Step into the serene beauty of Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park, previously known as John U. Lloyd Beach State Park. Nestled just south of Port Everglades, this coastal oasis remains a pristine example of untouched natural splendor in Broward County. Honoring civil rights icons who bravely led protests to integrate South Florida beaches, this park stands as a testament to their courageous actions. Originally designated as a “colored beach” and nearly succumbing to development, it was rescued and transformed into a paradise for beachgoers seeking refuge from the city’s chaos. From swimming and fishing to hiking and picnicking, this park offers a sanctuary where everyone can unwind and reconnect with the beauty of the outdoors.
