Gulfstream Park: By the Sea in Boynton Beach

July 3, 2014 by

Florida has no shortage of beachfront real estate, but one of the all-around best places to enjoy the ocean in Boynton Beach is at Gulfstream Park. This 6 acre public park offers a wide range of activities to keep visitors busy. 600 feet of beach frontage is monitored by lifeguards, making it popular for families and swimmers.

Outside of the guarded swimming areas, fishermen and surfers ply their trade on the comfortable waves. There’s also a lot of green space to enjoy, including a picnic area with BBQ grills and a playground for the little ones. One thing to know before you head out is that the parking lot is quite small and it’s a bit of a hike to the beach, so if you don’t show up early enough you might not be able to get a parking spot. Regulars like that the beach is less crowded as a result, though.

Alco Capital Theaters: See Blockbuster Films on a Budget

June 12, 2014 by

If you’re looking for a great bargain in entertainment, grab some spare change and head down to the Alco Capital Theaters in Boynton Beach. This value-priced theater has been pleasing patrons for years with surprisingly well-kept facilities at a very reasonable cost. Regular ticket prices are just $8.50, but the real bargains come with matinees: Shows before 4 p.m. are just $6, and pre-noon shows are a seriously cheap $5.50. Despite the very reasonable prices, the screenings are rarely crowded, making for a much more comfortable and relaxing movie experience.

The projection quality is also fairly high, and movies on offer are first-run, not old flicks that have been out in theaters for some time. They also have one auditorium prepared for 3D screening. Some complain that the popcorn at the concession stands can be a bit stale, but you can always bring your own snacks if that’s an issue!

Boynton Beach Antique Mall: Historic Treasures

May 8, 2014 by

With the steady flow of people relocating to Florida to enjoy the climate and easy living, antique stores in the state have an excellent supply of items. If you’re interested in delving into the past to see what you can discover, a trip to the Boynton Beach Antique Mall should be on your agenda.

From the outside, the place may not look like much – a nondescript building with black-shaded windows – but once you step inside you’ll be dazzled by the incredible selection of antiques within. Over 100 vendors call this place home, each with their own showcases and display areas. Because not all of the vendors are present at any given time, the full-time staff is capable of discussing most but not all of the items for sale. Prices in general are very reasonable. Locals flock here for great selections of furniture, jewelry and vintage clothing.
