Except between from Carrabelle to Venice. The beaches range from swampy mangraves to a crushed shell dumping ground that you don't want to step on with bare feet.
From Jacksonville to St. Augustine, the sand is packed like cement. Great for driving (try it once, don't bother again) but terrible for anything else.
Boca Raton's beaches are quite underused, despite the large size of the city and the large populations by the beach. You'd think they would be crowded, but "true" Boca Raton citizens go to tanning booths, and travel to St. Kitts or Tahiti for ocean views (which are probably a bit more spectacular, but if you've got something nice in your backyard, use it!). Mind you, true Boca-ites tend to read high on Commander's Snoot-o-Meter, from past test results.
Their loss, I say.
We have a Venus and a Jupiter, too.
Not to mention:
- Frostproof (it isn't)
- Devil's Garden (no souls around)
- El Portal (doesn't go anywhere)
- Boca Raton (Spanish for "rat's mouth")
- Belle Glade (it isn't nice, despite the name)
- Jerome (now entirely polluted with creosote!)
- Yeehaw Junction (formerly Jackass Junction)
- Oslo, Switzerland, Naples, Rio, and Melbourne (for international flavor, or is it flavour?)
- Springfield, Green Bay, Margate, Manhattan, and Dallas (because we're not very original)
- Lots of places on maps called "___ City" with zero population to speak of (wishful thinking?)
Nice place. 👍
