Founded in 1947 this tiny town of Lauderdale by the Sea is just charming. Located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal waterway, from just south of Commercial Boulevard, to just north of Commercial Boulevard, is this timeless enclave of only a little over 7,700 people, of which less than half are full time residents. Many of the residents are also owners of small hotels and motels that make up the majority of the accommodations for this long time tourist destination. The land area encompasses only about a half of a square mile. There are building restrictions that prohibit buildings over certain heights in the Lauderdale by the Sea area, that help to retain the small town ambiance and charm that attract many visitors and locals alike year after year.
At the center of the town is Pelican Square, with many wonderful merchants, among them are unique gift shops, ice cream shops, restaurants, boutiques, and of course, Anglins Fishing Pier. (Closed at present due to storm damage) Lauderdale by the Sea is a favorite place for locals to come and take an evening stroll along the oceanside sidewalk that stretches from almost the north to the south end of the town.
There is a fabulous live reef just off shore about 100 yards which makes this beach one of the favorites of the local scuba divers and snorkelers. Shore diving here is amazing, and so convenient. Fishermen and fisherwomen enjoy a nice day at Anglins Fishing Pier, catching local fare such as Red Snapper, Snook (only in season please..), and many other delicious favorites.
