With Fort Lauderdale to the north and Hollywood to the south, Dania Beach is somewhat lesser known than its two powerhouse neighbors, but the beaches are just as spectacular. Dania Beach is directly south of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and it borders the Anne Kolb Nature Center on the east side. Dania Beach Ocean Park provides exactly what you'd want in a tropical paradise: palm trees, white sand, and turquoise blue waves.

Since it once was part of neighboring Hollywood, today's Dania Beach is somewhat disjointed; it begins and stops in several places. But it basically begins along the Florida Turnpike and extends east to the Atlantic Ocean. Apartments in Dania Beach are ideal for anyone looking for that natural Florida feel -- the Dr. Von D Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park and the Anne Kolb Nature Center provide mangroves and natural beaches, complete with paddling trails and walking paths.
