Great spot for fishing or taking a stroll. Sunsets and sunrises are epic from the pier. Perfect photo op opportunity. The sea breeze is lovely, nice an cool. It’s $2 to walk on the pier and $7 to fish with your own gear. They rent fishing poles and sell bait, weights, hooks etc. You can see for miles North and South of the pier. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Prices are reasonable for the area. Nice little spot to check out.

To those who are going to the Florida area I strongly suggest Dania Beach. The pier was close to where I was at but I didn't actually go to the fishing pier. However I could see it from my location to those who are looking for a relaxing time at the beach this is the beach for you there is an area for you to wash off and shower as for public restrooms where they were located. I used this beach to go snorkeling and it's truly beautiful there it's not too much riffraff and not too much of a loud crowd make sure you wear plenty of sunblock and bring plenty to drink to stay hydrated Maybe when I go back I will go to the fishing pier an experience that but this was by far my favorite vacation of this year! I love Dania Beach... Its a place to fall in love

Beautiful day. Great place to go fishing or just people watch and still have a place for your group to hang out with ample seating area. $2 to get on the pier for adults, $1 for kids. $7 to fish.

Excellent location for a day at the beachfront. Grab your family, friends or just head on over for you time. Lots of fun and friendly people fishing and enjoying the cafe. Eat in the restaurant or right on the pier. Currently under construction and likely understandably as conditions for repairs must be daunting: current's,visibility,existing marine life, the all encompassing biosphere down there. Limited allowable live load capacity so no trip to the tip of the structure allowed. Fun to be had any how, just like the surrounding area's common & extraordinary habitats. Like a fine meal, don't rush and do it perfectly. Thanks for the MEMORIES!!!

We love to go on this pier. It’s beautiful place to admire the beach and ocean. People are friendly, every minute someone catches a fish and pelicans coming close to you expecting for some fish snacks. It’s just $2 for adult and $1 for a kid

The restaurant was nice, the staff was kind and food was good. The atmosphere was also nice and we loved our little breakfast moment here. Menus were a bit old and torn and I would recommend that you print new ones just for a little facelift. However you need to pay $2 to get to the actual peer. It was a ripoff because there really wasn't anything to see. A few fisherman and a pelican is not worth the money.

Good fishing spot. 24 hours. Great experience of fishing with my son. My son really loved this place. He caught many snappers, pompanos, blue fishes, etc. here. Nice view. FLL area. Good restaurants around and well developed community.

Definitely a nice area to come chill, look at the pier because it’s in no rush putting itself back together. Smh but the variety of restaurants, bars, stores, beach area plus the salt water. You can’t get no better. Oh parking is pretty ample, it of course cost money but it’s right in the middle of things to do. 🤷‍♂️

Beautiful place . Quiet, wonderful view and close to the restaurants.

We have dropped by every week for the past two years. It’s exactly what we wanted: calm and colorful, alive with music and good food, enveloping sea breeze and happy vacationers. Come!

Nice beach with food and places to park. Park on the side 2 hrs for $4.5 its a good idea to use the parking app. Lunch at Aruba Beach Cafe and pick a window seat. Very clean restrooms.

It's a small area but it's lively and has everything you would expect at a beach pavilion. Food, water, restrooms, dog friendly. Great place to enjoy the beach, whether you are on the sand or chill under the shade.

Beautiful beach! However being forced to pay $20 to park for 2 hours is completely ridiculous. The local police are cruising through the parking areas waiting to pounce on any vehicle that has exceed its time limit so that they can ticket/boot it. There are signs every that say it will cost you $65 to get the boot removed. Not very conducive to the tourists who come to the area and want to visit the local businesses as well as enjoy the beach. I was constantly looking at my watch and because of this, didn't really enjoy my time there. I won't return.

Beautiful little area, they have a couple of large sized games for kids(connect four and Lego) plus lots of Adrionack chairs with umbrellas where you can relax.

Public parking is right in front of the beach entrance. Walking one block with all beach accessories is very easy. There are also two places to rinse off sands.

El Prado Park is quaint, peaceful and the beach feels like paradise. Perfect beach with soothing white sand, relaxing warm sea water, and friendly people. A picturesque must visit beach, Lauderdale By The Sea is absolutely beautiful!

