A beach resort community with an unmistakable small-town vibe

Beach Coastal Tourism Dining Ocean Scenic Suburb

Positioned halfway between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea is a coastal community offering the best of the South Florida lifestyle. Positioned on a barrier island, you’re never far from the water; boating, fishing, and generally lounging on the beach are among the locals’ favorite pastimes.

The local rental marked ranges from swanky beachfront condos to unpretentious bungalows, with something for every taste and budget. Most of the shops and restaurants in town are clustered around Commercial Boulevard, which is the main route back to the mainland and terminates at the foot of Anglin’s Fishing Pier. Enjoy your morning coffee watching the sun rise over the Atlantic at Aruba Beach Café, or cap off an evening at Ocean Mist Pub.

When you’re looking for a change of scenery, Fort Lauderdale and Miami are close at hand, and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is only about twenty minutes away.
