    Such a gorgeous beach
    We came straight here from the airport and got onto the beach. We found a parking lot with metered parking only one block from the beach without any searching. The promenade area adjoining the beach is clean and the beach itself was gorgeous. The water was so clear you could see straight to your feet. It was also very warm for November with no waves so people of all ages could get in and enjoy the water. We loved it!

Beautiful white sandy beach

Beautiful white sandy beach. Enjoyed a morning walk on the beach while taking a dip in the ocean to cool off. Water temperature delightful and very clean.

Do better Ft Lauderdale
Nov 2022 • Family
Hate to have to post this. We are done with FtLauderdale.
Open air drug dealing, mental health episodes, human waste and overall unsafe feeling all around populated beaches and shopping areas.Out of control homelessness and zombies wandering, screaming, fighting, defic all over shopping and tourist areas.
Not talking about cheap areas or deep inland, I’m talking about beachfront and family areas.
We have loved FtLauderdale, the beaches and its bars and restaurants for many years.
We will not be returning. Very sad.
We were among many many regulars working class families trying to enjoy beaches, walking the shopping areas, and all that Ft Lauderdale has to offer and we were all discussing being afraid and feeling unsafe. Very sad, we won’t be back.
Do better Ft Lauderdale.
