The Sandoway Discovery Center is located in a historic 1936 beachfront home in Delray Beach, Florida.

The house is on the National Register of Historic Places and preserved as a unique Nature Center now home to native plants, live animals, and a world class shell collection.

The Center offers a glimpse into South Florida's fragile marine and freshwater environments through educational exhibits and programs.

Sandoway has great atmosphere ! The gardens, though small, are an integral part of the Sandoway House. Where else can you garden while breathing in the ocean air? I've been in this garden for almost a year now and I have enjoyed every weeding moment :)

Sandaway House is a local treasure across from the beach. The visitors are usually tourists or local student groups interested in the historic house, the fish, turtles, snakes, vast sea shell collection, or the daily shark feeding. The staff and volunteers are friendly. Each day brings a new nugget of knowledge, a new friend made, or a rewarding experience.
