![Exercise Scenery Video - Croissant Park Elementary School to Fort Lauderdale Beach. [40 minute ride]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jF2F0Pqqw0E/0.jpg "You really can ride from Croissant Park to the beach via SW 17th... but you don't actually do much of it on SW 17th after you get to US-1.
After you cross US 1 go north one block and turn right [at the McDonalds]. You can find safe back roads all the way to 17th St Bridge.
And if you cut through the guard gates at Harbor Beach you can have a safe \"rich people islands\" [lol] safe street with little left of 17th to get to the beach.
Ride safe and enjoy!
