Sip and Swish New Varietals at The Wine Cellar at Boynton Beach

September 3, 2015 by

The Wine Cellar promises its customers "handmade wines at outstanding value," and Boynton Beach regulars enthusiastically agree that this is just what you get at this popular wine shop, which stocks a solid selection of wines from the most well-known producers from around the globe.

But where The Wine Cellar really shines is in its selection of wines from small, family-run wineries that you may never have heard of before entering the store. The store's owners actively seek out niche wines that are made by premium, boutique-style producers in small, artisanal batches. One of the pleasures of buying wine in a shop like this is the opportunity to chat with the knowledgeable and friendly owners as you're in the process of discovering new favorites.

Complimentary tastings every Thursday evening are a good way to try out a few wines before purchasing!

Make a Day of It at Oceanfront Park Beach

August 13, 2015 by

There's no shortage of beaches in the Boynton Beach area, but the largest and most popular public beach can be found at Oceanfront Park. This historic park has been open to the public since Boynton Beach was founded in the 1920s. Just a quarter mile north of Ocean Avenue on A1A, the beach is open and staffed by lifeguards during business hours every day of the year.

Though the sand and surf are the primary attractions, Oceanfront Park also has several amenities across its 12 acres, including a staffed parking lot, a renovated ocean boardwalk, separate picnic and barbecue areas, rental pavilions, a playground for the little ones, and a small concession building where you can get snacks like sandwiches, ice cream, and soda.

There are even clean and well-maintained bathrooms (including private indoor showers), so beach-goers can rinse off after swimming!

Stroll Through Towering Trees at Mangrove Park

July 16, 2015 by

Even a dead end is cause for awe at Mangrove Park. When its boardwalk comes to an abrupt halt, the result is a dock with beautiful views in every direction. Grab a spot on one of its benches and look out across the ebbing waters, topped with speeding boats and fringed with flourishing greenery.

That greenery should look familiar, given that you've just cut right through the thick of it via the snaking boardwalk. True to its name, Mangrove Park features a wooden boardwalk that slices through vibrant mangrove forests. The namesake tree extends directly from the murky waters of the Florida wetlands, gnarled trunks and branches often leaning right over the railings of the boardwalk. Go for a walk or a run along the boardwalk and appreciate the natural beauty of your town along the way.

Everglades Holiday Park: Home of the Gator Boys

June 11, 2015 by

Guests get a uniquely up-close look at the wildlife of Florida at Everglades Holiday Park in a variety of engaging ways. Perhaps the most popular way to appreciate the state's indigenous critters is by visiting one of the live gator shows, hosted by the Gator Boys. You may recognize the team's name if you watch Animal Planet, as the duo Paul Bedard and Jimmy Riffle star on their own program by the same name. Watch part of the pair or another member of the show's cast preside over the "Gator Pit" during the heart-pumping live show, and then hold a baby alligator afterwards.

Everglades Holiday Park also offers tours of the local habitat on airboats, and they're almost as popular as the gator shows. You'll get to spot the toothy animals in their homes atop the unique watercraft. The tour guide will point out other local critters, too, such as snakes and wild birds.
