We love Delray Beach because of its easy walkability. We are on a quiet residential street across from the Intracoastal and walking distance to Atlantic Avenue and Pineapple Grove with wonderful restaurants, shops and galleries. It is also walking distance to the beach and the famous Delray Tennis Club.
Getting around is very easy. The Downtowner (Uber-like app) is a free golf cart shuttle service which will take you to the beach or restaurants etc. Please just tip the driver. There is also Uber, taxis and a free bus that runs up and down Atlantic Avenue. However with so much in such close proximity, you may just want to walk.
