Awesome beach! Not extremely crowded besides holiday weekend. The only drawback to this strip of the beach is no public restroom. Makes no sense for there not to be multiple spots considering how many people visit this beach on a yearly basis. City of Ft Lauderdale can do better.

This is a small but adequate area for your dog to sniff around and poop peacefully. Quiet. Clean. Picnic table and a couple of benches. Plenty of parking. No facilities.
