Holidays in Deerfield Beach

Deerfield Beach, so named because of the large herds of deer that used to roam the surrounding area, is situated on the Atlantic coast in Broward County, Florida and dates back to the late nineteenth century. Traditionally an agricultural community that grew pineapples and tomatoes, the city changed its name in 1939 to attract tourists and holidaymakers to its large stretches of beach. Deerfield Beach holidays are now very popular, offering a huge range of all-inclusive package holidays and last minute summer breaks.

Planning your Deerfield Beach holidays

With its tropical climate, Deerfield Beach holidays (GMT -5) can be very hot and humid during the summer. In the winter, rainfall is less frequent and temperatures fall slightly, making it is one of the more comfortable times to visit the area. The city is well served by the Tri-Rail station and flights from major airports in the area include Palm Beach, Miami International and Fort Lauderdale International airport. The local area also offers a number of transit buses that serve the city and county, taking you to many of the most important tourist attractions and, of course, to the beach itself.
