Getting There
Like the rest of the cities on the Gold Coast, Boca Raton and Delray are easily reached from I-95 or the Florida Turnpike. Both the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and the Palm Beach International Airport are about 20 minutes away. Amtrak (tel. 800/USA-RAIL; www.amtrak.com) trains make stops in Delray Beach at an unattended station at 345 S. Congress Ave.
