Boca Raton, often simply called “Boca,” is the southernmost city in Palm Beach County, Florida. Incorporated in 1915, the city has grown into one of South Florida’s most upscale and vibrant communities. Known for its pristine beaches, luxury lifestyle, and strong sense of community, Boca Raton blends coastal relaxation with urban sophistication. Boca’s beaches are among the best in the region, with Red Reef Park and South Inlet Park offering calm waters, picnic areas, and great snorkeling right off the shore — no boat required. Nature lovers can also explore the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, a coastal preserve and marine research facility jointly operated by the City of Boca Raton, Florida Atlantic University (FAU), and the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District. Visitors can enjoy scenic boardwalks through shaded hammocks, butterfly gardens, and sea turtle rehabilitation exhibits, while FAU students conduct marine life research on-site.
