Dania Beach

Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park, formerly John U. Lloyd Beach State Park, is at 6503 N. Ocean Drive in Dania Beach, just south of Port Everglades. Florida State Parks calls it the last example of an undeveloped coastal ecosystem in Broward County. It covers 310 acres between the ocean and the Intracoastal.

The park is named for civil rights leaders who led "wade-in" protests to desegregate South Florida beaches. Dr. Mizell, founding president of the Broward NAACP, petitioned for a beach for Black residents in 1946, and NAACP chapter president Eula Johnson led a famous wade-in on July 4, 1961. The former "colored beach" became a state park in 1973, and the new name took effect in 2016.

The state lists swimming, fishing, boating, paddling, snorkeling, birding and picnicking, plus a boat ramp, a nature trail and the mangrove-lined Whiskey Creek.

As of Nov. 9, 2026, Florida State Parks posts that, effective Oct. 29, 2026, beach access from Parking Lot 5 and the Jetty Parking Lot, which include the Pelican, Sea Grape and Jetty pavilions, is closed until further notice due to erosion from king tides. Closures posted in March 2026, including beach access from parking lot 3, are also still listed.

Programs, access and conditions change. Please check current details with Florida State Parks before you go.
