    Pier
    Kim M.

    Well maintained fishing pier. $4.00 +tax per person for fishing and $2.00+tax per person for sightseeing. Convenient fresh water and non potable water stations & fishing cleaning tables available on the pier. Open 5am- midnight. Great spot for family fun.

    So picturesque
    Astrida M.

    It was my first time here, and I was impressed. Very picturesque! The pier was easy and comfortable for me to walk on. It was a busy Sunday there yesterday due to the beautiful weather. There were lots of people fishing also. It was crowded at the end, so we didn't go down there. It looked like they were having a good time, though. The pier is easy to reach from the beach, the parking lot, as well as the Quarterdeck restaurant. The parking lot is huge and full the closer you get to the pier. Further away, you will find parking spots.

    North end pier

    Parking isn't the best. In my opinion this wasn't the best local beach. Very crowded, expensive parking ($5 and change), and really dumb tent rule. Apparently beach tents and canopies are only allowed on the far north end of the pier, and only behind the lifeguard stand. This was a pretty small section that was overcrowded. Unfortunately this ruined our beach day, as we didn't have anywhere to set up the shibumi. Would not recommend

    Dania Beach has a lot of history attached to it. It was the first city to be incorporated in Broward County. The 974 foot Dania Beach Pier stretching out over the Atlantic Ocean was constructed in 1958. It closed in 1990 after a study found it badly deteriorated and it replaced in 1995. The wooden pier is starting to show its age. Parts are taped off as wood is being replaced. Compared to the brand new state of the art pier in Pompano, this pier is looking dated but it is still beloved by anglers and is one of the most popular places to fish in the city since you don't need a license. It costs $3 to enter the pier if you want to fish and $2 if you are a spectator. Once you are out on the pier there is a nice view of the beach and the cruise ships at Port Everglades off in the distance. This is some pretty inexpensive fun. I think the best part of the pier is the Quarterdeck restaurant. It has my favorite outdoor water front dining high atop the ocean but it is a small area and is extremely limited and difficult to get a spot. Parking for the pier is in the beach parking lot for $3.15 and hour. The pier is an iconic part of Dania Beach and even though it is starting to show its age, it is still worth a stroll.

    Quiet pier on Dania Beach. Fishing is permitted for $3. Pedestrians are charged $2 if they stroll past the gate. Parking at Dania Beach is very reasonable. Just $2 and hour and plenty of parking spaces. Hit the beach and skip the pier.

    Beautiful fishing pier. You do have to pay a fee if you want to fish or if you just want to walk into the pier. We weren't fishing, so we paid the $2 + tax to be "spectators". We did watch a guy pull in a Bonita, which was surprising to me. We saw fish jumping. They do have bathrooms, but they were absolutely disgusting. So be warned. And we went first thing in the morning.

    Apparently fabulous place to take selfies

    I never thought that I would come into a restaurant of absolute loud chaos and then recommend you must go there. But here we are. This place is loud, it is chaotic and the service is slow. But I swear to God Almighty it's worth it. The food is that good. You have a great view outside of The Ocean. The people watching is superb out the window and in the restaurant . The service on the drinks was quite quick. It's just a fast paced restaurant. I went with a group of 12. We had everything this restaurant offered. We had sushi, we had jambalaya, we had wings, we had burgers. The barbecue and hot mix together on wings were quite possibly the best wings I've ever eaten in my entire life and I eat ALOT of wings. The food was so amazing that you overlook the loudness and maybe a straw wrapper on the floor and you just realized that you found something special and you're going to totally ignore every other detail but the excellent food in your mouth.

    Visited the Dania Beach Pier. The water was so warm and beautiful I had fun swimming in the beach. I would definitely recommend everyone to visit Dania Beach and have a nice time there just like me and my family did!!

    The Dania Beach pier is open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. 7 days a week and is just a couple minutes bike riding from Fort Lauderdale beach. Snacks, drinks, tackle and bait are available for sale for all those who love fishing. Lovely views from the pier of the beach where you can walk around, bike or just to enjoy. There is Plenty of parking in the area and great views of the beach. This is somewhere you can relax and enjoy by the beach views!

    I remember when parking at Dania beach was affordable now it's $5.45 an hour no thank you. your beach isn't that nice for that price. I am so effin tired of greedy people taking advantage of hard working people just trying to enjoy themselves . They Doubled the price of simple parking for no reason. While I make the same amount of money. They think people won't think twice and just pay but guess what b----. I'm not doing it, I don't make extra money to just pay double. I wanted to eat at quarterdeck but I won't pay that much to eat there for parking. I'm never coming back to Dania beach there's other beaches like the Hollywood broad walk. that are nicer and don't charge such a ridiculous hourly price for parking and have more restaurants and bars to enjoy.

    Helpful and friendly staff. Had good wifi for me to use as well. Close to the beach and cool sea view

    Was not impressed with this beach at all. Surprised to see the tide so high. I was expecting to see clear blue water in the ocean. Wanted to walk the pier; however, they charge 2 bucks to enter! Had a drink at the restaurant on the pier but left shortly after.

Keating Beach Park is off the beaten path at the far north end of the Hollywood Boardwalk. This park was named in honor of former Hollywood Mayor David Keating. He served as a City Commissioner and Mayor from 1961 to 1986. In 1963 he took a walk on this stretch of beach and it cemented in his mind that it should remain public. For the next two decades he led the fight to save this strip of beach from Sheridan Street to the Hollywood-Dania Beach line from Hollywood Inc., a development company that claimed they owned it, not the city. On September 4, 1981, the Fourth District Court of Appeal sided with the city and decided that the 1.5 mile of beach belonged to the city. Anyone who uses the beach here today has David Keating to thank. Today Keating Beach Park is under construction. It looks like there is structural damage to the pavilion and it is fenced off. There is no parking in this area either. The restrooms are closed and the slide is gone. Still the beach remains a glorious wide strip on sundrenched sand. This area is frequented more by locals than tourists. Here is to hopping that Hollywood gets the repairs done and opens this area back up soon.

The sand is so soft and clean, with not a single bit of seaweed. This was so surprising, as just a few miles away there was a substantial amount of seaweed. There were palm trees that offered a perfect amount of shade if you prefer to lie and read your book or take a nap on the beach. Be sure to layer on the sunscreen, I used an SPF 60, and still walked away a bit flushed. The water was very comfortable and clean. I took a swim a few times, and this is in April. Why can't every beach be like Keating Beach? But wait... there was a lady who came and was yelling profanities, I thought she was on her phone, but she was actually just venting loudly to herself. She had all eyes on her, there was no stopping her. I suppose that's one way to exercise your freedom of speech! Keating Beach is as perfect as they come. Hopefully you won't encounter the minor interruption like I did.
