Hey everyone, I’m going to Boca in 2 days because I’m moving there in about 5 weeks. I’ve never been before, so I’m trying to get a feel for what it’s like.

I’m 17, so I’m mostly looking for fun stuff to do, places to check out, good spots to eat, hang out, meet people, and just get a better idea of the area before I move. What should I make sure to see while I’m there? Are there any places teens usually go, good beaches, shopping areas, car spots, events, or anything else worth checking out?

Also, what’s Boca actually like for someone my age? Anything I should know before moving there?

Would really appreciate any advice or recommendations.

Hi, I’m 40 with a 6 year old son and single moving from NJ to Boca. How is the vibe? Some people tell me it’s boring and lots of older folks. Do you like living in Boca? It looks like paradise to me. Thanks! 🏝️

I don’t go there often, but does anyone else have the same experience of being fine before going, then immediately warming up 10 minutes of being inside, then sweating? I literally saw a woman waving money at her face as a way of cooling off😂

As soon as I step outside, it actually feels cooler. Something is up with that mall lol

Always seems odd to me, I just stick my new one on top of my old one or peel off the old one. Here I see stickers on all corners of the plate

What do you think of their pizzas?

Hi, looking for mommy and me classes or something similar for me and my 7 month old. Downtown/east Boca preferably but all recommendations are helpful. TY!!

Greetings. I’ll be traveling down there later this week with my family. I have an adult son with autism who is amazing, but very picky and he will eat pizza for dinner when we travel and that’s about it.

We don’t care, but we are looking for sit down restaurants that offer pizza but aren’t Italian restaurants.

We have been to Maggie McFly’s, Bert and Max’s and one other place I can’t remember the name of.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Where do you think has the best happy hour in Boca?

I live 2 miles from the beach and I’d like to start riding my bike or walking there instead of driving, preferably walking.

I don’t like open toed shoes and I don’t need something for in the water or on the sand. But when I leave, my feet will be sandy and I don’t want to put socks back on.

Ultimately:

I’m looking for something I can walk 4 miles in a few days on sidewalks, without socks and sandy feet, that’s okay to get wet and will be relatively easy to clean.

I’ve done a bit of research so far outside of asking here. These might be geared more towards actual ‘on-the-beach’ and water use though

- Xero Shoes Aqua X Sport

- Crocs LiteRide 360 Pacer

- Nike Aqua Turf

Used to go to Roosters which was on the pricier side but now they’re closed, and last time I went to Great Clips they knicked the back of my ear and didn’t tell me. Let’s say reasonable is less than $50 including tip

Craving a good lobster roll this weekend. What are your spots for the best lobster roll within a 40 min drive?

And make fun of people who live in fort lauderdale

Hi. Looking for a short term rental in Boca. Starting at a year rental. Need furnished and laundry in unit. No higher than 2k a month. Thanks !

I am not going back to LA fitness 😂 I looked for a bit and I’m in between Wolf gym or Johnny O’s. I’ve basically crossed out EOS because as an FAU student I know it’s absolute hell packed all day… I’d like if it was 24/7 but doesn’t have to be. Any ideas?

Edit: I dont mind if its west, east, central boca. Even deerfield or parkland.
