Perfectly nestled between the Boca Raton and Hillsboro inlets, just half an hour north of Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach is the ideal day-trip location for the whole family. The beach has been awarded Blue Wave status for its crystal clear waters, beach facilities and eco-friendliness, but Deerfield Beach is more than just a brilliant beach destination. You can spend the day at Quiet Waters Park, one of just a handful of Florida venues where you can try cable skiing, or make your way to Sullivan Park where there is a huge splash-pad for children to enjoy. Fishing is rumored to be excellent from the International Fishing Pier and there are loads of excellent seafood restaurants to discover.
