Manager's Message
One of the world's largest sand traps is not even on a golf course. At John U.
Lloyd Beach State Park, our rangers and volunteers are busy building a sand trap
that will form a bulwark against raging tides. They are using sea oats to create
a natural sand trap. These hardy, salt tolerant plants collect sand to bulk up
dunes, provide habitat for coastal critters and even inhibit hurricane storm
surges. Please contact Park Services Specialist Carmelo Duesler if you would
like to be a part of this beach building effort.
On behalf of the park, and our entire staff, I would like to extend an
invitation for you to enjoy some real fun in "…the real Florida" at John U.
Lloyd Beach State Park!
- Sid Leve, Park Manager
Welcome to John U. Lloyd Beach State Park
Perfect for a day at the beach or a family picnic, this park provides an
abundance of recreational activities. Fishing from the rock jetties, surf
casting, canoeing, swimming, nature study, boating, and picnicking will keep the
whole family busy. For those interested in South Florida's underwater beauty,
Lloyd Beach has one of the easiest and most interesting shore dives in the area.
The park has two boat ramps with easy access to the ocean through the Port
Everglades Inlet, which will please those who prefer to fish in open water. The
mangrove-lined waterway is a scenic place to canoe, observe bird life, and take
photographs. At the Loggerhead Café, visitors can have a leisurely lunch or grab
a quick snack. A variety of items are available for rental: canoes, kayaks,
paddleboats, sailboats, pontoon boats, gazebos, barbecue grills, and
volleyballs. Located north of Hollywood, off A1A.
