Don’t Miss These…
This is a pic of the Sandbar in Delray Beach. They’ve got a huge patio, a daily drink special (sometimes more), a few vegetarian options, and they’re directly across A1A from the beach. There are a couple of other choices in this same stretch (Caffe Luna Rosa, 50 Ocean, Boston’s on the Beach, BurgerFi) but in our opinion, the Sandbar has the best outdoor dining/patio. If you decide to check it out, the address is 40 S Ocean Blvd, Delray Beach, 33483 (near the corner of E Atlantic Avenue & A1A).
“My candle burns at both ends / It will not last the night / But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends / It gives a lovely light!” As relevant today as it was a century ago, this poem titled ‘First Fig’ originally appeared in the June 1918 edition of Poetry magazine. It was written by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Edna St. Vincent Millay and according to BocaRatonNews.com, from 1935 to 1936 Millay rented a home in Delray Beach as a member of the city’s flourishing 1930s Artists and Writers Colony. Today, Delray Beach continues its legacy as a thriving artist community and while many things have changed since Millay walked the streets here, it’s likely this spectacular view has not.
LANTANA: The Town of Lantana is named for the genus Lantana, a family of perennial flowering plants native to tropical regions, including South Florida. According to The Coastal Star (thecoastalstar.com) in 1887, the Lyman family — considered to be Lantana’s founding family — arrived and built a home on what then became Lyman Point. This home is now the location of the Old Key Lime House restaurant you see pictured here and if you decide to come and explore this beautiful area and are looking for a place to start, here’s the address to the restaurant – 300 E Ocean Ave., 33462.
