Boynton Beach
Coastal city between Delray and Lake Worth. Gated communities, the Intracoastal, and easy beach access.
Boynton Beach sits on the Atlantic between Delray Beach to the south and Lake Worth to the north, with the Intracoastal Waterway running through it and a working inlet to the ocean.