El Prado Park is a wonderful clean park to watch beautiful sunrises. Paid parking directly across the street. Quieter beach to relax if your by Lauderdale-by-the-sea.

Tiny spot near the beach with a few free chairs and some grass. I heard that a good food truck/tent is set up here on Sundays though! I'd give a higher rating if it was a bigger spot. I'd hang out here if the main beach area was too crowded. You can't really see the water from the chairs but it's just a few steps from this area.

Top 3 beach spots in FT lauderdale. Easy to park, Clean, tranquil. I could sit all day in those Adirondack chairs and just enjoy the cool breeze. And when I get hungry some of the best spots are only a few steps away.

I love this beach a lot. First because it is always clean and quiet. Second right here such amazing surf camp for kids. It is work almost all summer. And this year we get second session. Coach is do amazing. Kids learn not only surf but also paddle board. Which is really great.

A nice park along the beach. Several chairs to sit in and a couple of picnic tables. They have a shower to wash off sand

Wonderful! Great place to get coupons, maps, what to do activities, places to go information. Very helpful and friendly staff. Lots of brochures full of activities in the area. Parking in the back of the building.

Best chair ever. Also there works a very friendy lady who helped us to find nice places to visit here.

If you stop in here, there is a lovely lady who will guide you through all of the different brochures and catalogs and point out the ones with coupons. You can even buy a good quality Lauderdale by the Sea souvenir.

Upon visiting the visitor’s center in Lauderdale by the Sea Veronica was very helpful and extremely personable. She is knowledgeable and informative about events and places to visit. She’s a sweetheart of a lady!! Thank you Veronica for your assistance!!

Very nice, friendly and helpful ladies. Great recommendations and a lot of coupons. Highly recommend this visitor center.

I am grateful to the LBTS chamber board and Tina . So welcoming and many different opportunities/events to meet with other businesses who want to learn and uplift each other and the community.

Perfect location near the beach. Usually a lot spots on parking.

Renew playground!

2 week vacation, was there twice a day with my son. Great park with bathrooms on site, childrens play park, basketball and tennis courts, would get rid of bocci court and add another basketball full court instead. Only saw people using it once during the two weeks. Players while there were always friendly and willing to play pick up matches no matter what age difference there was.

Sweet playground with sand all around! Great bathroom right next to playground so convenient, parking is a bit confusing though

This is a good neighborhood park for kids. Since it is two blocks from the beach, the playground is mostly sand. There is a pirate ship playground with slides and a moving bridge. There are also swings, picnic tables, a covered shelter, basketball courts, and bathrooms. In addition to city parking, there are meters that you can use the Pay By Phone app.

Absolutely beautiful playground for kids. Not too big. Safety place. Restroom close. Good for small kids. A lot of shade. Which important in Florida. It is lovely and nice place.

The Freidt Family Park is named in honor of Lucy Lawrence Friedt and her husband, Glenn who came to the area now known as Lauderdale-by-the Sea in search of a winter home. They are most well known in town history for securing the charter for the town of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. In 1939 the couple purchased a cottage they named Villa Serena and developed the 145-room Villas by the Sea resort around it. During WWII the Freidt family could sit outside and watch the U Boat patrols off the coast. Mrs. Friedt was involved in several civic organizations including the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Women's and Garden Clubs and the Daughter of the American Revolution. Mr. Freidt made his fortune in the auto industry and the Friedts donated the town's water system in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and the land for the town tennis courts. They also gave money to the Community Church next to the park and the Fellowship Hall is dedicated to Glenn Friedt. Glen Freidt passed away in 1994 and Lucy passed away in 1996. The Freidt Family Park is located behind the town hall. Park amenities include a nicely maintained basketball court, bocci court, playground, shuffleboard, and tennis court. There is also an open green space with a paved pathway around the perimeter and benches. This park is great for taking the kids play, playing sports, and walking your dog. I had to chuckle when I overheard a conservation on the basketball court between some older gentlemen playing a game. "Hey youngster, did you get your hearing aid?" "I got two but the dog ate them!." So much to look forward to as I age. I give those guys credit. They were out hustling the ball over the court in the ninety degree heat.
