Delray Beach, located about 18 miles south of West Palm Beach on the Atlantic shore, is a city of art, culture, and South Florida charm. Pedestrian-friendly Atlantic Avenue runs through the heart of downtown Delray, a retail and cultural hub offering restaurants, trendy nightclubs, and specialty shops. The downtown area is also home to the Gallery District, a collection of art galleries and studios. During the weekly Gallery Walk on Friday nights, residents can peruse the showrooms and enjoy an evening of art, music and refreshments. Beachgoers will appreciate the clean and beautiful beaches of Delray, which received the "Blue Wave Beach" designation by the Clean Beaches Council in 2004. Other landmarks of the city include the historic Old School Square, the Delray Beach Tennis Center, and the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens.
