Located on a barrier island in Boca Raton, Gumbo Limbo Nature Center offers a dynamic look into the coastal and marine environments of South Florida. Join us as we take you on an immersive and interactive tour of the island: hike our trails, swim with the fish, protect a sea turtle nest. Learn about the amazing ecosystems that have developed where the land meets the sea.
