It's just across the Ritz Carlton at the intersection of A1A and Sebastian. It's a beach open to all, but mostly frequented by the LGBT+ community. There are chairs and umbrellas for rent. Almost always there's someone with nice music, so you have the option to be close to the sounds of music or take a quieter place a few feet away. The beach has some nice shower heads, so you can rinse off as you come in or leave the beach. Close to public transportation, shared rides or public parking lots, it's easy and convenient to most people who live in east of Federal and between Las Olas and Commercial. Check it out.

Living just down the road from here means it's a beach that I've frequented for over 20 years…read more While there's been a good bit of inevitable change over that time, it's stayed relatively the same in terms of the beach itself. The water & shoreline has continued to uphold its beauty. I love coming here when I'm feeling the itch to get out by the water. The biggest change (for the worse) is there's now a parking fee. I preferred back when it was free but since I haven't been in a while I'm not sure how long it's been like this. The fee isn't terrible, which is somewhat a positive at least. The parking lot itself is massive so I've never had an issue finding a spot even on busy days. I noticed there's a lot more trash cans along the beach, which was great to see. There's some picnic tables, a fishing pier, multiple showers to rinse off at & plenty of space to lounge. There's a smaller public restroom which is definitely a smart new addition (since I'd last been). The scattered trees provide some shade but don't expect to find much else unless you're by the pier/restaurant. As far as this coast goes, I really enjoy coming to Dania compared to others. Most of the time I can take a short walk in either direction & find myself relatively alone which is my favorite thing to do outdoors. P.S. Utilize those trash cans! Pick up after YOURSELF & OTHERS. Whatever you bring with you, take it back. Just because you didn't bring the trash doesn't mean you can't pick it up. Let's work together to keep our beaches clean.

The beach itself is wide, clean, and perfect for a relaxing stroll or simply sitting back and taking in the ocean views. During our visit the water was surprisingly cold, and there was quite a bit of seaweed along with lots of jellyfish, so swimming wasn't really in the cards for us. That said, the scenery alone makes it worth the visit. The sound of the waves, the ocean breeze, and the gorgeous shoreline create a peaceful place to unwind. There is a Walgreens and a convenience store across the street to load up on supplies and snacks. If you're just walking the sand or enjoying the view, Fort Lauderdale Beach is a lovely spot to spend some time and appreciate the beauty of the Atlantic.

My contact at the town, however, told me that the grassy area used to be a parking lot years ago and most of the amenities were added within the last ten years. There's resident permit parking right out front and metered parking just across the street. As you walk along the sidewalk there are colorfully painted Adirondack chairs -- two per -- under umbrellas. And a shade pavilion with chairs. At the beach entrance are various signs with information. No dogs are allowed nor is cigarette smoking on the beach. The park is open 7 am - 10 pm. There's a display with life jackets hanging from it in case someone needs to borrow one. And some info re rip currents and water safety. Two shower towers are at the entrance, too. There are bottom water spouts for washing the sand off your feet after the beach, as well. One of the nicest things was the beach access path. There are two entrances to the beach and one is covered in a hard mesh -- perfect for wheel chairs or wheeled carts or if you have trouble walking. I took a short walk out to the beach itself. It's wide with clean, white sand here. Mid week it wasn't busy with visitors. Talk about a "chamber of commerce" picture! I couldn't resist taking a short video. We truly live in paradise and this park proves it.
