Boca Raton: Red Reef Park - South Side

Red Reef Park - South Side is a public beach access point in Boca Raton, Florida, within Red Reef Park and about 2 miles from the center of town. It's a straightforward spot for a beach day, with parking, restrooms and lifeguards on site, plus accessible access for visitors who need it. A fee is charged. The most comfortable stretch runs from about December through April, when typical highs at the nearby Pompano Beach Airpark weather station sit between the upper 70s and mid-80s, with around seven wet days a month. Summer brings highs near 91°F and roughly twice as many wet days, so winter and spring are the easier seasons to plan around. For time off the sand, Boca Raton Trail is about 6 miles away, and Seacrest Scrub is about 9 miles off.
