Parking downtown in Delray Beach, Florida follows a four-tier price rule published by the Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA): Atlantic Avenue $4 an hour, side streets near Atlantic $3 an hour, parking lots near Atlantic $2 an hour and parking garages $1.50 an hour. The DDA adds that free parking is available on side streets and lots more than a block off Atlantic. Every rate on this page is quoted from the DDA parking pages as read on Oct. 20, 2026. The City of Delray Beach owns the public garages and lots; its own parking pages did not load for us, so where the DDA and the signs at the lot disagree, follow the signs.

Private garages and lots
The DDA says that if a lot or garage is not on its list, it is likely private: these are not regulated by the city, and rates may be significantly higher. One private garage the DDA does list is the Delray Beach Market Garage at 315 SE 1st St: $7 flat Monday to Thursday and $10 flat Friday to Sunday, each with a 12-hour limit, and payment is required within 15 minutes of entering.

Accessible parking
The DDA parking pages do not publish counts of accessible spaces, and we did not find the City’s rules for disabled permits at meters, so we do not state them. Ask Park Delray Beach at (561) 265-2100. At the beach, the City lends free surf chairs from four towers; see the beach page.
