Town of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea
Just north of Fort Lauderdale on Florida’s Southeast Coast lies Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, a small seaside town with retro style and 2.5 miles of unspoiled shoreline.
Known for excellent shore diving, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea’s nearshore reefs are 100 yards from land.
With its lowrise hotels and midcentury architecture, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea exudes Old Florida charm. Explore this walkable community of 6,000 people on foot from the beach to the restaurants and shops of Commercial Boulevard from Anglin’s Square, the town's quaint oceanfront district, to the Intracoastal. Visitors can also take Circuit-By-The-Sea, a free shuttle, to different locations in the area.
Parks and beaches offer ample opportunities for outdoor recreation. Visit El Prado Park, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea’s most popular beach park, which is also the location for the town’s weekly farmers’ market December through May, and Washingtonia Park, another popular beach spot.
