1. Deerfield Beach

Deerfield Beach is one of the more popular beaches on the east coast of Florida. On a regular weekend, you can expect beach umbrellas and skim boarders  everywhere. On the Fourth, this beach gets especially tight. Our advice? Rent a pontoon, achor a safe distance away from the pier (where the fireworks are launched), and enjoy the Deerfield Beach fireworks show.
