Parking: The southern section is infamous for limited and pricey beachside parking. This section of the beach begins at Sunrise Boulevard and continues to Oakland Park Boulevard. The south section runs from Sunrise Boulevard to Las Olas and there are a plethora of gay owned and gay friendly businesses located on Sebastian Street.Īlthough not as popular, the northern beach is just as beautiful, and provides a nice escape from the crowds. Fort Lauderdale Beach lies along State Route A1A (also known as Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard and Seabreeze Boulevard), and is divided into two main sections: north and south.
