Boating season has arrived, and Boca Bayou is buzzing with excitement. Likewise, as a local real estate agent, I’m excited to share key details about our docks and water access. Whether you’re a seasoned boater or new to waterfront living, here’s how to enjoy Boca Bayou’s aquatic amenities.
Direct Ocean Access for Boating Enthusiasts
Boca Bayou offers residents direct ocean access, making it a paradise for boating enthusiasts. Additionally, with docks available you can leave straight from your backyard. This convenience allows for spontaneous trips along the Intracoastal Waterway or out into the open sea.
Private and Community Boat Dockage Options
The community provides both privately owned and association-owned boat docks, accommodating vessels up to 28 feet. Moreover, some condos include a private dock, and the association offers rental options when available. This flexibility ensures that all residents have the opportunity to enjoy Lake Boca Raton’s boating lifestyle—especially during boating season, when time on the water is in high demand.
Navigating the Fixed Bridge
Access to the ocean from Boca Bayou involves passing under a fixed bridge along the Hillsboro Canal. Therefore, boaters with vessels that can safely clear this bridge will find open access to the ocean beyond. Especially during boating season, it’s important to check the bridge’s clearance in advance to ensure your boat can pass through without issue.
Community Events and Social Opportunities
Boca Raton fosters a strong sense of community through various events and social gatherings. For instance, the annual Boating & Beach Bash for People with Disabilities is a major event in the area. This event promotes inclusivity and fun on the water. Participating in such events enhances the boating experience and strengthens community bonds.
