Fort Lauderdale Beaches

A visitors introduction to the beaches at Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding areas

By Kevin Stith

Florida has a Clean Beaches Council that grades beaches as per a few criteria. Twenty two parameters are tested and compared for grading.

Some of these criteria are periodic water quality tests, easy access to emergency care, environment preservation and the like. Beaches that meet all the twenty two criteria are designated as "Blue Wave Beaches."

Fort Lauderdale Beach, Dania Beach, Deerfield Beach, Hollywood Beach and Pompano Beach are all certified "Blue Wave Beaches."

Lauderdale- By-The-Sea is a pristine town located just across the Intracoastal Waterway. Its clean and quiet beach is good for relaxation. Access to good restaurants takes care of necessities.

The Northern Beach Area is located between Oakland Park Boulevard and Sunrise Boulevard. This is mainly a quiet area and is a favorite spot for treks, picnics and the like. There is an underground pathway beneath the A1A to this beach.


The South Beach Area is the more active portion of Fort Lauderdale beaches. Numerous beachfront shops, restaurants, nightclubs and the like, present avenues for enjoying time on the beach. The natural coral reef system is one of the most attractive features of Fort Lauderdale's beaches. Face to face with such natural wonders tends to leave one speechless.

In 1986 Fort Lauderdale beach was renovated at a cost of $26 million. A complete redesign of coastal roadway A1A, the elimination of diagonal beach front parking, the addition of landscaped medians, pullout lanes, bicycle lanes, new traffic signals, brick paved pedestrian crosswalks, expanded sidewalks and a pedestrian beachfront promenade made a lot of difference. These changes made Fort Lauderdale beach more attractive and convenient for tourists.

During this renovation a beach wavewall was constructed. This is a flowing swirling beachwall that extends over a distance of two miles. This wavewall brings hordes of curious onlookers thronging to Fort Lauderdale beach.

Fort Lauderdale beaches have vistas for enjoyment for all kinds of people right from the quiet and retiring type to the most active and gregarious people. All types of people are guaranteed to enjoy the dalliance with nature at Fort Lauderdale beaches.

Fort Lauderdale provides detailed information on Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale Residential Real Estate, Fort Lauderdale Airport, Fort Lauderdale Bail Bonds and more. Fort Lauderdale is affiliated with Swim with Dolphins in Hawaii.
