Delray Public Beach at Atlantic Avenue has the bluest and clearest water of any beach in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, or North Carolina, according to a recent beach.com analysis of 1,346 beaches.
“Florida’s Atlantic coast, particularly Palm Beach County, is home to the bluest, clearest water and highest-rated experiences in the Southeast,” the site said of its analysis that included using NASA satellite data.
The analysis said Delray Beach’s public beach “has the most optically pristine beach waters in the analysis.”
However, the city’s beach didn’t make the Top 12 overall for beaches in the Southeast. The top three were in the county — Ocean Reef Park in Riviera Beach came in first; Riviera Beach was second, and John D. MacArthur Beach State Park in North Palm Beach and Carlin Park in Jupiter tied for third.
Delray Public Beach tied for 38th place. Gulfstream Park in the County Pocket was the top-rated South County beach. It tied for 23rd.
