dania beach ocean park

I absolutely LOVE Dania Beach. It's a smaller, quiet and low-key. It's location close to the airport makes it great for stopping to get some sun for a couple hours before heading to the airport. I've been going to Dania Beach for years now because my grandmother lives near there! I've spent spring breaks in college on that beach (we were a mellow bunch looking for a relaxing beach spring break) to now traveling down to Florida for work often where I always try to make it stop at Dania Beach.You do you have pay for parking, but credit cards are accepted by the machines. Highly recommended!

Just spent a couple of hours at Dania Beach. When we were in Florida last year we visited the beach in Fort Lauderdale and what a difference. In Ft. Lauderdale we had to drive around for about 1/2 hour waiting for a parking space. At Dania there was plenty of parking at $2 per hour. It was not crowded and the water and beach were very clean.

Florida does a good job on their ocean parks up and down the coasts.No exception here. This one between ocean and inlet so lots of room to sun, play volleyball, and with the marina there can also look and lust at the boats. Couple of rest room facilities and so far plenty of parking...just a good place to enjoy life.

The beach was not crowded surprising as this is the snowbird time. It was clean and parking was available nearby in the lot, and it was only $1.50! The only downside was there were not bathrooms on the beach or changing rooms but they were available across the street.

Go to Fort Lauderdale Beach and don't bother with Dania Beach. I found it to be very dirty and a lot of strange people. Waste of my time and didn't feel safe there. I won't go again.

Not a pretty beach, water did not look very clean. there were lifeguards on duty. Day was too windy to swim.

we went to the beach for the day and after paying to park we found the beach. We didn't really have any gear etc so we decided to ask the lifeguard where the shops and restaurants were. This was a nice beach with parking you need to pay in advance.

More on the smaller size when comparing to FLL beaches, when looking from parking lot to water, but ample parking and a nice restaurant nearby. There is a pier nearby, which we didn't go on. But it also has a bath house, bathrooms and beach shower stands which come in very handy when spending a day at the beach.

nice quiet beach. Not a far walk from parking either. They have little covered huts too. Really nice beach if you dont want the crowds.

Great place to watch the sunrise. There are little tiki huts to sit in. Very cute! Lots of fisherman, but still very nice.

The Dania Beach park has great access and parking. It is easy to find. This beach is not crowded. When I visiited there was a lot of seaweed and other ocean trash washed up on the beach. The beach was steep in some areas down to the surf. If you like uncrowded beaches, I would recommend this one. Nice walking and relative solitude. If you are looking for pretty people to watch, you won't find them here.

Nice beach, lots of flotsam though. Parking is paid at meter an dthe parking lot is feet from the beach.Decent restaurant (the Galley) at the end of the lot.

Dania beach was very quiet with some shade available. Under the huts/trees was quite littered with garbage/cigarette butts. The parking is very expensive @ $2.00/hour.

Great diving area; we went with a diving club there for full-moon night dives, and the dive was simply beautiful. Check it out! After a day/night at the beach, check out Arubas for some good food which is on the North end of the beach.

Uma praia ótima e pouco frequentada, o que dá a ela um clima muito agradável e tranquilo. No final do píer, é possível encontrar uma pequena barreira de corais e grande variedade de peixes nadando, e você pode mergulhar só com um snorkel o que torna essa praia ainda mais legal.
