    What a fantastic Beach! They have a nice path to stroll or bike, a little fitness area with pull-up bars you can lache between, parallel bars and all with a beautiful ocean view! Love this beach and visit it every time I'm in southern Florida!

    I love this beach. An hour north of Miami you get away from a lot of the traffic and crowds. I've never had a problem finding parking (yes...you have to pay for parking) or has an issue finding a spot to set up on the beach. The crowd here is much more family friendly and a seniors' crowd, but there is always a younger crowd to keep things more "energetic". Look it up and enjoy the wonderful restaurants in the area after a nice day at Deerfield Beach.

    I love Deerfield Beach. Beautiful, clean, ocean view restaurants, boardwalk, kids friendly, and plenty of parking.

    Move here 17 years ago and have never regretted it. The beach is a clean family beach with plenty of Surfside eating and shopping. While I live west of I-95 I will still claim my rightful place in Broward County as a Deerfield Beach Resident.. ( Long time locals will disagree, but it's mostly in jest...I hope..lol ) The services here are outstanding with garbage pick up twice a week. They even haul away large bulk items for free. The libraries are outstanding with plenty of programs for both young and old and City Hall, for the most part, is easy to navigate. Home prices have risen a bit in those 17 years, but there are plenty of other affordable options if you really want to live here.

    Clean beach w/close proximity to paid prkg. There is a pier and lots of benches to sit and watch the sunset or moonrise. Be cautious though as the waves can be rough as well as a riptide present after a storm or when the tide is coming in. One of the nicer beaches in the area!

    So this review is for both the beach the pier. Let me get it out of the way and say both are amazing. I recently discovered this area and honestly, I can't wait to come back. The pier is $1 to enter and is much like the one at Lauderdale by the Sea, but fifty cents cheaper for those penny pinchers. It's fun to sight-see and watch the guys on the pier fish and take in the beautiful views of the ocean while the wind smacks against you. I love walking to the end of the pier and looking out and seeing nothing but water. Such a peaceful experience. It's also fun to watch the beach-goers enjoy their day of what is presumably their vacation. Plenty of parking in the area for both the beach and the pier. It'll run you about $2 an hour which is kind of a steal. The beach is clean and wasn't too crowded. It was chilly, but chilly to me is warm for someone living in Boston or Philly so it won't keep them out of the water. It's a short walk to some restaurants and hotels so it's an ideal place for vacationers but also great for locals too. I would totally come here on the regular to hang out and actually I plan on it. Dont' feel like being on the sand? They've got benches to sit on and a trail too! To me this is the perfect beach spot to go to if you want to get away from all the hustle and bustle of Fort Lauderdale and Miami beach. It's truly peaceful here.

    My favorite beach here in South Florida, the water is super pretty and clean, a lot of brazilian, which I love, amazing restaurants near by, good parking spots, super great!

    My photography group set up an outing here this morning to shoot the sun rising over the beach. At sunrise there is plenty of parking next to the Embassy Suites Hotel as well as along the beach. The parking is metered and you need to pay from 6 A.M. on so know your license plate to enter it in the meter and bring change, credit, or debit meter to feed it. It cost $5 for the two hours I was here. As the day goes on there is a lot less parking so the early bird gets the spot. The beach itself has a lot of interesting features to take pictures of. You have the rocks along the sand, the pier to the left and way off to the right is the Hillsboro Inlet Light. I didn't see any public restrooms where we were, the nearest seemed to be north of the pier and were still locked in the early morning. There are a lot of places to eat in this area. We ended up having a lovely breakfast at the Deerfield Beach Cafe. I can't remember the last time I saw a sunrise but watching the sun come up over Deerfield Beach was a beautiful way to start the day.

    What can I say about this place other than it's peaceful, and the tranquility experience there is fantastic? I'm not calling arrive stress; I left stress-free and slept like a baby afterward. I walked on the pier with my friend, and we sat, and we talked for a little while. Not only was my company charming, but the pier was also amazing

    Russell C.

    A nice beach area. The sand is nice. Parking is hard to come by. The people that rent the lounge chairs and umbrellas are very rude. We set our blanket up in front of some chairs, not real close. The guy came by and asked if we wanted to rent them, I said no thank you. He asked us to move our stuff because it was blocking his chairs view. I asked if it was a public beach and he got mad and moved his chairs right in front of us and kicked sand on our stuff. Disabled folks get 4 hours of free parking.

    The pier from the south side

    When I first noted this Yelp entry I was immediately set to wondering why just the beach "South of the Pier," so I had to explore, and yes, there is a distinct difference. North of the pier the restaurants and buildings actually abut the beach whereas south of the pier, there is a roadway in between the commercial buildings and the beach, and the beach has an ornate wave like sidewalk with benches and trees. Deerfield Beach is to me one of the best beaches of Florida, a 5 Star all the way, but if I were going to spend a day on the beach or go for a leisurely walk, I'd hit it south of the pier.

