Out of all the parks I've gone to I love this park most of all it is off the beaten path it is far inland once you go through the pay booth you going a long winding road I believe it has a college and aquatic college that studies sea life within it as well it is a lot of fun watching all the cruise ships come out of the channel you are in between fort Lauderdale and date while you're in this park this used to be called John your Lloyd State Park the name was changed and if you research it you can see why it has a lot of historic value to it the thing I like about this park most of all is that as far as beaches go it is very family oriented it has pavilions where you could have parties it has bathrooms outdoor showers but it does not have the chaotic pace of the normal Miami beaches I would recommend families who have young children who really want to just stay away from the traditional high energy of most of the beaches or who are looking for maybe a particular calmness as opposed to the again high energy of most beaches I would recommend this park anytime any day again it's a five star rating as far as I'm concerned because of all the amenities and the ability to get away from the normal high-rise condos fast-paced beaches that Miami is lined with so take your family and your little ones to this and enjoy an amazing day bring your own food there's barbecues you can use and again it's just a great place you can fish right off the beach or off the stone jetties The...

There are more parks ahead on the main road but you need to most definitely have a car because from Frank C. it's a 45 minute hike and about...
Read moreBeach is great for kids, quite a bit of seaweed at the sand but the sandbars are crystal clear. There are showers at the beach line every so often. Paddleboards/kayaks are allowed all the way to the south and all the way to the north ends of the beach.The pier is $2 to get onto and you need a mask to enter but once you're in they dont require it. Beachgoers are nice and respectful. Never had a problem finding a parking spot, however, not all the meters work. My first time there i tried 3 different meters and then just decided to chance it. Sure enough, a $43 ticket. I tried to appeal it but it was...
