Deerfield Beach South Of The Pier

This beach is awesome. Me and my fiancé come here every Sunday on our day off. You can go snorkeling and check out the beautiful reefs close by. Or if your like me you can crack open a beer and people watch. We always bring our own food or you can take a short walk and grab some food by the pier. The lifeguard always seems attentive and ready to prevent any issues. Flags are always put up accordingly as well as water temp and things of that nature.
Check out this beach if you haven’t been here. Also, it is nowhere near as crowded as by the pier or Boca beach up the street.

Amazing place to relax, exercise, or just have a nice quite meal overlooking the ocea.

Wonderful aquatic center. As a young adult I found this very informational as Mike, a volunteer, gave me not only interesting stories, but taught me quite a lot in a short time. The volunteers are very happy here and I can see why. These fish are in GREAT tanks that are very healthy. As a salt water tank owner and avid snorkel this was just a very cool experience to see some beautiful fish.
It took us 25 mins to go through everything. Nature trail is currently closed to renovation. $ 5 donation per person.
Red reef park across the street so make a day for the family and go snorkel after! Then learn about the fish after

I keep coming back to Deerfield beach 5^th year in a row. I’ve enjoyed numerous sunsets; walks and jogs in the mornings. Also great place for surfing.

As a Deerfield Beach resident, I am proud of this beach. People from all over the world visit this beach. It is always well-​maintained and the people that visit this beach are always great. There is a broad walk that is 1 mile and I enjoy walking each day my 2 mile walk. Whether it’s «season» and the beach is packed or summertime and quiet, I love my Deerfield Beach.

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.

When I last visited South Florida in January, I had the pleasure of visiting Deerfield Beach many times! Lucky for me, the beach was located right in back of my hotel, which was the Embassy Suites in Deerfield Beach and the only thing o had to do to get to the beach was cross an access road. The portion of the beach where my hotel was located was narrower but less crowded than further north by the Deerfield Beach International Fishing Pier, as that is near jetties where the beach ends. However, wherever I was on the beach, I found it to be very clean, with little to no litter and the sand was smooth. By comparison, I find the beaches on Long Island and in the New York City area to be much dirtier, with more litter. In addition, I found the ocean, which I went into many times, to be refreshing and clear, even enabling me to see various species of marine life. In addition to the excellent beach, I found the amenities to be plentiful, as there were picnic huts in between the beach and beachfront promenade, outdoor showers, clean and well-​maintained restrooms, and being a public beach, there were also lifeguards who made sure that no one was in trouble. After visiting Deerfield Beach, I can safely say that it joins the ranks of my favorite Floridian beaches and is definitely my top reason for visiting Florida!

You should definitely check out this pier! To the south of the pier is typically older folk and to the north where the volley ball courts are, are the younger ppl. they have a great lil conglomerate of restaurants and ice cream shops etc. A great place to spend the day!

I stayed in Deerfield Beach for 3 nights. I was lucky enough to have a 5 minute walk from Comfort Suites. Every single day and night I would take a walk to the beach, and spend some time there. It was absolutely perfect. The beach was so clean. You can tell that they kept great care of it. I loved how the palm trees lined the beach. Loved how it was just the right amount of people there. At times there were of course more than other times, but still there was so much beach for everyone. The sidewalks next to the beach were nice, and you could always see people being active outdoors jogging, walking and riding their bikes.
This beach is not dog friendly, and dogs are not allowed on the side walk next to the beach. They can walk on the side walk across from the beach. The beach side walk leads you to the pier, and the perfect small little Deerfield beach downtown. There is a nice bathroom near the fire station, as well as on the board walk near the restaurants that have the restaurant view.
By far, my favorite nice relaxing beach on my mini vacation. Definitely love it, and will be back.

It’s Supermoon Sunday. I love Deerfield Beach. I love the pier and the sidewalk.
The pier is only $ 1.00 for sightseers and $ 4.00 if you want to go fishing. They even have rod rentals available.
There are many restaurants within walking distance. I like the Patio Bar & Grill at the Wyndham Resort, Burger Craze, Whale’s Rib, JB’s on the Beach, Burger Fi, Flanigans, and the Bru’s room and of course Kilwins. I love their coconut ice cream.
If you go further south by the Embassy Suites, the beach is quiet and a little more secluded at Deerfield Beachfront Park. It’s away from the touristy hustle and bustle of A1A by the pier. There are huge rocks and a nice boardwalk area with picnic tables. Great for family day at the beach. It’s my favorite spot to chill out.
They have metered parking right on Ocean Way for about 2.50 an hour. You definitely need coins! If you don’t want to hassle with coins, the Deerfield Beach Place garage behind the Bru’s room is convenient.
I live in Boca Raton and I go to Deerfield Beach often. It’s my favorite beach in South Florida. It’s relaxing and easy access to all the dining establishments. There is such a laid back vibe and it may feel like a mini staycation. You’ll love it! Just check it out!

I’m a native Floridian, but I’ve never liked the beach. Shocking, right? Salt water, seaweed, wet sand sticking to you, jellyfish, sea lice… no thank you. A few years ago, my friend invited me to the beach, and I begrudgingly went, only because we hadn’t hung out in a while. She brought along beach chairs and umbrellas, and forever changed my opinion of the beach. You mean I don’t have to roast in the sun and sweat all day?! I can sit under an umbrella and relax, and just take in the ocean breeze? No, none of that had ever occurred to me before. This was a life-​changing moment for me.
I still don’t go in the water (for the afore-​mentioned reasons), but now I do enjoy going to the beach, whether I’m with someone or not. It’s relaxing, and you can’t beat the view. This beach in particular is my personal favorite (Hollywood comes in second place). I almost hesitate to write this review because I don’t want too many people catching on to how great this place is. The parking is never too bad, although the same cannot be said if you go to the popular part of the beach north of the pier. South of the pier, behind Embassy Suites, you’ll find Deerfield Beachfront Park, where metered parking is everywhere ($ 1.50 per hour, only takes coins), and there’s a beautiful, small boardwalk as well. The large rocks/​boulders on the beach give this place a unique look, and it’s gorgeous. There aren’t a bunch of raucous, drunk people here either… it’s mainly smaller groups of people, families and some of the older crowd. If you’re looking for a nice, relaxing day at the beach, this is the place to go :)

Best 5-​foot swells down here.
The lineup of surfers can range from 7 — 10 on any given day.
Chill…no fights brah.

This is a great place to hang out at the beach if you want a little quiet and privacy. Plenty of parking, covered area with pick-​nick table, board walk, bathrooms, water fountain & beach. What more could you ask for? It is perfect!
