Exploring Boca Raton: A Walk to Deerfield Beach

Boca Raton, known as "rat's mouth," offers a vibrant blend of culture, upscale living, and beautiful beaches.

### Exploring Boca Raton: A Walk Through the City's Charm and Beach
* 🌞 On February 26, 2021, the temperature in Boca Raton, Florida, reached a **warm 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26 degrees Celsius)** as I embarked on a walking tour from Boca Raton to Deerfield Beach.
* 🗺 Boca Raton, which translates to "**rat's mouth**" in Spanish, is known for being one of the **wealthier cities** in South Florida, and its name is derived from the inlet that resembles a **rat's mouth** rather than actual rats.
* 🚍 I navigated the city streets, starting at the intersection of Palmetto Park Road and 4th Avenue, where I noticed the **busy atmosphere** and the necessity of **paying for public transportation**, which costs **$2 for a bus fare**.
* 🏡 As I walked through residential areas, I observed the distinct characteristics of homes in Boca Raton, including the **absence of basements** due to **flooding risks from hurricanes and thunderstorms**.
* 🌳 The journey led me to the Boca Raton Community Center, where I admired the **large trees** and the **well-kept shuffleboard courts and skatepark nearby**, reflecting the community's **recreational spirit**.
* 🍽 Arriving at Meisner Park, I found a vibrant area filled with various restaurants, shops, and cultural institutions, showcasing the city's **charm and inviting atmosphere**.
* 🏖 Finally, I reached Boca Raton Beach, where the sand was **powdery**, and the water appeared **clear**, marking the end of my exploration before heading towards Deerfield Beach.
* 🚶 This walk highlighted not only the **beauty of Boca Raton** but also the unique blend of **culture, architecture, and community** that defines this coastal city.

hello february 26 2021 80 degrees fahrenheit that's 26 celsius and today i am in boca raton florida the times around 10 50 a.m and the name boca raton in spanish literally translates as the rats mountain boca raton is one of the more wealthier cities of south florida and in this walk i plan to walk from boca raton to deerfield beach i was looking up and doing a little bit of research and i learned that this uh well i should push the button here but i'm at the intersection of palmetto park road and 4th avenue i guess palmetto park road is a dividing line between north west and southwest because that sign there is a splitting too but yeah boca raton the etymology of it can be a little bit confusing because i was reading that the bokeh isn't really referring to a rat's mouth but because of the inlet of the area where the water comes in so it was a mouth of water

I guess this inlet may look like a rat's mouth, which is why it may have been called Boca Raton, but we'll see. I don't know; it's my first time in this area. I guess it's good to cross. Now let's go; let's do it. All right, hope everyone's doing well today. I got my shades on because it's super sunny right now. Larry lives off of Palmetto. Welcome to Boca or Wrights. Matt Salguiro said, You thought you saw me in Green Point. I came home to Boca and I followed you here. What? No way, no way. I'm heading up the South Florida coast now, but yeah, Palmetto Park Road looking like a very busy street here. I was able to get here from my hotel near the Town Center Mall. I took the bus to get here and I had to pay for the bus. It was two dollars for the fare. [Applause] The first county in Florida where they make you pay for the public transportation in Miami-Dade County and also

Broward County. It was free, but here they make you pay. So, uh, I'm curious what the residential areas look like around here. We'll make a left here on Northwest 3rd Court. Seems like a quiet block. I don't want to walk on Palmetto Park Road the entire way. I was looking at this area. Looks like there's a lot of nice restaurants just down the block in an area called Mizner. Sam's saying five dollars all-day pass for the bus in Palm Beach. I was reading about that too, but you have to buy that specific pass in like an area that's far away from me. So, I don't think I'll be needing the five-dollar pass because I'll probably only be taking the bus twice. Once to get here and once to get out or an Uber service. This looks like it has a neatly trimmed lawn. No garage over here. Weren't you like a few palm trees in your backyard, right? This one is a blue and white style. This home here. Oh my goodness, kind of

reminds me of the pueblos, I think, in New Mexico. This person doesn't really even have a lawn; it's all brown. Let's see, saying Florida homes don't have basements. I was remembering the person on the water taxi saying that a lot of them don't have basements because they flood. There's a lot of flooding over here, especially with the hurricanes and the thunderstorms. They just have the first floor. So, will we see any rats in the rat's mouth neighborhood? I kind of found it funny how this area is called the rat's mouth, and then where I'm headed to is called Deerfield Beach. Are there deer in Deerfield Beach? Looks pretty calm here. This is what a residential block in South Florida looks like. I hope this isn't a dead end. No, it doesn't look like it. Sherry Brooker saying it's the inlet that sounded like mouse of rats when the boats came in years ago, and I'm going to head over to that inlet too.

