The site was once an historical Florida home that has since been turned into an award-winning Nature Center on the beach. It not only features interactive educational exhibits and programs designed to inspire the minds of young children, future botanists, oceanographers, marine biologists and researchers, but it also provides hands-on activities and experiences for the public to learn about and appreciate aquatic life.
Hours: Monday: closed; Tuesday-Friday: noon-4 p.m.; Saturday: 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; Sunday: noon-4 p.m. (Closed major holidays.)
Location: 142 S. Ocean Blvd., Delray Beach , FL 33483. Call 561-274-7263. Park on site for free.
