Get to know Dania Beach

Acres of wetlands and nature centers connect Dania Beach to the Atlantic Ocean. This natural state of semi-seclusion makes the beach that gives the city its name a rare stretch of Broward County sand that doesn’t get packed with people despite a packed roster of amenities. Boating culture booms on Dania's eastern, Intracoastal-facing waterfront, where you'll find kayakers plying the canals and salt marshes and larger vessels cruising in and out of their protected inland marina slips. The western portion of Dania Beach, meanwhile, has much more of a small-town feel, a vibrant community that delights in simpler pleasures — including (but not limited to) exceptional shops and restaurants. The bustling commercial hubs of Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood are minutes from Dania Beach, while farther-flung adventures await via the nearby international airport and cruise ship hub.

Living in Broward County

Florida’s second-largest county by population, Broward fills the gap between Miami and Palm Beach. Its developed portion leans almost entirely suburban, with the remaining majority of its land mass within the Everglades. The county’s namesake, Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, spent much of his gubernatorial term lobbying to reclaim the region’s wetlands for agriculture and development, finding a key ally in Teddy Roosevelt. The resulting land boom transformed Fort Lauderdale, the country seat, into a bustling resort town — a ring of suburbs incorporated soon thereafter. Today’s Broward boasts the obligatory beaches, vibrant shopping districts, and a litany of cultural attractions, along with the weather to enjoy them year-round. While it’s considered part of the greater Miami metro, the area boasts a diverse economy all its own. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has some 700 daily flights, and Port Everglades is one of the country’s busiest. Tri-Rail and Brightline offer commuters an alternative to the highway, linking population centers from Miami to Palm Beach.
