice at a local café to sip while you explore.

6. Freshen up your space with a spring clean

As well as getting outdoors, spring is also the perfect time to refresh your home. Decluttering can help create a more open and calming space, and seasonal storage solutions make it easy to transition from winter to spring.

8. Take a sunset cruise along the Intracoastal

One of the number one ways to experience Delray Beach in the spring is from the water. A sunset cruise along the Intracoastal Waterway offers picture-perfect views and a chance to see luxurious waterfront homes. Several local companies offer boat tours that include drinks and light bites, so look out for the best prices.

Our advice: Book a private charter for a more personalized experience or join a group cruise for a fun evening with friends.

10. Find Your zen with beach yoga

If you’re looking for an effective way to recharge this spring, try an early morning or sunset beach yoga session. Many local instructors offer classes right on the sand, where you can stretch and flow with the sound of the waves in the background.

Why it’s worth it: Practicing yoga outdoors helps reduce stress and connect with nature—all while soaking in that fresh ocean air.
