Hallandale Beach is conveniently located between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, next to Aventura with access to the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood and Miami International airports, Port Everglades, Port of Miami, and I-95. The city is named after Luther Halland, a worker for Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railroad.
The city is best known as the home of the Gulfstream Park horse racing track, which hosts the Florida Derby. It also has a sizable financial district, with offices for a number of banks and brokerage houses. Sometimes referred to in jest as the "southernmost Canadian city," Hallandale Beach has been a popular vacation destination for decades, and most of the tourists come from Quebec and the Northeastern United States. Throughout the decades, a significant number of these tourists eventually retire to the area, and become residents of Hallandale Beach where you can find some of the most spectacular oceanfront condominiums like The Beach Club and 2080 Ocean Drive. |