wow, this house is for sale. Zhan Realty. Would you enjoy living in this home? I don't know, Sam. You've never seen this side of Boca before. East Boca is more popular. Yes, there were deers in Deerfield Beach. Then they moved them to an island in Key West. You've been to that island as a child. Yeah, um, actually, I don't think it's called Key West, that island, because when I was on the tour bus, they were mentioning about that nature island. That house is for sale, 345 Northwest Third Quart. Looks cozy in there. When I see this, though, over here, you can tell there's a potential for flooding because the water here is ponding a little bit. There was a little bit of a shower earlier, but probably nothing to be concerning of. So, this is Northwest 4th Street, and then you have multi-story buildings like that one over there. So, this block has a lot of single-floor homes, and then you have the developments behind me. NYC Cherry saying, I hope you bought an

umbrella. I did. I actually used it. Very cozy neighborhood streets. And now we have Crawford Boulevard and Northwest 4th Street. Oh wow, is this a school across the street? I guess it is because I saw back there. I say Iglesia. The Boca Raton offices. No, let's see what is this man. What a tree. [Music] Wait, I think Iglesia is church in Spanish. Yeah, that's right. I remember now. Yeah, what an impressive tree. [Music] So we have the Boca Raton Tim Huxhold Skatepark and shuffleboard courts here. [Music] Man, this tree must be here since the city was founded, at least. Unbelievable. If only the tree could talk, right? It could tell you all the stories of the things that are seen. So these are the shuffleboard courts and the skatepark. Shuffleboard court is empty right now, but it looks very well kept. Here's another view of this tree from the behind. And this is the Boca Raton skate park. Wow, if you like skateboarding, this might

be a good place for you. Look at this. You got a variety of obstacles. You got a table there, a few ramps, some rails over there, a half pipe over there, and then you have a football field over here. I guess this is also like the varieties of different palm trees here. You got this type, and then you got that one across the street. Looks like it's lower mighty bowl with the 299 super sticker. Thank you, appreciate it, mighty bow. You rock. Lots of retirees down there in that area. Yeah, I'm kind of noticing it. Even the people I've been talking to, like Uber drivers and restaurant staff, they told me they retired down here. And you can't believe the amount of New Yorkers down here or people who have connections to other parts of the country or even from Canada. There's a lot of people from Canada, Toronto, Quebec. They come down here for the wintertime, and they retire here. In fact, there was one person I talked to. He was actually mentioning that he

watched my walking videos in New York. Well, he didn't say that. He said he was watching walking videos in New York and Toronto. And I said, Wait, I'm Action Kid. And he's like, Wait, no way. [Music] And I found out he watched my channel, and he also watches Johnny Strides in Toronto with the walking videos there. So, the world is a very small place. Oh, look at this. This is the Boca Raton Community Center. Nice big parking lot. Raj is asking if Miami is looking better than New York. Are you correct? They each have their pros and cons. For me, I like New York because of all the activity there, and it's much easier to get to places with public transportation. Also, the food options are a lot more convenient to get to in New York City. But Miami has its perks too. Well, the community center looks very, very calm. Hours of operation: Monday to Friday, 8 to 9. Let's walk under this so I don't have to be in the sun the entire time.

