This beach is really clean and nice. My only issue is that the lifeguards are the fun police.. No boogie boarding , skim boarding , playing nerd football in the water area. They have volleyball nets set up if you like that. The key is set up at the north or south ends of the beach. Once you pass the brown sign that says lifeguards not past this point, you will find surfing, boogie and skim boards as well a place you can take your dog because no dogs allowed on delray public beaches. If you come at a time of the year when seaweed is present come early in the day because the city cleans the beach and that is nice. Free parking is available off Atlantic and then you use the free golf cart service to pick / drop you off. I only do this when the metered parking on ocean blvd/ A1A is not available.
