Hillsboro Beach
Hillsboro Beach is a tiny, tucked-away town spanning just three miles on a narrow peninsula between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway in Broward County — you anchor off here and get one of South Florida's most low-key stretches of coastline largely to yourself. The town's 2,000 residents keep it quiet and residential, making it a sharp contrast to the busy beaches nearby, and the Hillsboro Inlet just to the north is a landmark worth knowing, marking the boundary between Broward and Palm Beach counties.
