Jap Rock is a beach dive at the north end of Boca Raton's Spanish River Beach. The rocks are easy to spot breaking through the surface, forming a little "bay". This site is a nice spot for snorkelers because of its shallow depth and large variety of tropical fish. Plenty of soft corals and sponges are found here, along with the occasional lobster or two.

The current is often quite strong which is great for bringing in abundant marine life, but rip currents can make this a dangerous dive site. Make sure to check weather conditions before visiting this area. If it is a calm day, this is a great shallow beach dive, but poor weather makes this site hazardous.
