Amenity highlights: Rare in Florida, the 75-yard-deep, 650-foot-long beach fronting the resort is privately owned, supplying room for quiet sunbathing on lounge chairs and shaded reading under individual, tentlike cabanas. Just 100 yards offshore, the easily accessible reef makes Lauderdale-by-the-Sea one of Florida's principal snorkeling and scuba-diving destinations. (The resort includes a complete diving center.) Five of the resort's six buildings include a good-size pool in a palm-lined courtyard that also contains a gas-fired grill for outdoor cooking.

Insider tip: About 100 yards down the beach, a wood pier jutting far into the ocean provides fishing and night-shrimping opportunities. Fishing equipment is available for rent. (A fee is charged to use the pier.)