oh, there's a nice park here. Why not just wander in the park? Also, going back to the comparisons between New York and Miami as well, you can't discount the fact that most of my friends and family are in New York City, so it's a big con to be away from friends and family when considering a place to move to or travel. Oh, there's a baseball field over here, so we're walking towards Palmetto Park Road again, which is the main road through the neighborhood. Oh, wait a second, this is the city hall. I didn't even know the Boca Raton city hall building. Just gonna wait for this car to complete their turn before I continue. This is the city hall north entrance. I'm thinking I'm going to have to walk to the sidewalk in order to see the whole thing. Man, completely different type of buildings on this road here. Palmetto Park Road is now you have this over here, multi-story building, and then on like Northwest Third Court, there were single-floor homes, Transmedia Public Relations guests make

five bucks. Well, when you conquer the internet with 10 million subs, you can buy a vacation home in South Florida. Your family and friends can join you there. Here's the city hall building. Redshirt, a Jacob. That's another story too. People will have their reasons for choosing one place over another. All depends on the individual. Ooh, lizard, lizard, lizard. Jump. Uh, just went into the bushes there. So, rat's mouth city hall. No rats in Boca Raton, but I see lizards. [Applause] Tons of lizards all over the place, man. There's a fat one. Look at that one. It just ran away now. So, um, about two blocks down past the train tracks here, we're going to enter an area called the Mizner Park area where there's like a bunch of restaurants and whatnot. We'll take a look at that. After that, I think I'll uh, head towards the beach because why not, right? This is Boca Raton Boulevard, otherwise known as Northwest 2nd Avenue on this side or Southwest 2nd.

avenue on the other and palmetto park road. Is there a button across to cross Boca Raton Boulevard? Let's push the button. Thank you, guest. Make five bucks. You're bi-coastal, Brooklyn, Midwood, and LA, and I'm seriously considering moving to South Florida for the beauty and the no state taxes. Awesome, man. I know Florida is a destination for many people who want to save money on taxes. There's no state income tax here, but as I found out, they do raise money and taxes in other ways. There's hotel taxes, there's state park entrance fees. You got to pay two bucks for no matter if you're walking in or driving in at the minimum anyway, so a lot of things to consider down here. And there still is an income tax, I mean a state sales tax. [Music] Here's the city plaza. Oh, Alyssa is pronounced pronounced Meisner, not Misner. Okay, just like I mispronounced Broward County for like the first five minutes of me saying it, and then I got corrected to Broward.

so meisner account park. So this is the Dixie Highway up ahead. It's me saying the little mint greenhouse I passed by was 526,000. Two bedrooms, two baths, and 1,748 square feet. Here's 7-11. May not be a bad idea to go into 7-Eleven to get a Gatorade because I don't know what's going to be coming up. So let me just put a be right back screen and I'll get a Gatorade. And this should not be that big. I don't know why I had it adjusted the right way, but it didn't save. [Music] So [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] All right, I'm back. I got my Gatorade. It's a good thing I turned the camera off and recording often put the be right back screen because even with my gimbal off, the employee came around. He's like, Oh sir, are you recording? I was like, No, it's off.

but this, uh, cost 1.99 plus tax. It was 2.13 for the Gatorade. I got the lemon-lime flavor, which is the original. So, there's Northwest First Avenue, Palmetto Park Road, and now we got to cross some train tracks. I guess I'll walk past it. I mean, cars can't make a left or right here. Now we gotta push the button, the cross Dixie Highway. Let's drink some of this Gatorade. Oh, we can cross the street. Good. Go to quench your thirst, the Gatorade, and gave me some electrolytes too. Liz asked me, did I pack my GoPro? Ah, I did. I did pack my GoPro. All right, so this is downtown Boca Raton, and we are here at the Meisner Park, not the Mizner Park as I originally thought it was called. This looks like a parking lot for the One City Center. Not sure if it's a public parking lot. It looks like it's very large though. I don't see any rates.

