DEERFIELD BEACH, FLORIDA Deerfield Beach is a community of just over 60,000 residents that lies along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline, just 25 miles north of Fort Lauderdale. As part of Broward County, Deerfield Beach began as a pineapple farming community in the early 1900s, and remained so until the late 1940s. As the popularity of the Florida Atlantic Coast grew, so did the city of Deerfield Beach, and today it is a thriving coastal town. In the year 2000, Deerfield Beach received the Blue Wave Award for one of the most pristine beaches in the state of Florida. Deerfield Beach has a picturesque 920-foot fishing pier that is open to the public 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. It also has some of the best parks in South Florida including Pioneer Park, Constitution Park, Westside Park and Mayo Howard Park. All are beautifully maintained and have boat ramps, tennis courts, walking trails and playgrounds for children. The city of Deerfield Beach holds weekly dances on the beach with live entertainment in the summer.

More than fifty golf courses dot the area, and all types of fishing is available, including deep-sea, drift boat and fishing off the pier.
