Loggerhead Park

This northern end of Fort Lauderdale Beach is my favorite spot for walking, swimming and snorkeling. Located at the end of 27th, a couple of blocks south of Oakland Park Boulevard on A1A, this hidden gem is a favorite of locals. You will find a small parking lot nestled between two impressive beach homes, newly painted Adirondack chairs facing the water, a shower at the entrance, and a couple of picnic tables. There are no lifeguards here, so it is important to check the daily Ft. Lauderdale Beach report, online, to know the current water conditions and which flags are flying. This is a super peaceful, pleasant and very quiet area. During high season, go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to get a parking space, as there are only about 20, with one handicapped spot, and pay at the meter or even better with the parking app. Lots of windsurfers to watch on windy afternoons. If you like diving and snorkeling, this is an excellent spot. In fact, most mornings you will see dive teams going out. I particularly like the snorkeling here. This is a safe, fun location that makes you feel you are in your own private paradise. Lot opens at 8:00 A.M., and closes at 8:00 P.M. Oh, it is also the perfect place to view the full moon!
