Deerfield Beach: Catch the Last Sunset by the Shore
Start your New Year's Eve with an easy beach walk and a sunset over the water. On December 31, the sun sets at 5:39 p.m., leaving about 10 hours and 31 minutes of daylight. Winter days nearby average a high of 77.4°F and a low of 61.1°F, but those climate normals aren't a forecast, so bring a light layer and check the weather.
The city's one-mile oceanfront has lifeguards during winter, generally 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Surfing is allowed north of the pier and south of tower 7. Dogs and alcoholic drinks aren't allowed on the beach. Parking is metered and pay-by-plate, with holiday enforcement, so check the signs and city notices before you leave your car.
