Lauderdale-By-The-Sea is a small beachfront town on Florida's east coast just north of Fort Lauderdale.
Once you arrive in this coastal community of 6,000 residents, it's a short stroll to just about anywhere: the beach: Anglin's Fishing Pier, the eateries featuring a variety of cuisines, and cute shops lining Commercial Boulevard from Anglin's Square, the town's quaint oceanfront district, to the Intracoastal.
There's plenty to do: walk along the Town's Blue Wave beaches, fish off the pier, go paddle boarding, or dive or snorkel. Lauderdale-By-The-Sea is Florida's Beach Diving Capital.
Lauderdale-By-The-Sea does not allow tall buildings along its beach and in town; that's why the community has maintained its Old Florida charm, reminiscent of Florida in the 1950s.

A short walk from Fort Lauderdale Beach, Hugh Taylor Birch State Park is an oasis of the last Tropical Maritime Hammock in all of Broward County. It preserves the natural heritage of subtropical coastal habitat that once covered southeast Florida.
The property is a magnificent gift from the late Mr. Hugh Taylor Birch to Florida’s posterity. His former estate, which once also included the Bonnet House property, preserves four distinct natural communities, nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway.
There are many amenities that visitors can enjoy during their visit, including renting canoes, kayaks, pedal boats and stand-up paddle boards to enjoy the park’s one-mile freshwater coastal dune lake. The concessionaire, Park & Ocean, offers rentals for bikes, beach gear, jet skis and more. There’s even an oceanfront, open-air restaurant serving delicious fare and craft beer. Many visitors enjoy fishing from the 1.2-mile seawall, which has recently been restored. And there’s a 1.8-mile loop road through the park – recently widened – for biking, walking, skating and driving
