Dania Beach Pier has a coral reef running outside the pier where good winter and hurricane swells send powerful lefts reeling back toward the pilings, with some rights breaking against the grain. Surfing is restricted on the north side; south side permitted but not too close to the pier. The dual sand-and-reef bottom gives it more character than pure beach breaks in the area.
