    Las Olas Beach is definitely a very nice beach. It looks clean and well maintained. There is a workout area, basketball court and volleyball nets. Enjoyed walking along the hotel and restaurant strip that oversees the beach. Even enjoyed a drink at 411 South Bar & Grill.

    Lots of parking options some lots are costlier than others so my advice is to dig around a little before you go to find the best spot and hourly rate for you. Once there it is a blast! There’s tons of restaurants with ocean views to enjoy. Lots of people. Beautiful ocean. Shopping! The energy is great. You’ll definitely have a fun time here!

    Nestled against the backdrop of pristine white sands, this beach offers convenient access with ample paid parking nearby. The ambiance is further enhanced by an array of inviting bars, creating a relaxed atmosphere for visitors. The shoreline buzzes with various beach activities, catering to diverse preferences. Entrance is free, and complimentary shower stations are scattered across the area, enhancing the overall convenience and comfort for beachgoers. Love it! Enjoy your time here!!

    This is a really a nice play to go with friends and family, fortunately you don’t have to smell ilegal drugs like other beaches in Miami. There are good activities like jogging, swimming (sand is clean), exercise, walk and sightseeing. Also there are good restaurants with good prices. Only one thing to pay attention: pay your parking side on machines or on your mobile because there is a man who put fees really fast like I saw that day. Enjoy!

  • 4/5 Bryce K. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic vibe, a lot of people, plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops to check at as you walk along the board walk. It’s like a mini Miami beach seriously. Only loosing a start because it was hard to find parking and it was $25 bucks for 4 hours on the street (we got lucky). There was also a moderate amount of seaweed in the ocean which isn’t as nice to swim in, didn’t bother me as much though. I feel like I’m getting picky after living in Florida for a year. πŸ˜† It was really fun.

    So far this is one of the places I enjoy the most. Any day, any purpose, any time of the year. The boulevard is great for a morning walking or running. The beautiful view, the music, the people, the service on every restaurant and the local stores make this place really enjoyable. The beach is great, warm, and beautiful, but very busy too. There is choice for renting chairs, plenty of restaurants, with a great variety of food. The service in this area is excellent. They have a high affluence during the whole year and therefore they are highly trainned to delivery the best service. Parking is available for a quote, somehow hard to find on weekends or busy time, but possible and completely worth it. Overall is an excellent place, on my opinion a great choice for a family time.

    Very cool beach and my first experience visiting a Fort Lauderdale beach. Only negative was that it is quite crowded on the beachfront - at least on a Saturday in December.

    Heard the Christmas lights were beautiful, there weren’t any besides a handful of palms! Shops not even decorated. The famous sandman was gone and there was construction everywhere blocking the majority of the sidewalk. Not impressed.

    Swimable and plrasent beach. Not crowded at all during our week on vacation. Mostly clean beach with trash cans spced pretty often. Lifeguard huts every 1k+ feet with active lifeguard on duty. Had plenty of picnic tables with grills. Bring your charcoal. Public restrooms and shower spaces to rinse off sand. You have a couple of options when it comes to 'Pay to Park'. No semi or tall vehicles because clearance for one way to exiting park is 9' height due to a bridge. Would have given 5 🌟 if bathrooms remained open. The city is putting bars up on functioning bathrooms and bringing in portable toilets.

    Plenty of parking, make sure you pay for enough parking time. Because people are ready to give tickets. There is showers to rinse out and restrooms to change. There is a restaurant and a pier in this beach. Pay $2 to get in pier and get a nice view of the beach. There is a lot of seaweed, its mother nature doing its thing.

  • 4/5 Sarah M. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a good afternoon here. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Lifeguards on duty. Parking can be tough in peak hours but there is paid parking all around. It was pretty busy as the hotels are right there, and even though there are garbage cans there was a lot of garbage in the sand. There was some left-behind bags and even a random spatula in the sand. We had to chase a plastic grocery bag that rolled across the beach and out into the water that no one else grabbed. Farther up the beach is more privacy and cleaner sand.

    It’s a beautiful beach to visit. Place is nice and clean. I don’t know if it was because of the New Years celebration but there was an abundance of police officers visible which gave the feeling of safety. Water looks great also, unlike some of the other beaches I’ve visited in South Florida.

    The heatwave was intense this week, but the scene was peaceful and serene. Clear, lukewarm water felt relaxing and soothing.

  • 5/5 Zac 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing beach! We stayed closer to Pompano Beach and unfortunately we found this beach on the last day. The sand is soft and the beach is clean. The parking is a little sketchy as most of the parking ramps are under the hotels or off the main road a bit. Overall the area is safe and clean and lots to do. There is a ton of food in walking distance and shops to buy sand toys and gifts thats actually priced fairly decent. We regretted not being able to spend more time at this spot as it was really perfect with not a ton of people which was surprising. There is a spot to wash off and clean your feet and they usually have a sand artist by the entrance that is fun to watch. The roof top bar across from the entrance plays loud music so you can sit on the beach and listen to the music. Like I said the parking is really the only sketchy part.

    Nice beach with beautiful water but quite possibly the most crowded beach I’ve ever seen… packed to the brim with drunk college kids.

    Beautiful beach but ruined by homeless and discharged addiction patients on the way to ⛱️ beache and on beache...they don't do anything to you but kinda uncomfortable...on the beach found Portuguese a war ...

  • 4/5 The K Green S. 11 months ago on Google
    White sands beaches and lots of pay to sit areas. The seaweed from the ocean lines the beach so be ready to step over to access the water. Water was very choppy this time of the year but still warm enough to get in and enjoy. Water looks gorgeous and the breeze never stops. The major issue is just the street noise with loud bikes and supercars and junkers always passing by, constantly. Areas of shade from palm trees and you can sit on the white beach wall and watch all day. Lots of water wash stations.

    Could be better but the we have no control of the ocean water lol needs clean up if brown weeds along the shore, sand as not as nice as the west coast or in the Caribbean. But better than no beach, so enjoy the atmosphere.

    Beautiful and well-maintained beach. Depending on the section of beach, it has different numbers of people. There are several restaurants near the beach.

  • 5/5 Bonnie K. 3 years ago on Google
    This beach is a beautiful place to escape the craziness of South Beach. South beach is a lot of fun, but this beach is more relaxing and easier to park and pick up food as it’s I close proximity to the beach. Find a nice palm tree with shade and skip the blue umbrellas as they will set you back $70.00. Music, food and sun!! Can’t complain!!

  • 5/5 Key M. 2 years ago on Google
