Beach Holiday Guide For Visitors In Boca Raton, Florida

By Jony Mozen


This place is a coastal paradise where the stylish oceanfront homes of the wealthy mix with upscale shopping malls and boutiques. Boca Raton is to Florida what Malibu is for Californians on the west coast. Visitors seek out this place because of its fabulous two-mile stretch of pristine beach sand. It's a soul-stirring experience to stand on the beach here in the early morning, when there's no one else around but the seabirds and the dunes, and the only thing in sight is the vastness and shimmer of the Atlantic stretching away towards the horizon.

Boca, as it is known to the locals, is just 40 miles north of Miami. Fort Lauderdale Airport is just 20 minutes away and Palm Beach Airport is the same distance the other way. Most visitors who come here want to get away from the bedlam and enjoy some relaxing downtime on the isolated and serene beaches.

There's no better place on the east coast for a nice and safe family vacation or even just a day out on the beach with the kids. The city has a family-friendly reputation as one of the safest and cleanest communities to live in and work in the U. S. There are lifeguards keeping an eye on things at the beaches from morning to evening all year round, which is a good thing because the blue skies and year-round sunshine make it hard for people to stay away from the beaches.

The best part is that three city parks open out on to the beaches. This allows people to combine a day trip to the beach with a family picnic for the kids, complete with playgrounds, restrooms, grills and picnic tables. Red Reef Park with its man-made reef a bare ten feet from shore is an ideal place to let kids frolic in the water and learn how to swim and explore a whole new world below the water's surface.

Apart from the one-mile beach and lovely waters, another attraction at the 39-acre Red Reef Park is the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center. It's a fascinating place for children and families, offering a butterfly garden and a chance to see all kinds of native species including brown pelicans and manatees. Their aquarium with sharks and sea turtles packs in huge crowds for the live feedings.

The south ends of Red Reef and South Beach parks are designated surfing areas. For other waterfront recreation, sports and fishing, the best place here is the South Inlet Park Beach. This is a county-managed park where people can fish and enjoy the view from the pier. It's also ideal for beach and water sports including windsurfing, jet skiing, sailboarding, volleyball, canoeing and kayaking.

Those seeking more such fun can drive over to Delray Municipal Beach. It's all about sports and recreation, with excellent facilities and conditions for swimming, snorkeling, sailing, surfing and windsurfing. It even has areas marked out for different activities like throwing Frisbees, flying kites and playing paddleball.

Those who think of golf as a religion will find heaven on earth on the oceanfront golf course. Anyone who needs a change from the sun, sand and water will find plenty more in terms of attractions such as the Museum of Art and the Daggerwing Nature Center. Families with kids may also want to check out the children's museum, carousel and science emporium in Sugar Sand Park.
