Map and Directions to Fort Lauderdale Beach, Florida

OK so you are interested in visting Fort Lauderdale Beach but aren't sure exactly how to get there.  If you live outside of Florida, your best bet is to fly into Fort Lauderale airport (FLL).  As you leave Fort Lauderdale airport, head north on US1.  There are three primary entrances into Fort Lauderdale Beach - SE 17th Street or A1A on the south side, Las Olas Boulevard in the heart of Fort Lauderdale Beach or Sunrise Boulevard on the north side.   SE 17th Street which becomes A1A is about a mile and a half north of I-595.  Heading north from the airport turn right onto SE 17th street and proceed about two and a half miles till you reach the beach.  You will cross a bridge on your way.  Las Olas Boulevard is about three miles north of I-595.  Turn right onto Las Olas Blvd and the beach is about two miles east. 

If you are driving from within Florida, take I-95 to the West Broward Blvd exit and head east about two miles till you get to Andrews Ave.  Turn right and head south a few blocks till you get to Las Olas Blvd.  Turn left onto Las Olas Blvd and head east about two and a half miles till you get to Fort Lauderdale Beach.  You will have to cross a bridge shortly before you reach the beach.
