Boynton Beach

The city of BOYNTON BEACH is the third largest municipality in Palm Beach County with an estimated population of 78,000 residents. Residents of Boynton Beach enjoy a tropical lifestyle with waterfront dining, abundant shopping, and lively entertainment throughout the week. With hundreds of restaurants, outdoor lifestyle shopping centers, and a regional mall, residents do not have to travel outside the City to dine, shop, or be entertained. Boynton Beach has a rich history with two buildings on the National Register of Historic Places.

 

The Boynton Beach Woman’s Club was built in the 1920s by noted Florida architect Madison Mizner and the School House Museum was built in 1913 which served as Boynton’s first school. The Historic Andrews House is the oldest in Boynton Beach built in the early 1900s, Boynton pioneer families lived in frame vernacular homes. Horace Bentley Murray, who built the Boynton Hotel for Michigan investor Maj. Nathan S. Boynton, constructed many of the wood houses, commercial buildings, and swing bridges. Most of these early structures became lost to time with progress, fire, and hurricanes claiming them over the last 120 years. Having the closest entry to the Gulf Stream and the closest entry point to the Boynton Inlet makes Boynton Beach a fishing haven.

On February 4, 1898, while en route from Pensacola to Buenos Aires with a cargo of lumber, a vessel wrecked on the east coast of Florida. The vessel, named, The Lofthus is located approximately ¾ of a mile north of Boynton Beach and 175 yards offshore of Manalapan. It rests in 15-20 feet of water with wreckage rising as much as six feet off the sea floor depending on sand movement. The shipwreck is located within a Florida Underwater Archaeological Preserve, and a laminated underwater guide is available from local dive shops. The preserve is open to the public year-round, free of charge. To avoid anchor loss or damage to the shipwreck, please anchor in the sand.
