Sightseeing
Recent visitors loved Fort Lauderdale Beach for its wide, expansive shoreline with some noting that even when there were a lot of people, it didn't feel crowded. Many were also impressed with how clean the beach is, adding that its calm waters make it a great place to bring kids.
There is no charge to enter the beach, but on-site parking will cost you $1.75 per hour. Sun Trolley's Las Olas Link and Beach Link routes also stop by the beach, or you can take the No. 11 or 40 bus to one of the stops along North Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard. Bonnet House Museum & Gardens, Hugh Taylor Birch State Park are close by.
