Greater Fort Lauderdale boasts 24 miles of golden sandy shores. For some adventure, head westward for an airboat into The Everglades. Trying to stay fit? Dive into the Atlantic for a swim, or enjoy a workout and healthy fare at a resort spa. Or 'follow the red brick road' of the Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk, the landscaped park, to the Arts and Entertainment District. Stop at the Stranahan House, a preserved 1900s home furnished with antiques of the era.
A trip aboard Fort Lauderdale's water taxi provides a prime view of the mansions and yachts dotting Millionaires Row. Just two miles north of Port Everglades, you can experience Fort Lauderdale's landscaped beachfront promenade, with its signature white wave wall and paved brick path, and, across the street, luxury hotelsĪlong Las Olas Boulevard, shopping, dining, and the historic districts.
From shopping on Las Olas Boulevard to gondola rides on the canals, to a historic riverfront, this is the 'Venice of America.' Fort Lauderdale is famous for its beaches, arts, culture, and events.
