🫶 We got your back
Brews: Summer’s here and it’s time to trade beach towels for beer flights. Check out these brewery picks in Delray Beach for everything from crisp coastal ales to bold barrel‐aged sips.

Coffee: For those who believe coffee is less “morning fuel” and more “liquid art form,” Cumbres Coffee Roasters has you covered.

🦞 Cousins Maine Lobster @ Delray Medical Center | Wednesday (8/27) at 11:00am – If you need a midweek pick-me-up, a truck full of fresh Maine lobster is parked by Delray Medical Center, dishing lobster rolls that taste like East Coast summers in every bite.

🍳 2025 Annual Delray Chamber Education Fund Breakfast @ Delray Beach Golf Club | Thursday (8/28) at 8:00am – Nothing perks you up like sunny-side eggs and a line-up of local changemakers pushing Delray’s schools forward.

🚪 The Dirty Doors – A Tribute to The Doors @ Arts Garage | Saturday (8/30) at 8:00pm – In case you’ve forgotten how poetry and power chords coexisted, The Dirty Doors nail Jim Morrison’s swagger and every classic, from “Light My Fire” to “Riders on the Storm.” Perfect for those nights when your living room just won’t cut it.
🎶 Xperimento featuring Glass Cities @ Crazy Uncle Mikes | Saturday (8/30) at 8:30pm – Crazy Uncle Mike’s just scored Xperimento and Glass Cities as a double feature.

A five-bedroom stunner with its own office and home theater, this Tropic Isle classic lines up 90 feet of deepwater frontage for serious boat envy. The kitchen is all about good looks and good sense, flowing into a family room that begs for movie nights or spontaneous dance parties. Walls of windows and breezy outdoor spaces keep the water in view from just about everywhere.
Solid construction means peace of mind, while a three-car garage keeps the toys covered. Set in one of Delray Beach’s most coveted neighborhoods, it’s waterfront living with a side of wow.
