Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Pretty Beach, but parking was horrible. We got a $25 ticket because we didn't see a sign that was hidden by a truck. We even asked the attendant if it was OK to park there and he said sure. Boy, we were so mad when we saw the ticket. I think it was a scam.

Probably the biggest beach in town, walkable from hotels and restaurants, a bit stretch of sun and fun. Great for families and for everyone.

Good place. Ruined by people sleeping on the street next to and inside this park. Cigarette butts everywhere.

I did enjoy this beach but I do believe it’s not my favorite. There are lots of beautiful palm trees and the area was clean when I visited with my son and grandchild. Parking was a slight challenge.

Once upon a time you could park all along the beach. Now your options are limited to a few spots on side streets, a parking garage a couple of blocks away, and this beach park which charges $4 an hour. Unlike the gulf coast with its beautiful white sand beaches and free parking, there is no free beach parking in Broward.

This park is located on the ocean just south of the Bahai Mar Resort. There are a ton a parking spots but the city shuts the park down when they hold concerts on the beach like the Audacity Music Festival coming up.

Park amenities include a non motorized boat ramp, restrooms, pedestrian bridge to cross A1A, grills, picnic tables, basketball courts, outdoor fitness court, and sand volleyball court. Historically speaking this park was where the Seminoles would haul over their canoes from the intracoastal into the ocean. It was also the site of the third fort Lauderdale built by major Lauderdale during the Second Seminole War.

The view and access to the beach and ocean can't be beat but the park is really long with only one entrance and exit at the end. You could be stuck in traffic a long time just getting to the park and you get let out into another one way jam when leaving. When it gets crowded and you finally make it into the park, it can be a real cluster plus there is always construction equipment in here taking up spaces. There are so many parking spaces but the lot gets filled on the weekend. This is the only beach parking left and I think the city should add more entrance and exists to make the lot more user friendly.

Gorgeous!! Clean, lovely walking path along the beach. Highly recommend walking here then having your picture taken in the oversized wooden beach chair.

Lots of activities here with volleyball nets, charcoal grills and lots of picnic tables. Plenty of parking, too.

Generally a clean beach, except when Spring Breakers are in town and dump their trash on the sand, as is happening now. Still, this beach area is well maintained. Lifeguard stands. Basketball court. Restaurants across the street. Walkers and joggers on the sidewalk bordering the beach. Meter parking available.
