Surrounded by beautiful palm trees, J.McLaughlin has proudly set its Boca Raton home on 426 Plaza Real in Mizner's premier shopping center. Complete your breezy chic outfit with a sunhat for a relaxing walk — we'll show you all there is to do in this local guide to Mizner Park. 

You can't talk about Mizner Park without mentioning its lively shopping scene. For the discerning customer, there are renowned jewelers, boutiques, and national retailers to peruse in the picturesque, open-air plaza. Browse everything from home goods to chic apparel in this upscale retail property with over 40 shops — including, of course, J.McLaughlin!

Take your shopping breaks in the large grassy areas outside, where you'll find benches and other amenities for unwinding. Even if you don't end up buying anything, Mizner is a perfectly lovely spot to spend an afternoon. You won't regret taking in lush views of its gazebos, fountains, and foliage. Enjoy your break with delicious food around the plaza. For a quick sugar fix, pick up a box of colorful sweets from Le Macaron or indulge in ice cream from Sloan's. Craving an actual meal? Max's Grille is one of Mizner Park's finest original restaurants, offering classic American fare that’s grilled over mesquite and served with light sauces. You can also indulge in garden-fresh Italian food from Tanzy. With dishes such as pan-roasted Atlantic salmon and braised Angus beef short ribs, you won't be able to resist. 

Don't forget to observe the culturally rich art scene within Mizner as well. Peruse world-class artwork at the renowned Boca Raton Museum of Art. The collection there encompasses 19th to 21st-century art with pieces from names such as Marc Chagall and Andy Warhol. 

After looking through all that Mizner Park has to offer, you'll find plenty to do around the rest of Boca Raton as well. Squeeze in some tee time at Boca Raton's beautiful golf courses, such as Southwinds Golf Course or Red Reef Family Golf Course. Or, take in the beautiful view at Boca Raton's beach parks, such as Red Reef Park, a 67-acre oceanfront area where you'll find people swimming, snorkeling, and surf fishing. There, find a nature center and picnic area for all of the family to enjoy. By the shore, you’ll also be able to collect shark teeth or take a look at the colorful parrotfish.
