Other than the standard picnic areas and walking trails there's the beach, and the beach is everywhere in Florida. More

Went there for a wedding in Nov 2011 and there was these flies that goes on your skin and bites you everywhere. I will not enter to that park ever. More

Went here specifically to snorkel. They have an artificial reef made up of these huge concrete jacks. When you enter the park ask for a reef map. Park in the first parking area. Head south on the beach. You will see a few of the concrete jacks on the beach. It seemed to me that the jacks in the water... More

We really enjoyed it, parking lot #3 had restrooms and changing rooms, both good because we had two, two-year olds. Great views and mild surf. More

Packed during holidays. Also there seems to be some serious beach erosion because there is like a cliff. I don't know if they've fixed that though, it's been a few years since i've been. More

You can almost forget you are in over developed South Florida when visiting this park. The reminders are the planes flying in for a landing at FLL and the ships pulling into the port. Its a small slice of wilderness. Great beach, you can kayak, and it has facilities. More

I've been going to this park for over 13 years, and i have always loved it. The boat ramp is good and you have a nice spot to beach your boat if you want to use the restroom or grab a bite at their little grill bar. ( good food actually) the beach has always been fun to walk on... More

Cost us $9 to enter park. Bad erosion on beach and quite a bit of trash. Rough surf. Not a good beach for children. However, picnic areas and bathroom facilities were clean and very nice. Several motor homes there; that would be the way to go. More

This state park is north of Hollywood, FL, and adjacent to Dania Beach. While there may be an entry fee for cars to park, it is free to walk in along the beach from Dania. There were stretches of miles with not a person on the beach (may have been due to weather/time of day). Ocean swimming was really nice,... More
