8.9 miles away. Lauderdale-By-The-Sea is a small, seaside town just north of Fort Lauderdale. Once you arrive in this coastal community of 6,000 residents and park, you can walk just about anywhere: the beach, Anglin's Pier or the numerous shops and restaurants lining Anglin's Square, the Town's quaint oceanfront district. If you'd rather just take it easy and stare at the ocean, just sit yourself down one of the boat benches under the beach pavilion. There's plenty to do: walk along the Town's Blue Wave beaches, take a ballroom dancing lesson, fish off the pier, go paddle boarding or snorkel on a coral reef. With a reef located within 100 yards of the beach, the Town is Florida's Beach Diving Capital. Snorkelers and divers come from all over to swim from the beach to reefs alive with tropical fish, turtles and even lobsters. Anglin's Square in the Town's vibrant downtown is transformed by live music on weekends as residents and visitors alike descend upon the oceanfront plaza to dance the night away. The Town's official motto is, Relax...You're Here. Unlike surrounding cities, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea refused to allow tall condos along its beach. As a result, the community has maintained its Old Florida charm reminiscent of Florida in the 1950s.

8.9 miles away. Lauderdale-By-The-Sea is a small, seaside town just north of Fort Lauderdale. Once you arrive in this coastal community of 6,000 residents and park, you can walk just about anywhere: the beach, Anglin's Pier or the numerous shops and restaurants lining Anglin's Square, the Town's quaint oceanfront district. If you'd rather just take it easy and stare at the ocean, just sit yourself down one of the boat benches under the beach pavilion. There's plenty to do: walk along the Town's Blue Wave beaches, take a ballroom dancing lesson, fish off the pier, go paddle boarding or snorkel on a coral reef. With a reef located within 100 yards of the beach, the Town is Florida's Beach Diving Capital. Snorkelers and divers come from all over to swim from the beach to reefs alive with tropical fish, turtles and even lobsters. Anglin's Square in the Town's vibrant downtown is transformed by live music on weekends as residents and visitors alike descend upon the oceanfront plaza to dance the night away. The Town's official motto is, Relax...You're Here. Unlike surrounding cities, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea refused to allow tall condos along its beach. As a result, the community has maintained its Old Florida charm reminiscent of Florida in the 1950s.

Take a wonderful trip through time at beautiful, historic Bonnet House Museum & Gardens Be magically transported to the beginning of the 20th Century, and the days of gracious living, charm and whimsy when Florida was one of the nation’s last frontier outposts. By the time early settler Hugh Taylor Birch purchased the Bonnet House site in 1895, the grounds had already witnessed 4,000 years of Florida history. Bonnet House’s modern history began when Birch gave the Bonnet House property as a wedding gift to his daughter Helen and her husband, Chicago artist Frederic Clay Bartlett in 1919. Upon Helen’s death, Frederic’s visits to Bonnet House became sporadic until 1931 when he married Evelyn Fortune Lilly. Together they embellished Bonnet House with the decorative elements that delight visitors to this day.
