Deerfield Beach has miles of pristine waters to explore, from the Intracoastal Waterway to several lakes, channels, and canals to the vast waters of the Atlantic Ocean. You also have easy access to waterways in popular nearby cities like Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale.
If fishing is in your plans, there are plenty of places to drop anchor and cast a line, both inshore and offshore. Nature lovers will enjoy riding out to Deerfield Island Park, a 53-acre nature refuge only accessible by boat. Here, you’ll be able to spot local wildlife like wading birds and manatees.
If lounging on the sundeck or swimming sounds like a good time, head over to the Lake Boca Sandbar. This popular spot is about a 15-minute boat ride from most marinas in Deerfield and features gorgeous turquoise water, perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
