About Boca Raton Beach
Boca Raton's beaches are city parks lining A1A, with South Beach Park at the east end of Palmetto Park Road as the closest to downtown. Red Reef and Spanish River parks sit to the north, and Ocean Rescue lifeguards work every day of the year. Water is warm most of the year and mild in winter. Rip currents are Florida’s deadliest beach hazard, so check the safety flag and rip-current risk above, follow posted flags, and swim near a lifeguard.
