Travel Information
If you've never been to South Florida, you're in for a treat. We hope you can take a long weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery that Delray Beach has to offer.Weather
In February, the average high temperature is 76?F and the average low temperature is 58?F. February is also the driest month, so don't make us jinx the weather by saying it won't rain. :)The average ocean temperature is in the low 70's (way too cold for our Floridian guests, but probably just the right temperature for our California guests). So feel free to bring your bathing suits for a trip to the beach.
Airports
The closest airport is Palm Beach International (PBI) and is about 25 minutes north of Delray Beach.The next closest airport, which sometimes has cheaper fares, is Fort Lauderdale / Hollywood International (FLL) and is about 40 minutes south of Delray Beach.
The next reasonably close airport is Miami International (MIA) and is about 1 hour south of Delray Beach.
Transportation
South Florida is not well known for its public transportation, but Delray Beach is a small town and you can walk to a lot of places downtown. If you're on a very tight budget and are staying in downtown Delray Beach and you are flying into either FLL or MIA, you can catch the Tri-Rail from the airport to Delray Beach and either walk or catch a cab from there to your hotel.We really recommend that you rent a car, though. It will make your trip much easier as even cabs are hard to find in South Florida. If you're on a tight budget, we can help you find some people to split a car with you, and save money that way.
Hotels
The hotels in Delray Beach tend to be boutique hotels with limited rooms. If you're on a budget or looking to stay at your favorite hotel chain, look for options in nearby Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, Boca Raton, or Deerfield Beach.Below are some Delray Beach options. Be sure to book early as February is the busy season and these hotels have very limited availability!
Colony Hotel
The Colony Hotel is a boutique bed and breakfast hotel in downtown Delray Beach. It is walking distance to the wedding site, and only has a few rooms, so book quickly if you'd like to stay here!This hotel is definitely 'old Florida' and is on the national historic registry. Really a beautiful treasure in Delray. And don't worry about missing the beach. The Colony hotel has a Cabana Club for hotel guests. It includes 250' of private beach, a heated salt water pool, and shuttle service to / from the hotel.
