A Splash of 🎨Color: The Lifeguard Stands of 🌴😎Fort Lauderdale Beach

Stretching along the sun-drenched shoreline of Fort Lauderdale Beach, a series of lifeguard stands has transformed from simple safety structures into a vibrant outdoor art gallery. Once plain white fixtures dotting the sand, these towers now burst with bold colors, tropical imagery, and artistic flair—capturing the spirit of South Florida in a way that feels both modern and deeply rooted in coastal culture.

From Function to Expression

Lifeguard towers have always served a vital purpose: providing elevated vantage points for trained professionals to monitor swimmers and ensure beach safety. But in Fort Lauderdale, these structures have taken on a second role—becoming visual landmarks that reflect the energy of the city itself.

In recent years, the City of Fort Lauderdale initiated a public art project that reimagined several of these towers as canvases. Local artists were invited to create mural designs that would celebrate the beauty of the coastline and the vibrancy of the surrounding community. The result is a collection of eye-catching towers that feel as dynamic as the ocean they overlook.

A Coastal Canvas

One standout contributor to this transformation is Haitian-American artist Djerlens “DJ” Chery, whose designs bring the towers to life with playful, aquatic themes. His murals feature elements like towering sandcastles, lush green palm trees, and marine life such as sea turtles, stingrays, and sailfish. These elements are not random—they reflect the natural environment and cultural identity of Fort Lauderdale, blending art with place.

Each tower tells its own story. Some evoke the calm rhythm of the ocean through cool blues and flowing shapes, while others radiate warmth with bright yellows, pinks, and oranges reminiscent of a South Florida sunset. Together, they create a cohesive yet diverse visual experience along the beach.

Reflecting the Spirit of South Florida

The vibrant lifeguard stands are more than just decorative—they symbolize the creativity, diversity, and optimism that define Fort Lauderdale. In a region known for its sunshine and coastal lifestyle, these towers stand as cheerful beacons, merging safety with style.

As more towers are considered for artistic redesign, the beach continues to evolve into a destination where public art enhances everyday experiences. Whether you’re walking along the shore at sunrise or watching the sky turn gold at dusk, these colorful lifeguard stands remind visitors that even the most practical structures can become something extraordinary.
