Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a charming seaside oasis on the eastern edge of Broward County, located in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale-Pompano Beach metro area. Nestled between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a town of only 1.5 square miles on a barrier island, just seven feet above sea level. Dubbed "The Prettiest Small Town in America," Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is home to panoramic ocean views, warm tropical trade winds, a beautiful pier and quaint downtown shops. The town sits less than 10 miles north of Ft. Lauderdale, but is worlds apart from the hubbub of the city.

Nearly 5,900 full-time residents call Lauderdale-by-the-Sea town home, enjoying an average temperature of 76 degrees and beckoning outdoor activities in the sunshine. For water lovers, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea provides an unparalleled snorkel trail and coral reef within 100 yards of the beach, allowing undersea views of live coral reefs, colorful fish and spiny lobsters. Anglins Pier extends 876 feet over the ocean, offering stunning views of the shoreline and horizon. Recreational activities abound as south Florida residents are afforded exceptional weather, close proximity to major industries and the culture of Miami and Ft. Lauderdale while still providing seaside charm.

Without the skyscraping condominiums crowding the beach like the nearby metro cityscapes, the downtown district keeps buildings under four stories tall to allow for a more laid-back beach town. Whether it is relaxing on white sandy beaches, playing sports in the parks, golf, miles of trophy-class sport fishing or underwater adventure in the snorkel trails, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea presents an ideal location to live, work and play.
