Great beach to lounge and enjoy the amazing January Florida weather. Note that renting chairs and umbrellas is very expensive. Between $50 and $75. So bring your own if you can. Also, where are the public restrooms??? Couldn’t find any… otherwise, very enjoyable and a great LGBTQ friendly beach.
Sebastian Street Beach is one of my favorite spots in Fort Lauderdale! The beach is always clean, with soft sand and clear water that’s perfect for swimming. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and it’s known for being very friendly and inclusive, which makes it a comfortable place for everyone. Lifeguards are usually on duty and attentive, so you feel safe even if the beach gets busy. What I also love is the location — right in the heart of Fort Lauderdale Beach, so you can easily grab a coffee, snack, or cocktail from nearby restaurants and bars and come back to the water. Parking can be a bit tricky on weekends, but it’s manageable if you come early. The vibe is fun, social, and easygoing, with lots of people just enjoying the sun and the ocean. Overall, it’s a fantastic beach to spend the day, whether you’re alone, with friends, or visiting as a couple. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in Fort Lauderdale! 🌴☀️🌊
I love going to this beach because it has beautiful white sand. I prefer to go at night when there's alot less people. If you go during the day, it's flocked with tourists and visitors. Don't forget your sun tan lotion!
Always a fun day out on the gay beach of Fort Lauderdale. The beaches are clean, the life savers are on point and the overall vibe is friendly. And the water, well, a whole different story in comparison to our icy 🥶 cold waters in Cape Town. Loved our swim and beach day.
Very nice beach. We have been there three summers in a row. This year july to August 2019, there was no seaweed and very clear water. It was the same in 2017, but 2018 there was a lot of seaweeds and high waves. It's not like the Caribbean breaches, but it's sure nice. There are a lot of restaurants, hotels and airbnb close to the beach, so it a "built out" area. They are building a lot down on the beach, så I am looking forward to see how it will look in a couple of year. Fort Lauderdale is know for having distances between hotels and restaurants. The overall best thing with the veas, was that we saw a manatee swimming by!
