DRIVING DIRECTIONS
Please note that the direct entrance to the North Parking Lot is open Saturday and Sunday, but closed Monday through Friday. During the week, enter at the Haulover North Marina (boat ramp) entrance immediately south to access the North Parking Lot. (See first map at right.) If this parking lot is full, you will be directed to Parking Lot #1, the next entrance south.
From the North:
Take Interstate 95 south to Ives Dairy Road, which is 8 miles south
of Interstate 595 & the Ft. Lauderdale airport. At Ives Dairy Road, exit and go east 1.2 miles to
US-1. Turn right (south) onto US-1. Move into the left-hand lane, because
in 0.6 miles you will need to turn left (east) onto SR 856, William
Lehman Causeway. (However, be careful to avoid the left turn lanes into the Aventura Mall before the causeway turn.)
Go east 1.6 miles and exit south onto A1A. Go 1.6 miles
to SR 826 and continue south underneath the overpass. In 0.8 miles you
will just barely notice the signs on the right for North Beach
Parking, the first parking lot in the park.
[Some may prefer the simpler route of taking US-1 farther south to SR 826 and
then heading east. This avoids the need to cross 4 lanes of mall-bound traffic in 0.6 miles
to make the Lehman Causeway turn; the advantage of the causeway route is that it
is a high overpass with no drawbridge over the Intracoastal. In any case, if
you miss the causeway turn, just keep going south to SR 826 and turn left.]
From the South:
Take I-95 or US-1 north to NW 125 Street (Route 922) and go east across Broad Causeway
(50 cent toll) to Collins Ave (AIA). Then turn left (north) onto Collins
Ave. In about a mile you will go over the bridge over Baker's Haulover
Cut. Proceed about 1.4 miles over the bridge, past the marina, golf
course and boat dock, to the North Beach Parking lot
on the left at the far north end of the park.
