The entranceway of Camino Gardens once served as a pump shack for the Africa, USA theme park. It now greets all whom pass through the community from the east entrance.
The city of Boca Raton awarded CG the "Best Entrance Award" in 2001.

Our famous red bridge links the main land of the sub-division to the island that, when Africa U.S.A. existed, was "considered the finest privately owned tropical garden in the country." The "island" was actually a park with asphalt footpaths around the parimeter and a smaller island in the middle. Although the bridge to the inner island was dismantled years ago, the island's paved walking path still offers residents a forest retreat in the middle of the city limits.
Nearly every other block throughout Camino Gardens enjoys waterways with ocean access. Most canals require a pass through one of the lower fixed bridges seen throughout our community with the exception of homes on the largest waterway (El Rio) of Cypress Blvd. The El Rio offers significantly higher bridges under which to pass allowing for somewhat larger boats. Despite the fixed bridges, however, our owners enjoy access to the city's waterways with modest sized boats.
Feel free to tour the community from its road or waterways, but remember to keep the speed down on both!
