All About Fort Lauderdale
Not all Florida towns are chockablock full of T-shirt shops and Spring Breakers. Fort Lauderdale dabbles in the luxe side of life, while still offering old-fashioned fun in the sun.
Known as the "Venice of America," the city was built on 300 miles of canals, which connect to the Intracoastal Waterway attracting yachters in spades. Don't have yacht? Book a Fort Lauderdale vacation package instead and take a gondola tour of the city's waterways. The main attraction is Millionaire's Row, where you can ogle celebrity homes.
The bright spot of your Fort Lauderdale vacation will be the pristine shores. The city boasts 23 miles of Blue Wave Beaches, the gold standard from the Clean Beaches Council. Spend your days parasailing above the surf, cruising on a catamaran, or building sand castles. And nature lovers must try a side-trip to the Everglades for airboat rides past alligators.
Next, stretch your sea legs on shore. Shop till you drop to snatch up steep savings or find the latest must-have looks. After working up an appetite with a little retail therapy, indulge in a mouth-watering meal at a glitzy restaurant and be sure to try the region's fresh-from-the-sea delicacies.
