Boca Raton Florida

Boca Raton is a resort town on Florida’s Atlantic sea coast with a population of approximately 80,000. It is both a prestigious residential address as well as a popular Florida vacation destination.

Thanks to far sighted and ecologically sensitive town fathers, Boca Raton has preserved much of the shoreline in its natural state and resisted the temptation for more hotels and condominium accommodation.
 
The town enjoys a reputation as having one of the nations' best maintained shorelines. The beachfront parks are without peer anywhere else in Florida, with free beach access to pedestrians and cyclists.

Entertainment is primarily leisure sports, excellent dining choices from silver service to finger foods, and up market shopping through the Town Center Mall's numerous specialty shops and huge department stores.

For a comparatively small town, Boca Raton boasts a fine collection of art museums, ranging from traditional exhibits of famous artists through to a showcase of sporting memorabilia.   

Delray Beach sceneIt is said that Boca Raton is run by grand-mothers volunteering their time and it is therefore not surprising to find excellent facilities and attractions for small children.

Being a favored address for the affluent, Boca Raton follows the same trend seen elsewhere throughout Florida, namely lots and lots of golf courses.

There are 145 courses in the Boca Raton area which just goes to show the impact that this game has had on the Florida landscape. Many of the courses are associated with resorts that offer Florida golf vacation packages.

Due to their proximity, Boca Raton and Delray can easily be enjoyed together. Travelers on a budget may opt to eat and find lodgings in Delray and travel into Boca Raton for the sightseeing, beaches and other attractions.

Getting There And Getting Around

The Palm Beach International Airport is serviced by several major airlines such as Air Canada, American Airlines, Continental, Delta and AirTran. Several economy carries also operate flights to and from the airport. The airport at Fort Lauderdale is approximately the same distance from Boca Raton as the Palm Beach facility. 

The Palm Tran operates services from Miami and includes a service to Boca Raton. In downtown Boca, the Tri-Rail station provides shuttles services to both airports.

Amtrak has a terminal in West Palm Beach.

Most vacationers will opt for a car in the Boca Raton and Delray Beach area.
