Lauderdale By The Sea

With just over 6,000 residents, Lauderdale-­by-­the-­Sea sits in Broward County between Fort Lauderdale and Sea Ranch Lakes. Tourism represents the town’s main industry, and visitors to the area take advantage of Lauderdale-­By-­The-­Sea’s many hotels, motels, and residences, especially during winter. The town itself is actually a long, narrow island suspended in the Intracoastal Waterway and is accessible by drawbridges only.
