Fort Lauderdale Dog Beach

No permit necessary. Check dog beach hours and only on Fri, Sat &Sun. Only one section of the beach.

The beach does not close, nothing more than those days you can not take your pet.

All the beaches are really dog friendly as long as you have your dog on a leash clean up after your dog and your dog is well behaved we walked for miles down the beach with our dog had no problem we was there all day long sunrise to sunset there's pretty much signs all along Fort Lauderdale beaches from top to bottom that say dogs permitted on beach as long as you pick up leave no trace your dog is well-behaved and your dog is on a leash no longer than 8 ft I was just there for 10 days about a week ago we walked for Miles up and down the beach scene lifeguards had no problems whatsoever and we had a German Shepherd

It is a very busy beach. Lots of people and pets there daily. I would look for a smaller and less crowded beach for traumatized dog like yours. I feel it would be very stressful for your dog. Best of luck .

Allowed? Not sure about that but there are plenty of people who do crash on the beach, mostly those without any other means. I might have "boondocked" once or twice but def not recommended

NO! It is posted that dogs must be on a leash. Enforcement has been lax since covid, but the rules haven't changed.

It's a public beach it's open every day

There is no charge to bring your dog. Just take good care of it and the environment. Clean up and keep control.

The dog beach is between Lifeguard towers 14 & 15 on Friday, Saturday & Sunday afternoons/early evening. There is a city Park Ranger that collects the daily use fee and provides information on how to get a yearly pass.

Be on a leash and clean after Him .

Yes

Yes you can, if I remember correctly there are plenty of places throughout the park to launch from. Enjoy your beautiful time, we hope nature shows herself fully while y'all are on the water!

No age restrictions

Yes but make sure it is the dog beach portion of the beach. congratulations btw!
