shore or swamp - View this location on map  'Nearly across the street from the Gumbo Limbo is the main entrance to Red Reef Park (561-393-7974), one of South Florida's most picture-perfect beaches. Parking on the weekends is a steep $18 a vehicle, but you get a quiet stretch of sand, clear water and the basic amenities (bathrooms, showers and lifeguard supervision). For snorkeling enthusiasts there's a reef just a few feet from the shore line. If you're looking for a different sort of aquatic adventure, consider an airboat ride through the Everglades, leaving from Boca's western edge; Loxahatchee Everglades Tours (15490 Loxahatchee Road, 800-683-5873 or 561-482-6107) offers 45-minute trips for $30 ($15 for children).''