posted on that garage. All right, so Meisner Park is to the left, Cultural Center is to the left, and Royal Palm Place is to the right according to that sign. One thing I'm noticing in Boca Raton is that there's a lot of main roads here: Palmetto Park Road, Dixie Highway, North Federal Highway. Is the whole area full of highways? My goodness. Now we gotta cross another place. Wait, wait, wait, we're not waiting as we're supposed to, as that seems to be the norm over here. All right, so over here is Meisner Park, I think, unless it's over there. Well, let's walk up here. I can always make a right later. Richard saying Meisner Park is a big mall outside. Good to know that. I think it's to my right here. The three C's. You lived in Boca your whole life and then you moved to Jupiter. This is the Boca Raton Town Hall. Looks like a gorgeous building. Meisner Park. I gotta look at where this place is on the Google Maps before I

stroll further Meisner Park. All right, it's up like two blocks, but I don't want to continue walking over here, the federal highway. This is too busy. Let's go over here through Sanborn Square. Oh wow, this was formerly a bus station. Really cool. Enter S with the five dollar super chat. Thank you, N to S. So I was looking on Google Maps this way over here, like one or two blocks in. There's tons of restaurants here, right in the middle of downtown Boca. And then a few blocks to the north is Mizner Park. Meisner Park. What I keep saying Mizner. I'm just used to it by now. Sanborn Square. And we got this. This was donated by the bank. And here's the view of the town hall in Sanborn Square. I have to take a picture of this. Really, really cool. Oh, we have brickline streets here. Tuki's pizza. And I did see a viewer comment that said this is the best pizza in South Florida. Really, huh? Tuki's pizza. The char is flavor.

kay knees. Thank you for two euro. Appreciate it. You know, this is a very charming city. It's quiet. I kind of like it because right now there's like a lot of streets which are off the main roads and there's places to like eat around here and stuff to see. You look a little yiddish. Come have a little kiddish. I know that many Jewish people also live in Florida. Some nice art here on the corner of this building. I tell them the same thing and it means nothing. Downtown Boca music. So this is the northeast 2nd street I'm walking on now. Oh, this is Meisner Park over here. It has to be. But look what we got over here. Ramen Lab Eatery, UPS Store, Pokey J. All right, we get some Asian food here. Pretty cool. Vero Wine Bar, Italian Kitchen. Oh, this is Meisner Plaza. This is the name of this place over here across from Meisner Park. Slovaki Fresh Greek Food. Ooh, Matt Salguero. The pink paint is

quintessential boca style, very nice vocal skewers, second street bagels and deli, and then you got this massive building behind it. Okay, let's check out Meisner Park because this is looking cool. Oh, we're gonna put this on wide angle. There we go. Of course, a car comes out, coming out of the driveway and ruins my picture, but I'll just move back after a drive past. Alright, I got a great picture here. [Music] You know what, let's go to the crosswalk 'cause, okay, so I will cross this way. Here it is, Meisner Park. Lord and Taylor is over here. We got another pink style. Let's walk the sidewalk on one side of Meisner Park and then come down the other side. I think this will be pretty cool. [Music] Meisner Park Cultural Arts Center. This is very neatly tailored. I like it a lot. 201 Plaza Real, or maybe Real. I don't know which language they're using. [Music] Here's the yard. [Music]

they have house y h as their initials. There's a lot of stuff here. Look, it even goes over to the left a little bit. Tansy z gallery, very picturesque. Legionary, you used to love going to yard house in New York. There's a yard house in New York too. You know what, just because of this area, Meissner Park, and kind of like the quieter feels of the neighborhood, I kind of like this better than Fort Lauderdale. [Music] Fort Lauderdale really only had whoa my goodness, really only had Las Olas Boulevard and the beach there, but this one has a lot more color. This doesn't even look like the United States here. Looks like something from the Caribbean, Cuba, the Bahamas. Look at this. [Music] Now we have a bunch of stores here, eyeglass store, carts here, eyeglasses. Oh my goodness, that's talking big bucks there. Let me put my own music on just so I may not get in trouble. Oh, candy store, hockey, sour patch.

robin jackson boca raton is older than fort lauderdale. everywhere's a good thumbnail here. everything's like so pink. this might be a good thumbnail too. here's sugar boo and company. what is this a [Music]. it's a home good store. chairs. furniture. really nice. even over here. this is cool too. you got a palm tree up here. this is another great thumbnail right here. if you're a photographer man like i used to do before i do youtube like amateur stuff. this is a good place to come. look at that. i think i could turn the music off now. wow. all right. whoever knew right. the rat's mouth city has great things like this wolf gallery. too bad there's so much glare you can't really see too well. uh there we go. arcade machines. you have the donald trump over there driving a stationary car. a porsche dodge challenger. man how far does this meisner park go. miriam mancini. am i wearing long sleeves. yes i am. man there's another good thumbnail here.

