Atlantic Avenue is the reason Delray Beach gets called Florida's Village by the Sea. One walkable mile runs east from Swinton Avenue to the ocean, lined with sidewalk cafes under string lights, galleries that stay open late, and restaurants that have collected national attention far out of proportion to the town's size. It is the kind of street where dinner reservations turn into a gallery stroll and then a nightcap without anyone reaching for car keys - which is exactly why arriving without a car of your own is the smarter play.
From Miami International Airport the trip is about 55 miles, most of it a straight run north on I-95 to the Atlantic Avenue exit, taking 55 to 70 minutes in typical traffic. Ours is a long-distance route on the TwelveTransfers fare model, fixed from $129 when you book. Your chauffeur tracks the flight, meets you inside MIA arrivals with a name sign, and handles the luggage while you decide whether the first stop is the hotel or straight to a late lunch on the Ave. Waiting time is included - 30 minutes on domestic arrivals, 60 on international - so a slow bag carousel costs you nothing.
One local note worth knowing: the Avenue closes to traffic for events more often than first-timers expect - Delray Affair in spring, art walks, the 100-foot Christmas tree season at Old School Square. Our drivers run this drop constantly and know which cross streets work when the Ave itself is a pedestrian party, so you are dropped at the door of your hotel or as close to it as the barricades allow, not three blocks away wondering where the car went.
