Playa Sebastian Street

Gay friendly section of the beach

I love going to this beach because it has beautiful white sand. I prefer to go at night when there's alot less people. If you go during the day, it's flocked with tourists and visitors. Don't forget your sun tan lotion!

Great beach to lounge and enjoy the amazing January Florida weather. Note that renting chairs and umbrellas is very expensive. Between $50 and $75. So bring your own if you can. Also, where are the public restrooms??? Couldn’t find any… otherwise, very enjoyable and a great LGBTQ friendly beach.

Beautiful beach

Great beach local.

Beautiful beach, low key, and close to eateries and hotels. I would 100% stay near this location again... and go back to the beach without hesitation.

Sun and fun.

Excellent location and very nice people

Great beach, lots of community, simple and fun

A very nice, spacious beach, not crowded in September, making it more peaceful for swimming. There's a parking lot that you can pay for at the machines or with the app.

Sebastian Street Beach is one of my favorite spots in Fort Lauderdale! The beach is always clean, with soft sand and clear water that’s perfect for swimming. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and it’s known for being very friendly and inclusive, which makes it a comfortable place for everyone. Lifeguards are usually on duty and attentive, so you feel safe even if the beach gets busy. What I also love is the location — right in the heart of Fort Lauderdale Beach, so you can easily grab a coffee, snack, or cocktail from nearby restaurants and bars and come back to the water. Parking can be a bit tricky on weekends, but it’s manageable if you come early. The vibe is fun, social, and easygoing, with lots of people just enjoying the sun and the ocean. Overall, it’s a fantastic beach to spend the day, whether you’re alone, with friends, or visiting as a couple. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in Fort Lauderdale! 🌴☀️🌊
