Fort Lauderdale Dog Beach

As of last year, they used to have an off leash area is between Lifeguard Post 15 and 16 from 3pm-7pm on the weekends, but it looks like they changed the hours AND the ability to have your dog off leash. Parking is on the street.

According to their website:

Hours: 6 - 9 AM, 5 - 7 PM

Location: Second set of parking spaces north of Sunrise Boulevard on A1A (approximately 1269 North Fort Lauderdale).
