Known as "Florida's Beach Diving Capital," Lauderdale-by-the-Sea offers three living coral reefs just 100 yards from shore — accessible without a boat. The 2.5 miles of smooth, latte-colored sandy beaches have an old-Florida charm with no high-rises, and the reefs teem with tropical fish, spiny lobsters, and moray eels at depths of 10-25 feet. History buffs can explore the wreck of the SS Copenhagen, an 1900 steamship now on the National Register of Historic Places, via the Shipwreck Snorkel Trail.
