  • Miles of continuous sand beaches make this a very pleasant experience. The City of Fort Lauderdale has also made efforts to create dunes to protect against beach erosion. Some parts of the beach are more populated than others. If you are on the beach side of A1A you can walk or ride a bike the entire way.
  • Fort Lauderdale beach One of the most beautiful beaches to exist in the entire planet. One can easily debate how can just a beach be so different and beautiful and compared to other beaches, but what they fail to realise is what lies around the beach matters too. Fort Lauderdale is a bustling town with ever so humble people and full of culture. The beach road is lined with cool shacks and big big prestigious hotels that can cater to your wildest requests and host the most amazing parties you would have ever witnessesd. The beach itself is lined with beautiful lush green palm trees, that is perfect for photos and otherwise just guides you to the pristine white sand. The white walls that separates the road from the sand is divided into segments for tower areas with very thoughtful names and artistic gates. The water is clean all the year round. In monsoon months a number of turtle nests can be spotted. I was there at the fourth of July when the city hosted a beautiful concert with country and rock singers. I was also able to witness a turtle nest hatching which is beautiful. And at the night there were spectacular fireworks
  • Nice beach, pretty sunset
  • Beautiful beach. Nice and quiet where most of the locals go to walk, hang out, sunbathe and enjoy the beautiful, warm water!! There is parking, but it’s a small parking lot. The beach was fairly clean, not much sea debris on the sand. It’s a great beach to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Ft. Lauderdale!! Kite surfers were out playing in the water when we were there!! Fun to watch!
  • I really like this beach. The sand is soft and relatively clean and for the most part the beach isn’t overcrowded. What I like: The water is clean and pretty clear. There are little fish that nip at your feet, it doesn’t hurt it’s just startling lol The sand is clean and I haven’t really seen any trash except for one water bottle near me. What I don’t like: The sand is flipping hot! You can burn your feet but you really can’t blame Mother Nature for that. The dried seaweed moves pretty high up on the sand. It’s not really bothersome but it takes away from the aesthetic. There is limited parking which means you either need to come early or park in the park nearby.
