Best Beaches in Fort Lauderdale, Florida - Top 10 in Fort Lauderdale
"Just a short drive to northern Key Biscayne, Crandon Park is an island park equipped with volleyball nets, cabanas for rent and pristine turquoise waters that beckon for a dip. Aside from the stunning beaches and pearly white sands, the park is also home to mangroves, dunes and a nature center that houses exotic fish and other wildlife. Just five minutes away from Crandon Park is Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park which is home to the Cape Florida Light – the oldest standing structure in Greater Miami."
"An abandoned zoo on a subtropical island, ever since Dade County's main zoological park decamped to way down south, the Crandon Park Gardens, or just Crandon Gardens (both derivations are used) has sat and grown into a hidden, mysterious botanical garden with otherworldly follies (the former animal enclosures) scattered here and there."
"Parents love Candon Park for its gorgeous 2-mile beach, lifeguards, and picnic areas. But kids keep coming back for the vintage carousel, paved roller rink, and a seahorse fountain. Throw in the pretty arboretum and gardens and you've got one of the best spots in Miami for kids of all ages."
"The great thing about Hollywood North Beach Park is that it’s right next to the West Lake South Trail and the beach!. This means, after completing the West Lake South Trail you can head straight over to chill in the park and get ready for a dip, too. With over 50+ acres to explore, it’s easily one of the best things to do in Hollywood, Florida to just chill out."
"These are probably my favourite and the most fun on this list of instagrammable places in Miami. I just love the iconic colourful lifeguard towers in Miami, but especially the ones at South Pointe beach!. Expect to see all sorts of bright colours and fun shapes as you stroll along the beach."
"If you’re feeling ambitious on your townie cruiser, you can ride north to Bal Harbour or Haulover beaches; natives know these as water-sports havens—and for Bal Harbour’s luxury shopping. Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."
"For those of you who want a little more variety (or for those that don't like shopping), you can stop at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, where there is something for everyone. Guests have the option to enjoy the casino, horse racing, live entertainment and more."

"If you need to escape Miami’s madness, consider a green day in one of the country’s largest tropical botanical gardens. A butterfly grove, tropical plant conservatory and gentle vistas of marsh and keys habitats, plus frequent art installations from artists like Roy Lichtenstein, are all stunning. In addition to easy-to-follow, self-guided walking tours, a free 45-minute tram tours the entire park on the hour from 10am to 3pm (till 4pm weekends)."
"Review: "It truly is one of Miami's best kept secrets. The point is so beautiful ...". Type: Tourist attraction. Near The Kampong, National Tropical Botanical Garden:"
"Whether you’re looking for a casual date spot or a more refined romantic experience, La Giulietta in Ironside has all the bases covered. The Italian establishment offers a wealth of options for any price point and occasion. Swing by for lunch, and you’ll find selections like flat breads and sandwiches to fill you and your partner up, as you bask in the butterfly-filled garden."
"La Giulietta is a new Italian restaurant in Little River’s Ironside complex that replaced Ironside Bakery. The new concept is pretty much a more fleshed-out version of Ironside Bakery, with a bigger menu that’s a mix between a bakery and a pasta place. They’re open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner."
"Since it opened in 2019, Honey Uninhibited has quickly gained popularity, becoming one of the best breakfast spots in Miami for its incredible breakfast menu inspired by owner, the Bengals defensive end, Carlos Dunlap’s travels. The combination of metal and wood textures as well as the vibrant art and variety of greenery give this brunch spot in Miami a New York-Chicago loft vibe. The menu has an entire section dedicated to eggs benedict in so many combinations, with the Short Rib Benny and the Lobster Benny among the most popular."
"Please be advised Honey Uninhibited is temporarily closed as they update their kitchen and plan on re-opening on July 18th. Carlos Dunlap, the “foodie” himself, is delighted to bring you his Uninhibited Palate of flavors from both his global adventures and the Low-Country home region of the Deep South. Here you can experience a diverse menu of staple dishes from every corner."
"The food and seating options are endless – making it the best spot to work on South Beach. Make sure you visit the one on 7th, since 17th is in the midst of a tourism central. If you’re craving something sweet, try one of their blended coffee shakes!"
"From Business: Fresh and innovative sandwiches, salads, soups, sweets and more. Specialty coffee is ground from the world's finest beans and prepared by expert baristi."
