Emerson Court’s guidebook to Fort Lauderdale
Sightseeing, Beaches & Shopping
Great location to kayak with the manatees or rent a boat for the day and stop here to chill out. Beach the boat on the intracoastal side and walk across the bluff to swim in the gorgeous Atlantic Ocean. Bring a picnic lunch for the boat or grab a bite at the small beachside restaurant. This is one of our favorite spots.

This beachside park, just south of Port Everglades, is the last example of an undeveloped coastal ecosystem in Broward County.
The park is named for Civil Rights Movement leaders who led “wade-in” protests to desegregate South Florida beaches in the 1950s and 1960s. It was once the county’s designated “colored beach” and bore the name of the Broward County attorney who was instrumental in transferring ownership of the land to the state, in lieu of being developed for residential high-rises.
Now, the park is a popular location for swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, bicycling and picnicking, offering a haven where everyone can escape the hectic pace of the metropolis and reconnect with nature.
