Lauderdale-by-the-sea: the shore dive capital of South Florida. One of the best shore snorkeling and diving places in Florida is near the end of the Anglin's pier (the south side). We usually go to get this reef from Datura ave (one block south off Commercial blvd.) Stay 300 feet away from the pier. This reef has plenty of fish: Black Margate, Spadefish, various Snapper, Angelfish, Damsels, Wrasses, Parrotfish, Nurse Sharks, Butterflyfish, Sergeant Majors, Sea Turtle, Cuttlefish, Barracuda, Trumpet Fish, French Angels, Blue Angels,Doctorfish, Blue Headed Wrasse, Tarpon.etc. Also there are couple of artificial coral reefs - just go little south from end of the pier. Please, don't fish! If you have mask and snorkel it's good enough to just observe the beautiful wildlife on the reef and don't touch anything!
