Often cited by the Michelin Guide and Florida Rambler, this state park (formerly John U. Lloyd Beach State Park) offers a pristine and uncrowded stretch of Atlantic coastline just south of Port Everglades. Rich in history as the site of peaceful civil rights protests, the park provides nature trails, shaded picnic spots, and kayaking through mangroves. Its unspoiled sands and historical significance make it a standout for those seeking both natural beauty and meaningful local context.
