Boca Raton is well-known for fashion and amazing shopping, but you can pack comfortable, casual clothing and blend right in! Most restaurants do not require a formal dress code, so we recommend resort casual for the activity areas and for cocktails and dining, resort chic. You’ll want to pack your swimming & sunning clothing including flip flops, bathing suits and cover-ups, shorts, hats, etc. We do recommend bringing a light sweater for cooler evenings.
