We have been Lauderdale-by-the sea visitors for the past 7 years for scuba diving. This is a quaint, well-maintained town on the outskirts of Ft. Lauderdale, and a short drive to Pompano. The town offers several public amenities that are not often provided (outdoor showers at all beach access, very clean public restroom facilities in a couple of locations in the town, and two beach side parks). Hyatt’s beach cottage was a modest and very clean residence. She provided very thoughtful additions of snacks and toiletries. A small outside area with several native palms and trees provides for a nice place to relax outdoors. Her cottage is 3 short blocks down from beach access, and a nice walk to several local restaurants.
