About
Incorporated as the Town of Boynton in 1920 and renamed Boynton Beach in 1941, the city calls itself “the Gateway to the Gulf Stream” because the current runs unusually close to shore here. Boynton Harbor Marina, half a mile south of the inlet, runs fishing and dive charters to offshore reefs and wrecks. Five city parks sit on the Intracoastal Waterway, and the city's beach park, Oceanfront Park, lies across the Intracoastal on the barrier island. Three I-95 exits, Florida's Turnpike and a Tri-Rail station tie the city into the rest of the region.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about buying and investing in this area
What is Boynton Beach known for?
Boynton Beach calls itself “the Gateway to the Gulf Stream,” and offshore fishing and diving trips leave from Boynton Harbor Marina near Boynton Inlet. Five city parks line the Intracoastal Waterway.
What types of properties are available in Boynton Beach?
Single-family streets from the 1960s through the 1980s run east of I-95 and near the Intracoastal, and condominium communities, most of them built before the late 1990s, are spread across the city. Newer homes stand near the water, and a small number of condominiums sit on the barrier island.
What amenities and landmarks does Boynton Beach offer?
Boynton Harbor Marina runs fishing and dive charters, and Oceanfront Park, the city's 12-acre beach park, lies on the barrier island across the Intracoastal. Intracoastal Park and the city's other waterfront parks line the mainland shore, while the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge and the Green Cay wetlands lie west of the city.
What should buyers check before purchasing in Boynton Beach?
Confirm whether an address with a Boynton Beach postal name is inside the city or in unincorporated Palm Beach County, since more than half are outside and taxes and services differ. Near the Intracoastal and canals, check the flood zone, elevation, and seawall and dock condition, and in older condominium buildings, review the milestone inspections and reserves.
How do residents get around Boynton Beach?
I-95 serves the city with three exits, at Woolbright Road, Boynton Beach Boulevard and Gateway Boulevard; Florida's Turnpike and Federal Highway are the other main roads, and the Tri-Rail station is on High Ridge Road.
