What it is

A boardwalk and wildlife in Delray Beach, Palm Beach County. It's free to visit, short on shade and easy with a stroller — good for babies through big kids.

Know before you go
Three-quarter-mile boardwalk over the wetlands — wading birds, turtles, and gators at eye level. Almost no shade, so treat it as a before-10am outing.

    Free, and the wetlands themselves are free to enter. The lot is small for how popular it is: the county warns that in February, March and April you may have to wait for a space to open up. Come early in peak birding season. Open 6am to 7pm daily.
