Areas to avoid on East Coast?

Lulu Belle · 7 Jan 19, 03:00 PM

We'll be arriving into Miami and want to spend a night north of Miami airport (approx 1 hour drive). Is there any areas we should avoid? I read that West Palm Beach wasn't the nicest location but not sure how true this is. I've been looking at Boca Raton/Deerfield mainly which look good.

We'll only be spending 1 night there so doesn't have to be fancy aka expensive but it must be clean, quiet and have free parking.

I stayed at west palm beach last summer for one night to split my trip from Miami to Orlando
We stayed at the Hyatt and great location - across the road were all the shops and restaurants and I have to say I loved it , really nice feel .
There is also a shopping are very exclusive , we drove through it only !
If I can further help just ask x

You wouldn't get to West Palm Beach within the hour.

Deerfield Beach is a good place at the limit of your driving time (depending what route you take)

Thanks Barry. My DH has said he doesn't mind driving further although I think 1 hour after a long flight would be ideal esp with kids. Deerfield does look good.

thanks

We were about one hour 20 mins from airport to west palm beach - an area worth looking at is Worth Avenue !

We stayed at Deerfield Beach last august for the night and it took us about an hour and 15 mins to get there after we got out of the airport. Was a nice area, quiet but a good few bars and restaurants there. We stayed at the Wyndham and it was lovely, clean, nice little pool and literally on the beach.
