This is a hidden gem public access beach with a few parking spots that are easy to get in and out of. The waves can be extra strong out here. But that is not going to stop the little ones from jumping into the ocean. No public access bathrooms at this beach access. There is a water hose to rinse off your sandy feet.
My favorite beach park ever!!! from the moment you park, you see 6 colorful Adirondack chairs overlooking the beach and the showers. Then you walk forward and it’s always empty/dog friendly. Good kiting spot too!!
We stumbled across this little park on our way back to our airbnb. It was super quiet with a few folks sitting around reading and enjoying the day. Easy access to the beach and a water fountain (??) To wash off afterwards. There's only a few parking spaces which make this spot feel exclusive. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll definitely be back.
Super quiet, quaint, beautiful beach at the northern end of Fort Lauderdale Beach. You will find colorful Adirondack chairs, an area to picnic, about 12 or 14 parking spaces, including handicapped, a bike rack, shower and a great reef for snorkeling and diving! Park is open from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Locals love this area as it is less crowded. No lifeguards here, so as I have mentioned before, do check the online Fort Lauderdale Beach conditions. Report comes out daily around 8:00 AM and will indicate what flags are flying. Remember, purple flag means marine life, such as stinging jellyfish, may be present. Green flags indicate ideal conditions; yellow flags signify caution is needed due to waves and currents; and red flags indicate rough and possibly dangerous conditions. Use the parking app as it is much easier, and you’ll receive reminders, as I do, as I tend to overstay!!! This is a wonderful section of the beach if you want peace and quiet. It’s also a swimmer’s dream! Enjoy!
So I got married here over 8 years ago. The tree we got married under has since even removed. New chairs on deck but everything remains the same. I was sad to see the amount of homeless people living on the North Wall. A guy pulled up and unloaded a few more. They were loud and it doesn't look right for a family friendly park with beach access.
Small little park a hidden gem. Opening hours from 8AM -8PM daily but....be prepared on Sundays that the park opens their gates around 9AM as they still manual open them. Update: To many people find that place now.
Easy reef access, but unguarded, so swim at your own risk. Quiet neighborhood and well kept grounds. Nice family beach park
I've been scuba diving at Vista Park for over 6 years. This large Patch Reef is home to a lot of marine life. But the best reef is beyond this one. I've seen huge schools of tarpon here, green sea turtles, sergeant majors, angelfish, various types of crab, large coral heads and more here. If you swim past the patch reef, there's a nice size ledge where I've seen octopus.