    This beach is fantastic I grew up here and they have just built it up so nicely, so many little spots for food and drink and the beach is always lovely

    Over the years I have come to Deerfield Beach to enjoy beautiful days in the sun and great body surfing near the pier. Years ago I would walk across the street for great "beachy" dining at The Wales Rib which still is a great South Florida landmark. Deerfield Beach has also been a great destination for biking from Ft. Lauderdale or Boca and has a great grassy area right before you hit the sand to relax on in the shade. A lot has changed at the beach area of Deerfield. The fishing pier area has all been redone, two restaurants , JB's and Oceans 234 were opened many years ago just north of he pier along the walkway from the beach, with great dining and JB's on the beach has a great outdoor bar area, great for socializing and meeting people. At the beginning of the pier they built a casual place to get food and drink called Deerfield Beach Café where you can order and sit outside on the walkway at the beginning of the pier. All 3 venues have that beautiful ocean front dining and you can walk in right off the beach, pier or walkway and return to your beach activities when you are done. A walk down the pier is really beautiful and overlooks the active beach goers surfing, wind surfing or paddle boarding and if you want to fish off the pier , you can pay $4.00 to fish off the pier and if you need to rent fishing rods, they will charge $15.00 with a $25.00 refundable deposit (just in case you like the rod you rented so much that, well, forget about it). If all you want to do is take a walk down to the end of the pier, they only charge you $1.00 to get on the pier. All this and all overlooks a beautiful sandy beach with 8 volleyball areas which is great for beach volleyball to join in and play with whoever is there. On the South end of the pier as you walk along the beautiful walkway which has new beautiful bricks laid down for 2 miles south of the pier, there are benches along the grassy area next to the brick walkway. Great for jogging or a casual walk from the new pier going south along the condos across the street. The old Howard Johnsons Hotel was replaced with a brand new Wyndham Resort with another beautiful beach front bar across the street from the boardwalk and the beach. Along the beach boardwalk there is pay by plate parking meters which gives you convenient parking if you can get a space along the beach. Try to get down there early. There are also metered lots in front of the pier. This is a beach in which you can spend a whole day. Great jogging, walks along a beautiful brick laid boardwalk, a shady grassy area along the sand going down to the beach , a fishing pier, volleyball and great restaurants and bars that overlook all of it. If you have not spent a day there, I recommend you will not be disappointed.

    Is the beach open all night?

    I believe the beach is open to either 11 pm or midnight, as that is when the City operated pay parking ends. I would not recommend being on the beach after those hours!

    Hillsboro Beach is a tiny Florida coastal town set on a peninsula between the Intracoastal and the…read moreAtlantic Ocean. Interestingly it has a connection to English nobility. The town was named after the Earl of Hillsborough, who was given land in Florida from the King of England after the First Treaty of Paris was signed where England gave up Cuba and the Philippines to Spain in exchange for receiving Florida. Hillsboro also has a rich history with the Barefoot Mailmen. The Barefoot Mailmen were eleven US postal workers who delivered the mail in South Florida from 1885 to 1893 by walking barefoot on the beach from Palm Beach to Miami. Before the mailman started the route, a letter from Lake Worth to Miami could take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months to arrive and would be routed through Cuba. The annual salary of a Barefoot Mailman was $600 a year. The trip started on Monday and took three days to get to Miami, Then they would turn around and come back for a round trip of 136 miles. Eighty miles were walking and fifty six miles were by boat. The three day trek down the coast was not without it's danger. You can find a Barefoot Mailman statue in front of the Hillsboro town hall dedicated to James "Ed" Hamilton who mysteriously vanished in 1897 while crossing the Hillsboro Inlet. The mystery of what happened to Hamilton is fascinating. Was he eaten by an alligator, killed by native people, or did he drown? No one will ever know. Although Hillsboro Beach is small in size at only a little over three miles and 900 miles at its widest point, it has a lot of charm. The only road through town is A1A and here it is nicknamed Millionaire's Mile for the mansions that line it. The most prominent feature of the town is the 1907 Hillsboro Lighthouse which you can tour monthly with the Lighthouse Preservation Society. The beaches in town are all private. You can go to North Ocean Beach Park in Pompano Beach to the south or Deerfield Beach Park to the north. Hillsboro Inlet Park is a nice place to picnic and get a great view of the lighthouse. I always enjoy driving through this stretch of A1A when heading up the coast.

Similar to a car you need to be 16 to drive one so my 11 year old daughter was on the back of mine and my 6 and 9 year old sons joined my husband. We met Dominic at the Pioneer Park- boat ramps in Deerfield Beach. Please note that this location is different than the address on the Yelp review since we were a bit confused ourselves. We started off slow getting used to the jet skis and also admiring the beautiful homes on the intercoastal. Then for about 30-45 minutes we got to go as fast as we could zipping over massive waves and holding on for dear life. I thought we were speed demons, but my thrill seeking daughter kept yelling at me that I wasn't going fast enough. My 9 year old son did fall off the back of my husband's jet ski, but he claimed that was the most fun part of the excursion. .And Dominic was nearby the entire time to help out in these situations and more, but overall we felt very safe. 1.5 hours was perfect and everyone had a great time. They declared it their favorite day in South Florida and made us promise we'll rent jet skis again on a future trip. Done!

People walking up on the beach asking the price were told $150, so the $30 reservation was pretty meaningless and seemed to be just an extra charge.

The city of Pompano stages events here like Music Under the Stars and Movies on the Lawn. With beautiful views and plenty of room to relax and hang out, this is a popular gathering place for the beach crowd. I really like what Pompano has been doing to improve the beach area. There is a new parking garage so there is always a spot to park, great new restaurants, outdoor exercise equipment, and a fun playground for the kids. The Great Lawn fits in perfectly with the improved beach area. I can't wait for the last piece to be completed, the new Pompano Beach Pier. I am eagerly awaiting it's opening. I used to come to this beach because it was close to where I live. Now I come because of the great amenities. Well done Pompano.
