Best Boca Beach By Far
I remember going here as a child year after year to snorkel and swim. Coming back 10 years later did not disappoint. If you get a calm day (Summer and Early Fall) then you are in for a treat with tons of fish by the reef. Be aware of the sea weed that comes on shore and in shallow water. The sand is soft (not white and can get very hot). Notes about parking: If you are not a Boca Resident, it is going to be $25 for the day. It's pretty steep. If you are going for 4 hours or less, park across the street at the public golf course for $3 / hour (max 4 hours). That will save you some cash.

Crystal clear Water!!
If you are in the Boca Raton area and have a day to relax, I highly recommend going to Red Reef Park and having a beach day. It is kind of like its own little bubble being it is situated only a 60-75 min north of the Miami hustle and bustle. The beach is very clean and the beach workers you could tell really care about the environment. For people who enjoy snorkeling, this place is probably the best in the Palm Beach, Broward area, and probably Boca's best beach. For my walkers, there are beautiful trails on the intercoastal which is directly across the street. All in Red Reef Park with turquoise blue waters is the place to be.

Soothing Beach
I am a northerner renting in Boca for a month. At the end of the first week, I went to this beach primarily to watch the waves-so soothing! I, too, was taken back by the $25 fee for parking right at Red Reef for just 1-2 hours. However, the entry guard suggested I go to the golf course lot right across the road. The parking fee is only $3/hour, and there are usually plenty of spots, at least in the morning. Each spot is numbered. Remember it and go to the kiosk. Enter your number when requested and follow the directions closely. It's a slow process. No need to put the receipt on your dashboard. Be careful crossing the road; however, there is a pedestrian crossing warning sign for vehicles. Most stop but not all! A clean public bathroom is before the boardwalk ramp. The doors are usually left open. I have been back to Red Reef several times.
