Welcome to Harbour Inlet

Tucked off the well-trafficked thoroughfares, custom single-family homes where the Stranahan River meets the Atlantic Ocean.

Not to be confused with nearby Bal Harbour, Harbor Beach or Harbour Isles, Harbour Inlet is accessed south off Southeast 17th Street, just east of the Intracoastal Waterway. The guard-gated neighborhood is bordered west and south by the Stranahan River and east by South Ocean Drive, with roughly 100 residences, mostly fully customized single-family homes with pools and tropical landscaping along its principal road, Harbour Inlet Drive.

What to Love

  • Diverse waterfront: Canal views, river views and select ocean views within the same small neighborhood.
  • Gated amenities: Guard-gated security plus a full calendar of neighborhood events.
  • Convenience: Grocery, dining and shopping just over the bridge on Southeast 17th Street.

Local Lifestyle

Harbour Inlet's geography is unusual even by Fort Lauderdale standards, with finger islands offering private dockage, waterfront homes with their own small beaches, and expansive backyard layouts. Saint Sebastian Catholic Church sits within the neighborhood itself. A dedicated HOA publishes a neighborhood directory and organizes a calendar of events, including an annual Halloween party, Easter egg hunt and chili cook-off.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Just north of the community's gate on Southeast 17th Street, Pier Sixty-Six reopened in January 2025 after a multi-year, roughly $1 billion renovation, and now operates as a 325-room resort and marina with a dozen dining venues and its historic rotating Pier Top lounge.

Northeast of the neighborhood, within 5 minutes, is one of Fort Lauderdale Beach's liveliest stretches, including The Wreck Bar at B Ocean Resort, known for its weekly in-tank mermaid show, the Intracoastal-facing Coconuts, and the classic dive bar Elbo Room.

West along Southeast 17th Street before Federal Highway, grocery options include Publix, Winn-Dixie and Total Wine & More, alongside Southport Raw Bar, Boatyard and Carlos & Pepe's. A newer Whole Foods sits at the intersection of Southeast 17th Street and Federal Highway, with its own parking garage offering free parking.

Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park offers white sand beaches, and its Whiskey Creek Hideout has a bar, grill and kayak rentals.
