Welcome to Boca Raton - Florida

Incorporated in 1925, Boca Raton is a Floridian city that lies on the water and faces the Bahamas and the North Atlantic Ocean.

 

Though its name is Spanish for 'rat's mouth' this is misleading, as the term 'boca' describes an inlet, fitting for a city that includes so much water. Salsa and samba fans will find this a pleasant and affluent city, with strict zoning laws keeping billboards out and buildings low.

Nothing interferes with the wonderful carnival samba waterfront view that Boca Raton Residents take for granted. This beautiful city gives easy access to the beach and Florida salsa Latin band and dancers enthusiasts can bask in the warm samba temperatures that prevail year round.

The average low is 76F while the average high is a tropical 90F, just like the Caribbean. It's the perfect weather for salsa action, so make sure you attend a samba dancers and Latin theme party showgirls or Cuban theme party, watch a samba carnival Latin dance show.

The city is home to several wealthy communities, including many residents with ties to Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and other South American countries.

That means that salsa fans will have lots of chances to listen to Cuban and samba music and Latin music, to hear some live bands and to do some salsa dancing. Samba dancers are performing at some Boca Raton resort beach hotels on special occasions.

While the city was once famous for two amusement parks, long since closed, it later became known as the home of IBM, which lasted into the mid-1990s. These days, Boca Raton has become a samba carnival haven for the rich and famous, with many sports stars purchasing homes there.
