Introducing Boca Raton
Halfway between Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach is this largely residential stretch of picturesque coast that’s been preserved from major development. The main reason to stop is the outstanding Boca Raton Museum of Art (561-392-2500; www.bocamuseum.org; 501 Plaza Real, Mizner Park; adult/child under 12 $8/free, special exhibitions higher; 10am-5pm Tue, Thu & Fri, to 9pm Wed, noon-5pm Sat & Sun), which has a permanent collection of works by Picasso, Matisse and Warhol, and more than 1200 photographic images. The museum is in Mizner Park (www.miznerpark.org; cnr US 1 & Mizner Blvd), which isn’t really a park so much as a ritzy outdoor mall with stores, restaurants and regular free concerts. While there, stop by the Dubliner (561-620-2540; mains $8-23; 4pm-2am), where you can have your beer and eat it too, thanks to the Guinness fondue appetizer.
