Bokeelia is a very small coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Florida. With a population of 1,855 people and two associated neighborhoods, Bokeelia is the 389th largest community in Florida.

And if you like science, one thing you'll find is that Bokeelia has lots of scientists living in town - whether they be life scientists, physical scientists (like astronomers), or social scientists (like geographers!). So, if you're scientific-minded, you might like it here too.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 17.97% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Another notable thing is that Bokeelia is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller town.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Bokeelia has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Bokeelia a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

One of the nice things about Bokeelia is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.

As is often the case in a small town, Bokeelia doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

Bokeelia is an extremely ethnically-diverse town. The people who call Bokeelia home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups.
