Uncrowded sand backed by parkland instead of hotels.
Boca Raton Beach is in Palm Beach County, Florida, on the Atlantic coast.
Boca Raton Beach sits near the south end of Palm Beach County's shoreline, with Pompano Beach about eight miles south and Delray Beach about the same distance north. Parking here charges separate resident and non-resident rates rather than a flat meter fee, and lifeguards work the sand seasonally. Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, with its sea turtle rehabilitation tanks, sits in the beachfront parkland here.

Weather and marine forecasts come from the National Weather Service at Boca Raton Airport (KBCT).
Red tide readings come from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission monitoring map.
Red tide blooms of Karenia brevis are a Gulf coast story almost exclusively, and Palm Beach County's Atlantic shoreline sees them only rarely, when a bloom drifts around the peninsula. Florida's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission still tracks Boca Raton Beach on its statewide monitoring map. See today's statewide red tide status.
That depends on the flag and the surf, and both change through the day. Coasti shows the posted lifeguard flag when a current one exists, and estimates from surf, wind and rip-current risk when it does not. Today's answer for Boca Raton Beach loads at the top of this page.
