Coastal Living names Delray Beach one of America's Happiest Seaside Towns 2015  /   Now It's Time to Go for #1!

(Delray Beach, FL - February 13, 2015) Clap  along if you know what happiness is to you…or in this case, cast your vote.    Coastal Living, the leading authority on coastal home and travel , has listed Delray Beach on its fourth annual top ten list of America’s Happiest Seaside Towns.   Now it’s up to all our happy Delrayians to vote to make us number one.

Through  March 31, consumers can vote for their favorite town to determine which will be named Coastal Living’s No. 1 Happiest Seaside Town in America. The 2015 list of the happiest places to live by the sea is live on www.coastalliving.com/happytowns2015 and in the March issue of Coastal Living.

"This  is a win for the whole city already, now we just need to band together as the happy community we are to win number one,” proclaims Stephanie Immelman, Executive Director of the Delray Beach Marketing Cooperative.

Entities  such as the Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Development Authority, and private organizations will all be reaching out through their channels to help get a victory.   The City will be receiving national press and it is a great opportunity to involve everyone in this effort.

"It's  great to be nationally recognized for something the locals have known all along”, said Delray Beach Mayor Cary Glickstein. “People that visit here tend to want to stay. There are a lot of reasons to be happy in Delray Beach.

The  2015 finalists for “America’s Happiest Seaside Towns” were chosen by Coastal Living editors by first reviewing destinations that have been listed in the past as Coastal Living Dream Towns, along with towns that are nominated by readers via social media. They then collected each town's rank on the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, percentage of sunny days, air quality, healthiness of beaches, commute times, crime ratings, walkability, standard of living and financial well-being of the locals, geographic diversity, and Coastal Living editors' assessment of each town's "coastal vibe."

This is another title the entire city can be proud of, and what better reason to work together to achieve a goal than happiness.

Spread  the word on social media with #CLHappyTown and vote online at www.coastalliving.com/happytowns2015 . Coastal Living will feature the No. 1 Happiest Seaside Town in the July/August issue of Coastal Living, on newsstands June 19, and on www.coastalliving.com.
