Located between Delray Beach and West Palm
Beach, Boynton Beach is in the heart of Florida's Gold Coast.
Boasting some of the finest watersports in the state of Florida, Boynton
Beach offers excellent drift fishing and scuba diving off its wide sandy
beaches. World-class golf courses, dozens of restaurants and pubs, and
relaxed shopping in the Boynton Beach Mall and many unique specialty
shops round out the range of available activities.
Boynton Beach has some of the finest diving in North America. On an
average day, the warm waters of the Gulf Stream flow just
mile or two off the shore, producing warm and
clear diving conditions that rival those found in the Caribbean. The
depths of the ocean offer divers a beautiful playground in which to
examine the creatures of the sea. With many local dive boat operators
and shops, there are opportunities for beginners and experts alike. The
warm, tropical waters and three
major reef systems just a few hundred yards offshore are
teeming with marine life including coral, morays, sharks, barracudas,
sea turtles and shoals of colorful fish.
The feel of old Florida is is readily apparent in the area. Knollwood
Groves, a popular attraction, lets visitors discover Native American
life and see how a booming citrus market during the early part of the
century helped carve cities out of the Everglades. The Loxahatchee
National Wildlife Refuge is a great place to learn about endangered
animal and plant life native to South Florida.