It's so like, All right, let's just enter a space number, whatever one, one, one, one, one. Okay, hey, what's up? A hundred years. Wow. Oh, you have to, man. That's, I don't use credit cards. Oh my gosh, what? Oh my goodness, I love you, Brooklyn. You're from New York. Got it, brother. Oh my goodness, all right. Pleasure seeing you, man. Take care with me, but God bless you. All right, say hello to Sharon for me, okay? Sharon, shout out to you. Take it easy, all right? Take it easy. Well, that's Boca Raton real-life super chat right there. He just made my day, my goodness. Chris saying he was in the comments. Yeah, I'm sure he was, obviously, because I'm in Maya's new park, and he came up right up to me. Let me go over there, sit down, and put it away because I don't want to lose that.

man, this whole area is nice. Well, this bench is wet. I'm not sitting on that, but we can sit over here. This one looks dry, so okay, let's relax here and get a sip of Gatorade. Refreshing. Skull Tia Catch 84 with five dollars. Am I going to your hometown of Jupiter? The beach is phenomenal. I have to look because um yeah, Jupiter. I don't think it's that far away from West Palm Beach, but I do plan to go to West Palm Beach as well. Max's Grill, that's cool. This probably this area probably gets a lot more busy on the weekend and at night time, I would think. Let's go back over here and walk around Meissner Park to the other side. Kendra Scott, whoa, lots of jewelry there. [Music] Laurie saying this area is very picturesque everywhere. I know, really, for sure, for sure. Sam loves saying Gatorade is a Florida drink from the University of Florida. That's right, I didn't even think about that. That's right, here we got Planet Blue.

that sounds pretty cool. Planet Blue and every single opportunity you get, this kind of area here. We get stuff like this. I mean, what's even in these places over here? Is this... are there more shops in here? Yeah, it seems like it, right? Look, Plaza Real. Look at this. Oh, we got the parking garage behind this. Wow, I like it. Kapowi Noodle Bar. Well, isn't this something here? Okay. [Music] Some person behind me told me he doesn't want to be on camera. I don't even think I recorded. [Music] What is this? Michael and Madeline Savarick Tower. Here's the Boca Raton Museum of Art. Whoa, an art museum here too. So even if you want cultural institutions, you have them here. That's it here. Whoa, I feel like I entered another place. I don't feel like I'm even in the United States right now. This kind of more looks like Mexico, Mexico City, where I was at. They had a lot of pink. They had a lot of colors. Museum of Art, huh?

let's see if we can see any kind of artwork from the mirror. I mean, the window here. Oh, there's the gift shop. There's a nice little waterfall here. Dakota's saying Wikipedia says that the buildings are heavily Spanish colonial inspired. Yeah, because um, even the name is Spanish. Boca Raton for a rat's mouth. Joseph Nash is on here. You're the man who gave me a tip from his car on the stream. I just want to say, good sir, thank you for restoring my faith in the civility of humanity. You're the man, Joseph. You're very welcome. I'm glad to be showing uh, Boca Raton. It is a really beautiful place. I wanted to come here because even just the name, it really sparked my curiosity. I mean, why would an area be called rat's mouth and it's Spanish? And now I know why. Count the Hornell Amphitheater skulls tiara catch 84. Five bucks Jupiter. The White House is worth going for alone. Also, it's about 15 to 20.

minutes north of West Palm Beach. I may have to visit if that's the case because I'll be going to West Palm Beach as well after my visit here. Yes, Milton, I explained that at the beginning of the live stream, but yeah, it sounds like Rat's Mouth was the name of the inlet. I'm going to be walking past that inlet, the actual Boca Raton. Here we have the Gramercy Hair Salon. I think we're gonna have to play some music. Fifty dollars off or free Kish towel turbine shower cap with service of a keratin or soothing treatment. A table cooking classes, huh? All of a sudden, I'm getting poor internet service, so what I'll do is I'll walk over here. Yeah, for some reason, that side underneath those shops there, I had some bad internet service, so I don't think I'll walk towards that side of the street. I'll just walk in the middle here and I'll showcase the exterior here. We got Tommy Bahama, Blue Mercury. Yeah, POV HFR. This is certainly an

