I was driving back from showing property on the beach to the West where I live on the edge of the Everglades . It is only 12.5 half miles but takes about 30 minutes. I was surprised over the good time I made in spite of the rush hour traffic time.
It was probably the day dreaming that I was doing, thinking how lucky I was to live in such a beautiful part of the world. (My Dad was a pilot and we travelled around the world multiple times as well as lived overseas for a while, so I've had enough exposure to have an opinion.)
Thinking...what if I didn't live here and knew what I know about the area, where would I want to go if I came for a visit?
The first place that comes to mind for most people coming to Florida is the beach. My favorite beach in Broward county is Deerfield Beach. Why, because I don't like the sand (it makes a mess out of your car ;-) Deerfield Beach has beautiful grassy areas just above the sand with palm trees and a public restroom at the fire station, PLUS Great places to eat and drink!
My second choice would be Fort Lauderdale beach down by the Yankee Clipper hotel or up by Beach Place that also has some great restaurants.
Next choice would be Pompano Beach. This was the kids favorite place when they were little because it had a playground.
For Palm Beach, I have even more choices, where Jeff has us join him and his family to enjoy his wave runner on lakes and the ocean.
Stay tuned for more favorite places to visit!
