Fort Lauderdale Beach

As of Sept. 2025, with temperatures in the high 80’s and low 90s, beech is beautiful and it’s free! It is wide - at least a 100 ft of very nice clean white sand. The water is so clean you can see the bottom of the ocean when you are standing chest high in water. And the water is still warm, unlike for example, the ocean along New Jersey. There are life guards frequently punctuated along the beech. And yes, there are plenty of places to eat, to drink, to shop and to listen to music along the boulevard that stretches for many miles. Parking is available on the street for about $3 an hour and in a garage for $10 for the 1st hr.

Been visiting with Friends/Family for over 20 years now... Aside from a well kept, well run beach by the city of Fort Lauderdale, this is a rather nice area to workout beachside. The Beach Blvd strip is full of life in the early AM right around sunrise & thereafter. A mixture of locals & tourists are there watching the sunrise & plenty runners show up very soon after sunrise. There's also a Muscle Beach type area with plenty of bars & built in equipment for exercise with a full blown basketball court beside it. Plenty of parking as well & very reasonably priced as well. Restrooms nearby, large. Farmer's Market on weekends, plenty of events year-round, well monitored by Fort Lauderdale Police, & very diverse crowd.

This we everything I needed! The Beach was amazing, safe and not crowded. Lively experience going on the strip behind us added to the fun atmosphere along with the picturesque palm trees!

I was on the beach yesterday, my son played in the sand I put my foot in the sand , when leaving and showering off , i notice oil spots on me & my son feet. Be careful ….. there’s an oil leak somewhere so now is not the time to beach bomb. Any other time it’s amazingly wonderful. Warm clean water , very nice residents in the area , and all around great people & good times .

This little street (NE 9th St. & North Fort Lauderdale Beach boulevard) has nice stores around, but looks like it needs street cleaning ASAP! There is a pizza place on one side of this street and the smell is disgusting here even when you are just walking next to it, I can't even imagine sitting and eating food outside there. I don't care who's fault this is... If this would be my business on that street I would pull out a garden hose and wash this waste off...

What a beach, minutes from my hotel, was clean, sand was great. Lots to see. Water was beyond amazing and much warmer than I expected. Really nice people around as well.

Best beach we've been to so far while in Miami! Super clean, public and close parking spaces, the water is clean and bright and we were able to find rental beach chairs from Boucher Brothers which was a huge plus!

Sand and waves were perfect. Did notice some strong currents so swim at your own risk. You can rent tables and umbrellas at a fair rate. There’s paid parking across the street and some restaurants within walking distance. The sand and beach overall were clean. Great place to bring the kids
