South of Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach is a family-friendly coastal community where you can spend your time building sandcastles and collecting seashells or surfing and swimming. Island Water Sports can get you outfitted for a day of water sports—and even provide private or group surfing, skimboarding, or paddleboard lessons—but the main draw here is the 1,000-foot-long international fishing pier. If you want to see what’s happening below the surface, check out the live underwater camera, which is located 30 feet below the pier, or take a walk underneath the pier itself for Instagram-worthy sunset pics.
