The reef off Anglin's Fishing Pier in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is one of Florida's most famous beach dives, with two ledgy nearshore reef lines starting roughly 100 yards off the sand in 10-22 ft of water. The town brands itself the 'Shore Diving Capital of South Florida,' and the Datura Avenue/Commercial Blvd entries give easy access to coral ledges packed with tropicals, lobster and the occasional turtle or nurse shark. Note that the pier itself partially collapsed in Hurricane Nicole (2022) and remains fenced off, with rebuilding not expected before about 2028 — dive the reef, not the pier.
