Fort Lauderdale Canine Beach

In a big marked stretch of the beach in Fort Lauderdale, dogs are allowed off-leash. This dog park has dog bags, water, and beach showers. There's also a city officer on hand to assist with any issues and to police the rules at the beach. Although the beach is close to the road, the officer and dunes are both between the beach and the road, so parking is the only concern. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are the only days when the beach is open. Per dog, a one-weekend permit costs $7.
