Before it began its ascent as an artistic and cultural hotbed, Boynton Beach Real Estate was long renowned for its access to nature, both over the water and the grasslands. With a largely deciduous ecosystem that gives way to pine scrublands, brackish estuarine waters, and endless seas of grassy wetlands, the city of Boynton Beach is a preeminent destination for ornithologists and amateur birdwatchers. Despite the scale and ongoing development of the many new gated communities in West Boynton Beach, such as Valencia Isles, there are still numerously designated and undesignated wildlife habitats rife with beauty wherever you turn. For those of us keen on witnessing some of the rarest and most stunning birds in America, look no further than Boynton Beach - the Loxahatchee Reserve, Green Cay Wetlands, and so much more. These 5 birds are not all endangered, some aren't even too uncommon, but all represent a taste of the vibrancy, color, and natural beauty that inspires our communities that we share in tandem with nature.

For those looking for everything from a wholesome country breakfast to mimosas and french toast, we give you some of our favorites among the best brunch in Boynton Beach!
We always feel good about a breakfast restaurant with the word "country" in its title. Yet, not every meal served up by this well-regarded breakfast and lunch locale is a decadent biscuits and gravy or cinnamon buns reminiscent of a deep South breakfast. Their omelets, salads, and platters round out a menu that includes the expected breakfast classics, making it one of the better no-frills places to fight a hangover after a long night or take the family out on a crisp winter morning. This family-owned and operated diner shows its care for its food, and those they serve, with every order made from scratch. Nothing is cooked in advance, making the Owl Country Grille one of the best spots for a leisurely sit-down, but perhaps not a grab-and-go location when in a rush.
