Home to some of the nation’s most beautiful beaches, Fort Lauderdale has so much to offer to those looking for sand, sun and serenity. With a wide array of beaches catering to different interests, including water sports, lounging, dining and more, almost everyone is certain to find a place that they can call home in the Fort Lauderdale area. Here are some of Fort Lauderdale’s top beaches:
#4 Hollywood Beach
Location: Broward County
Hollywood Beach is the perfect place to escape with your friends and family to enjoy the never-ending border of restaurants, bars and local artwork. There is an abundance of food, from ice cream parlors to seafood restaurants to pub food – you name it! The Hollywood Boardwalk, an expansive promenade that runs 3 miles along the beautiful beach, is a prime location for avid cyclists, runners, couples walking hand and hand and families with young kids. Get involved in sports of all sorts (bike riding, beach volleyball, kayaking, roller skating) or simply soak up the sun and rent loungers and cabanas. This beach is very family-friendly. Be sure to check out their public concerts in the summertime!
#3 Dania Beach
Location: Broward County
Dania is the much quieter option compared to its neighbor Hollywood beach. This is the perfect tranquil beach where the sun never stops shining and the view of the turquoise water never gets old. Dania beach is Ft. Lauderdale’s best-kept secret. You can sit down and relax by the shady palms, try to catch a few bass on the fishing pier, or discover the historic arts and antiques district just down the street. Dania Beach will be your go-to when you just need a day to relax without the crowd.
#2 Lauderdale-By-The-Sea
Location: Broward County
Lauderdale-By-The-Sea is Ft. Lauderdale’s best beach for snorkeling and diving. Just a hundred yards from shore, you can discover a phenomenal coral reef that’s alive with many tropical fish, turtles, and lobsters. Just north of Ft. Lauderdale beach and south of Pompano Beach, this is the perfect vibrant getaway. Come enjoy a lazy afternoon during the day and walk the streets for your choice of dining and shops at night. Whether you are fishing off Anglin’s Fishing Pier or playing games on the colorful promenade, you are promised to have a good time. The options are endless!
#1 Central Beach
Location: Las Olas and A1A
Central Beach a.k.a. “the hub” was given its nickname from its central location in one of Ft. Lauderdale’s top neighborhoods. Vacationers, college students on spring break and locals come for its miles-long beach, high-energy nightclubs, top-notch restaurants, premium hotel lounges and more. Nothing beats enjoying the day in clear turquoise water and having a large variety of fun things to do in the evening. Every Friday night from March to November, you can enjoy Night Soundwaves, a free concert series on the beach. With the luxurious white sand, crystal blue waters and friendly tourists – this is the place you want to be!
