Boca Raton sits on the southeastern coast of Florida, just north of Miami. It has two miles of beaches on its eastern border and is considered to have a tropical rainforest climate. It is hot and humid all year round, with daily thunderstorms in the height of summer and no frost in winter. The amount of humidity and higher-than-average rain makes the city very lush, green, and full of wildlife. Residents can expect over 230 days of sun.

Residents looking for outdoor recreation have several options in Boca Raton. Two miles of beaches, including Red Reef Park and South Inlet Park, offer opportunities for boating and sunbathing. Red Reef Park also has an environmental education center.

Outside of the natural landscape, Boca Raton has plenty of access to shopping and art. Mizner Park in the downtown area is a large lifestyle center with stores and fashion boutiques, restaurants, a movie theater, and the Boca Raton Museum of Art. The city also hosts the annual 10-day Festival of the Arts, celebrating musical performances, award-winning authors and speakers, and art exhibitions.
