Pursuant to City of Fort Lauderdale Ordinance C-19-03, Sec. 8-55.5, beach property is defined as the area between the water line and the westernmost sidewalk of State Road A1A within the City of Fort Lauderdale.
Even though public urination and marijuana use did not make their list, it is prohibited. So, just don't do it!
Law enforcement's message is clear, "Come for vacation, don't leave on probation."
Any violation of any of these ordinances may result in arrest or the issuance of a Notice to Appear before a judge.
