The golden beaches of Fort Lauderdale are world famous.

Which beach is the best? Any of them! The hand of nature has been generous to this exciting and beautiful area. Along the 23 miles of beaches in Greater Fort Lauderdale, you are sure to find the perfect spot for you.

Fort Lauderdale has been awarded the national "Blue Wave" certification in recognition of its clean and eco-friendly beaches.

Central along the beach strip is Fort Lauderdale Beach, with its crisp, new, wavy-walked promenade separating the beach from the low-rise lodgings, restaurants, and beach shops. Its palm-lined sand and sea have been made famous by photographers the world over.

Equally beautiful in its natural beach endowments is Hallandale, with its fenced-in picnic area, food concessions, and chair rentals. Or Hollywood's 6 miles of sparkling beachfront featuring sand dunes, protected sea turtle hatchery, and 2.5 mile walkway called the "Broadwalk." Or Dania's fishing, hiking, boating, and picnicking. Or Lauderdale-By-The-Sea's pavilion, fishing pier, and eating facilities. Or Pompano Beach's oceanside children's playground, pavilion, barbecue grills, and picnic tables. Or Deerfield's beach's palm- edged promenade. The choice is yours in this exhilarating area of fun and sun.
