Fort Lauderdale Beach Park Beach
You'll smell sunscreen mixing with salt air the moment you step onto the brick Wave Wall, a curved promenade that hugs this mile of shoreline. Families spread picnic blankets beneath palms while joggers dodge beachgoers crossing from parking meters to tide line. By late afternoon, the western sky turns tangerine above the Intracoastal behind you.

The urban setting means help is readily available if needed.
