People always like to gather around a focal point on the beach,
and Florid's lack of dramatic geology means that a pier is about the
closest we get to focal point. The Dania Pier is a solid concredt
structure that juts out into the very clear blue-green waters of
south Florida's Atlantic coast, a short drive north of Hollywood
Beach. Sure, it's great for fishing, but with plenty of parking it
attracts lots of beachgoers.
To get here, take Dania Beach
Blvd east toward the beach. When you come off the Blvd, follow the
sign that directs you to bear right to Dania Beach. If you are
coming north on A1A from
Hollywood Beach, you'll need to turn right on N. 4th Terrace,
which is just before you go under the overpass. If you go under the
overpass you've gone too far. It's an easy turn to miss.
For
those with physical challenges Dania Beach gets
high marks for being easily accessible on the "diz-abled.com"
web site. I don't know whether they have beach wheel chairs.
There is a restaurant on the pier and another one situated within
the parking area.