amazing find for sure this Meisner Park area. I don't know when this was put in place, but everything is so perfectly organized. Even like the layout of the streets, the trees are like neatly aligned. You have these things here. Also got Max's Grille, Howie Stern. I gave you the box on Palmetto. That's my ALS. I have a long sleeve seersucker shirt on. I like this better because it helps prevent against sunburn and it dries off my arms a lot quicker than not having a clothing article there to begin with. Wow, that's cool. Max's Grill. He got a seafood place there, Japanese bistro, Lok Bar, Vellagio. Tons of stuff going on here. Milton's saying Meisner opened in 1989, expanding in 1996 with Jacobson Department Store. Let's try walking onto this again. I hope my connection doesn't cut out again. [Music] ECJ Lux Collection. Kind of looks like a clothing store. No, this is the clothing store over here.

but these look like very unique antiques. Who wants a hand grenade or a tiger or an elephant or a rhinoceros with jewelry in it? And is this an engine? Yeah, that's a Ferrari engine. What? That is completely random, but hey, if you want a unique piece of art like that, feel free to buy it. Oh, look at this. There's actual apartments here. Meisner Park Apartments at the Villa Poinciana, if I'm pronouncing that correctly. They're leasing here. [Music] I can tell Meisner Park has a lot of upscale stores. Kanarai, Marcelo's Boutique, Starbucks is open. Hi, Mom. Hi, Mom's in the... Hey, I'm from New York. We are getting married. [Laughter] Starbucks. All right, Starbucks coffee. Lord and Taylor. So, Chris is saying Addison Meisner is responsible for bringing this kind of architecture to South Florida. Nice. All right, so now it is around noon time. The sun's probably going to be beating.

down like at full force now. NYC cherry grew saying I may be the wedding photographer. You know I got confused to be a wedding photographer in Long Beach, New York. I was just recording one of my walking videos and I went on to the beach from the boardwalk and a will you marry me scene right on the beach. And the people who are there thought I was part of the wedding and they say are you the wedding photographer. I'm like no. And then the actual wedding photographer came behind me. Man, there's a huge Lord & Taylor. Oh shoot, look at this. Everything must go 80 to 90 off, going out of business because uh I know the Lord & Taylor flagship store on Fifth Avenue is closed. Is this Lord & Taylor still open? Claudia is saying they closed. Oh no, sign of the times. Yeah, this big store I guess is still vacant but the sign is still here for the Lord & Taylor. [Music] So there's Northeast Meissner Boulevard.

Here's the post office of Meisner Park. Now I have to figure out which way I want to go to get towards the beach. I probably have to get back to Palmetto Park Drive again and head towards A1A. I know many people also call that road the intercoastal around here. All right, let's see. All right, I'm heading in the right direction. I just got to go down this street over here. Yeah, let's go on Palmetto Park Road. Even though it's a busy street, I want to cover it for us a little bit of length just to show you what it's like. [Music] Whoa, free parking, seriously. Ah, there we go. We got the sign here. Sanborn Square, Royal Palm Place, and to the left are the beaches. Matt's saying there's nice homes. If I go straight, I think I want to head to the beach first. Also, a famous hotel here near the golf course that I want to visit. I think it's the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

nice church, by the way. This might have been the one doing the bells earlier. You know, let's cross now because I have the opportunity to. The streets seem kind of quiet over here. It's one thing I learned about Florida: when you have the opportunity to cross the street and it's safe to do so, do it. Because you may be waiting a while for the light to change, or if you do have the light, you may get run over by some crazy Floridian driver, like what happened to me twice yesterday going up to Lauderdale by the Sea near the visitors center. What a way to visit, uh, greet people, right? You have the Lauderdale by the Sea visitor center, you try to cross the street, there's a yield sign, the cars don't yield to you, then you cross over again and they almost get left turned into a nice Bank of America building. So this way is going towards the beach. There's a lot of neat little spots here. Look at this Thai ramen sushi over here. There's also a kickboxing class.

