But there's truly something for everyone in beautiful Boca, whether you're seeking a sprawling waterfront villa, a welcoming single-family home, or a modern condo with stunning views.

As Palm Beach County's southernmost city, Boca Raton proper is home to just over 90,000 residents, with about 200,000 more living in the Boca Raton metro-area. Though it's just 43 miles north of Miami, Boca Raton is a significant economic and cultural center in its own right and serves as a popular destination for those seeking fine dining, shopping, golf, and taking advantage of Boca's gorgeous beaches, thanks to the city's location on the Atlantic coast.

Among the don't-miss miles of pristine beaches in Boca, you'll find Red Reef Park, Spanish River Park and South Beach. All offer soft sand, water sports like kayaking, swimming and snorkeling, and lifeguard protection seven days a week, all year round. Between Red Reef and South Beach you'll find the Gumbo Limo Nature Center, the perfect place to take a stroll through the mangroves along the boardwalk, catch glimpses of resident sea turtles at the rehabilitation center, and explore a butterfly garden. For more outdoor fun, try out Boca Raton's many golf courses. With more than a dozen public and private options within a short distance, you'll find exclusive country clubs, executive and championship courses galore. Boca is truly a golfer's paradise. 

After a day on the beach or the greens, head into town to enjoy Boca Raton's fine dining. There's a reason why the city is known for its eateries; here you'll find top-rated restaurants of all varieties, from fresh Atlantic seafood to casual cafés, as well as authentic Caribbean and Creole fare.
