See & Do

Dania Beach is great for sports enthusiasts of every kind. The main attraction is, of course, the Dania Beach Pier. This landmark is a great spot for boatless fishing or sightseeing or even spending a pleasant afternoon. For Poker, ponies, dogs and Jai-Alai head to the very popular and impressive Dania Jai-Alai. And not to be left out, outdoor sportsmen head to the nationally popular Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World at 200 Gulfstream Way off I-95.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eat

Dania Beach dining stretches from the fabulous to fun. Locals know that it's Giorgio's Grill for an elegant evening with a delectable menu. For a great meal anytime head to Grandpa's Bakery and Restaurant. Grandpa's gained national notarity by appearing on Food Network's Diner's Drive-ins and Dives. For family fun stop at Jaxon's Ice Cream Parlor and Restaurant, known for delicious ice cream and housing one of the nation's largest collections of rural American memorabilia.

For waterfront exposure it's Jimbo's Sandbar. Relax at the Tiki bar and watch a parade of boats on the Intracoastal. The Hurricane Sports Bar & Grill for sports bar lovers is complete with games shown on big-screen TVs, pool tables and dartboards. Who could want more?

Close to Downtown Fort Lauderdale and the coast, Dania Beach is the ideal location for a great stay. Relax at the Homewood Suites Ft. Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port, conveniently located and offering surprising amenities. When business and pleasure meet, the Best Western Plus Fort Lauderdale Airport South Inn & Suites is ideal. Conduct meetings in their conference room, then go play. For Florida charm it's the Beach and Town Motel Resort for a classic relaxing visit.

With names like Akiba Antiques, Grace Cafe and Galleries and Maurizio's Antiques, it's difficult to know where to begin! But if it's not just antiques you're looking for, Dania Beach is lined with specialty boutique shops and, of course, that sportsman's dream, the popular Bass Pro Shop's Outdoor World conveniently located off I-95.
