New in Town?

So, you just moved to Boca and you're burning with questions. Is I-95 ever sane? Where's the best place to watch the sunset? Can I walk my dog on the beach? Ask us here and, truth seekers that we are, we'll do our best to help you.

Q: What is Boca Raton's history of hurricanes?

Boca Raton, like any city in Florida, has a history of hurricanes—but not necessarily a direct hit.

Q: Where can you walk a dog on the beach?

There used to be a dog beach north of Gulf Stream Park but those days are over.

Q: Do you need a car to live in Boca? Can I bike to places? Public transportation?

It certainly helps to have a car in South Florida (especially one with an air conditioner in the summer). However there are ways to get around town without one.
