Deerfield Beach is home to the award-winning "Blue Waves" beach, which offers a more peaceful experience than many other beaches in South Florida. One of the most popular attractions at this beach is the Deerfield Beach International Fishing Pier.
The pier is 976 feet long, and visitors can rent or buy fishing equipment, take fishing lessons, and participate in one of the regular Environmental Workshops held at the pier. The city's quiet water park offers camping facilities, fishing opportunities, a skate park, and a 2,700-foot oval track for "cable skiing", which is a cross between skiing, surfing and waterboarding.