or a school Boca Raton travel and cruises [Music] [Music] Bonjour Vietnam [Music] tons of Asian food around here I tell you Japanese Thai you got that one over there Vietnamese Luff's fish market fresh seafood coming soon so for the locals here there's a fish market here coming soon well isn't this one of the most elegant Chase Bank branches I've seen this bank branch actually looks very inviting [Music] here's Emibi.ingest.indulge so you got three words for this restaurant there here's Palmero Park shops oh they got all the parkings behind this place so you don't even need to find parking you go well you do need to find parking but you go back here they have their own parking lot for all those stores that I just passed that's good to know by the way the uh public transit authority in Palm Beach County which includes Boca Raton is a Palm Tran and it's uh two bucks for the bus here

There's also a day pass where you can take unlimited trips for five dollars, but I was looking at where to buy those day passes, and they seem to be rather inconvenient. So instead, I just pay cash on board the bus. Ian Garner, Miami-Dade County. The buses and metro rail and metro mover and the trolleys are free in Broward County. The buses are free, but in Palm Beach County, the buses cost money. The tri-rail you have to pay for right now. There's a Bokeh nursing services Richard Jacob. I should really rent a car because I'll miss so much without it. You'll be surprised. I've been getting around quite well without a car so far. Tay asking if I even have a driver's license. I do. I have the option to rent a car if I need to, but for right now, I don't really see the need to where I'm going. This building looks very modern. Monaco hair, skin, and nails. Sarah Banas. Weren't you driving a car the other day with James and Carla?

I wasn't driving the car; I was a passenger. Artistic elements, decor, and design. Khloe Elder, I'm getting closer and closer to your hometown with these live streams. I see a bridge up ahead. [Music] This flower looks like it's in bloom right now, and then on the other hand, this one looks shriveled up. Thank you, Bon Bon, with the five-dollar super chat. Appreciate it. You rock, man. Thanks. Let me finish the rest of this Gatorade. It's a good thing I went to that 7-Eleven too because I don't really see too many more convenience stores around here. Actually, I save a little bit for later. Why finish it all now, you know? [Music] There's LA, no well, Maison French restaurant. My French is horrible, by the way. [Music] Laurie's saying you thinking walking and having access to public transit is good, so have more versatility. I also don't have to find a place to park. Yeah, very true. Cameron Ennis, 4.99. Hi from West Palm Beach. Hey.

hey, what's up? My friend's watching you right now. Really? Whoa, that's cool, man. He says hi. All right, how you going? Awesome, man. Yeah, it's nice. [Music] My goodness, so there's another person who is watching me. They FaceTime that person to come to me and say that they're watching me. Strange, but um, not to interrupt the uh, person I was dressing before. Cameron Ennis, yo. Action kid, hi from West Palm Beach. If you happen to make it up here, be sure to check out Clematis Street. Oh, it's scroll down, there's a lot going on here. Worth Avenue, Rosemary Square, stay safe. Cheers and tennis tips with 4.99. Thank you, both of you. Appreciate it. Um, let's cross here to cross Fifth Avenue. No, this is not. Sounds like it's even broken. Oh, doesn't matter anyway. I got a walk signal, but that doesn't matter either because as long as there's a car not making a right turn trying to kill me, I'm good. Don't trust the walk signal. You're out.

on your own if you want to cross the street. But yeah, that's Fifth Avenue back there, not the same Fifth Avenue of New York City. Seems like every single city I'm coming up to in South Florida, there's people who like find me. It's incredible. Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale by the Sea, now Boca Raton. [Music] Let's see if we could find some nice-looking boats over here. [Music] Matt says this bridge goes over the Intracoastal. Okay, so I see that this bridge is hostile to bike riders because they want you to walk across the span. Cheryl Marshall, traffic's crazy sometimes. They cross in the middle of the block to avoid the intersection. Seems as if there's always a car turning. It does seem that way sometimes. It's annoying for sure. And uh, Matt's saying they're turning this parking lot into a brand new park. Oh, you know what? I don't think it's a bad idea because seems like there's a lot of parking.

