If you’re headed to Hillsboro Beach, you won't just want to take State Road A1A — you kind of have to. The scenic coastal highway is the sole main public road on this Deerfield Beach island town, carving a north-south path to the Hillsboro Inlet. Along the way, stunning homes and luxurious condominiums hug the beaches on both sides of this three-plus-mile strip of land that doesn’t grow wider than 900 feet. Inherently scenic environs — Intracoastal Waterway to the west, Atlantic Ocean to the east — make Hillsboro Beach a particularly enticing perch for snowbirds. Yet, Hillsboro Beach is a divine dominion no matter what page the calendar is on. Scenery aside, the town is also a quick trip to further excitement Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, and even Boca Raton. However, no matter where you go, the historic Hillsboro Inlet Light will mark the way home.
