Fort Lauderdale Beach

Fort Lauderdale is well-known for its beaches, as well as its arts, culture, and special events. This is the "Venice of America," offering everything from shopping on Las Olas Boulevard to gondola rides on the canals to a historic riverside.

Just two miles north of Port Everglades, you'll find Fort Lauderdale's planted beachfront promenade, complete with its iconic white wave wall and paved brick path, as well as luxury hotels just across the street from the beach.

Explore the shopping and eating options along Las Olas Boulevard, as well as the city's historic areas. Traveling a water taxi down Fort Lauderdale's Millionaires Row gives a spectacular view of the homes and yachts that line the waterfront.

The Stranahan House, a restored 1900s residence decorated with antiques from the era, is well worth a visit. To get to the Arts and Entertainment District, you can either "follow the red brick path" of the Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk, which is a beautiful park.

Trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle? Taking a dip in the Atlantic Ocean, or getting a workout and nutritious meal at a resort spa, is a great idea. If you're looking for a little excitement, travel westward to take an airboat into The Everglades.
