There is not much here except the Saturday Farmer's market which is small but worth a visit. Stay away from the adjoining parking lots that charge $20 / hr. Instead, there is a large City lot a couple of blocks south at $4 / hr.

Closed for the week end due to corona virus, Broward County's front porch is now open. It's an expansive shoreline. It stretches from Ft Lauderdale South Beach Park all the way to NE18th St. Parts of the beach have certain personality traits. Ft Lauderdale Beach Park (which I named this experience) is popular because of its many picnic tables and outdoor grills that draw lots of families. It also has a basketball court, playground, &volleyball nets. Me, its where I set and watch the World go by (people watching at its very best).

I love Fort Lauderdale because you can walk along the street; however, the people and the crowds have changed over the years. I enjoyed jogging and walking along the strip every morning. The beach park strip is over 4 km long. Many homeless people are sitting on the cement walls asking for money; this is unpleasant

Generally a clean beach, except when Spring Breakers are in town and dump their trash on the sand, as is happening now. Still, this beach area is well maintained. Lifeguard stands. Basketball court. Restaurants across the street. Walkers and joggers on the sidewalk bordering the beach. Meter parking available.

Just at the beginning of the terrific Ft. Lauderdale beach you'll find this park with plenty of picnic tables for guests. Many trees around can provide free shade. There's a praking lot in vicinity and a basketball court on spot.
Very nice place to spend few hours relaxing and enjoying time with family and friends.

Pretty Beach, but parking was horrible. We got a $25 ticket because we didn't see a sign that was hidden by a truck. We even asked the attendant if it was OK to park there and he said sure. Boy, we were so mad when we saw the ticket. I think it was a scam.

I was here in May 2018. This year I came in July and at the beginning of my stay there was a lot of seaweed. It is something I have never seen in Florida since I have been coming here. The seaweed was thick and smelled really bad; I didn’t go to the beach for the first three days of my vacation. The fourth day of my vacation all the seaweed was gone, the beach was clear and there was no more smell. The Beach Park has city bikes to rent for a fee, basketball courts, swings for all ages, and bench parks. The Park is on the Ocean Front and is open until 2am. It is a very nice place to come during the day or night.

Beach directly across street from hotel. Very clean and well patrolled by the lifeguards. The beach area is owned by the City so the chairs and umbrellas there are for rent. Always be sure to negoatiate a deal.

It is such a beautiful beach! You can play games, do a picnic, take photos, walk or run along it or just stay on a bench and enjoy the breeze from the ocean! It has parking with acceptable rate ( 1.75. $ per hour )

Is it possible to use the basketball court for free in front of the beach?
Written August 18, 2019
Yes, you can rent chairs. It is an option. Hope that this helps.

How far is it to walk down the beach to see the cruise ships leaving in the late afternoon??
Written December 30, 2018
Hi Jim .... you can park at the Beach Park (there is a fee based on an hourly rate) and watch the ships leave from there. If you want a closer look, you can still park at the park and walk down to the inlet which is about 5,000 feet. HOWEVER .. be aware that walking down to the inlet will take you through private beaches and sometimes someone will stop you. I have been stopped once but most of the time, no issues. Joe
