Welcome to LBTS.INFO, the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Area Guide for visitors and residents.

Lauderdale by the Sea
Florida
|
|
|
Lauderdale by the Sea is a wonderful place where to spend your Florida vacation. Located on the northern part of the Fort Lauderdale beach, Lauderdale by the Sea is in the center of South Florida, which ensures warm weather even during winter, beautiful sandy golden Atlantic Ocean beach and proximity to entertainment and world class shopping and dining.
|
|
While Lauderdale by the Sea is a part of the bustling and growing Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale by the Sea maintains its unique and laid back Carribean atmosphere.
Lauderdale by the Sea has its own fishing pier and, unlike any other community in South Florida, has no high rises on its 1 mile long beach, with nearly all the buildings in town 2 stories high and none more than 4 stories high due to the town's building height restriction.
