Boca Raton’s 1st beach house, view from the mid-1920s, located just south of Palmetto Park Road. Eventually, it became Hermansen’s Restaurant. Allegedly, a cave in the rocks led into the house, was a secret cache for the rum runners in the Prohibition era.  #Bocaraton

The name "Boca Raton" originates from the Spanish term Boca de Ratones, meaning "Rat's Mouth," as seen on early maps. This intriguing name serves as a reminder of Florida’s rich maritime history and the evolving narratives of its coastal landmarks.
