Boca Raton Beaches

The Gulf Stream weaves its way closer to Boca Raton than any place else on the Florida coast. Because of these balmy breezes, Boca Raton is an ideal place for all the fun of Florida recreation. Watersports in the area include drift fishing, sailing, water-skiing and surfing. Scuba diving is also popular along these sunny shores where a variety of reefs and wrecks hug the coastline. For the less adventurous, the beaches here are ideal for simply idling a day away.
