Boca Raton (Florida) - Wink Travel Guide

Boca Raton is a city on the east coast of Florida about halfway between West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale.

Boca, as it's known by locals, started growing in earnest in the 1920s, with the help of fanciful nouveau-riche architect Addison Mizner, who also helped design Palm Beach, 30 some miles north. Much of downtown was (and is being) built in "Addison Mizner-style" architecture, using distinctive bright orange and more subdued pinks in its Old Spanish theme with a touch of Venice.

Moreover, visitors can appreciate the nightlife and great beaches any time of year as the city consistently enjoys comfortable weather.