availability in that area as well. All those shops, they have their own parking lots. And why not? I'm all for more public parks. This is the Lucas Douglas Memorial Bridge, also a drawbridge. Hey, take a look at the name of that boat [Music]. Wouldn't you like to be on the real estate, R-E-E-L estate? That cyclist is waving it out, riding the bike across this bridge [Music]. That's Lake Boca to my right [Music]. Bumpers asking if I've ever thought of walking home to New York City. I've thought about it, but I wouldn't do it. It would take too much time [Music]. So, we're on the other side of the waterway now. We got here barber shop, a beauty store, and personal training [Music]. Oh, I see the beach in front of me. Okay, okay, let's check out the quality of the beach at Boca Raton. Here we have the Royal Palm properties to my left [Music]. Expert Rouse Frederick's saying this strange audio

like very short pulsing. Let me try to adjust this mic. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the connection. Who knows? Rose saying you took a Greyhound bus to Atlanta and it took three days. It's better to fly. Yeah, flying is the most convenient way to do it. Premier real estate properties, Mark Michaels, a CPA across the street. [Music] Hey, another 7-Eleven. If I need it, I can go in and get another Gatorade. [Music] I'm getting splashed by sprinkler water right now. Feels refreshing, to be honest. I've actually known people who have driven to Florida [Music] non-stop, and they would not recommend doing it. Breakfast and lunch at the Boca Beach House. Really cool. John PS30 with 30 bucks to get another Gatorade. I could if I want to, but um, I think I'm all right with one Gatorade. Black Pearl Boba Tea. Oh, we got bubble tea in Florida. East Side Pizzeria.

all right, there's nobody around me to make right, left, or right turn, so I am good. It's across the street. Here's Meridian, the one north Ocean Boulevard property that is a BMW. [Music] Uh, I drink the rest of that Gatorade because, um, when it heats up, it's not going to taste good anymore. Hot Gatorade is horrible. All right, so here we are, Ocean Boulevard, State Route [Music] A1A. Let's see, are we gonna get a walk signal anytime soon? Yep, we do. As long as no one's making a left, I mean our right, we're good, or left from here. Perfect. Here it is, the South Beach Pavilion. There is plenty of parking at this beach if you want to come here. All right, only at the beach. Let's see how the Boca Raton beach is. Whoa, ain't this soothing. Frederick Christensen with DKK 17. Thank you so much, Frederick. Oh [Music] so that is a panorama of Boca Raton.

beach POV saying my view matches the emoji now. Nice harden our dust. They're doing some construction here now. Uh, let's look at the sand quality of this beach. Let's see how this compares. Is there a lot of shells or, I mean, are there a lot of shells or debris? Let's take a look. Hmm, well, it's definitely very powdery. I don't really see any kind of shells here. I'm not gonna walk on this beach the entire time like I did, uh, Fort Lauderdale to Lauderdale by the Sea, but it's a nice beach. I mean, you got like cigarette butts over there, but as far as like rocks and shells and stuff, I don't really see too many. Matt says this is different than the sand you'll find in Miami Beach. They imported the sand from the Bahamas there. Oh, that's why. I mean, the color of the sand over here looks a little bit darker than what I've experienced in Miami, but this is a Boca Raton beach.

the actual beach. Let's look at the water quality. Huh, everyone wants to know about the water. Is it nice? Is it clear? Whatever looks pretty good. It's clear from what I can tell. All right, let's make our way back to the streets of Boca Raton now, and then we'll go towards Deerfield Beach. So, this is the area under construction. It's a cute little dog. One thing I noticed though about this beach. Where's the shower? If you need to rinse off the sand or anything, there's no shower here unless it's in a different part of the beach. Oh, there is. Okay, thank you. Oh, there it is. Okay, thank you. Yeah, it didn't make sense for this place not to have a shower, but at least we know now. Helpful resident of the area letting me know about it, but you have to walk far to get to it. So, here's the shower. Here is this another beach access area. Oh, it is. Look, this is the accessible ramp. Okay, this makes sense then. The accessible ramp and the showers next.

to this part that's very helpful. Be right back, folks. Do not go away. [Music] So [Music] [Music] [Music] you
