Fort Lauderdale Attractions, Things To Do & Area Info
Fort Lauderdale lies along the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the
New River, 25 miles north of Miami. Its warm tropical weather
attracts many people throughout the year. For sun-worshippers, the
city has six miles of beaches. There are also many recreational
waterways with extensive boating facilities, access to every
conceivable watersport, a variety of fascinating museums and trendy
restaurants and an array of entertainment venues.
The One Thing You Don't Want to Miss
People have been flocking to Fort Lauderdale's beaches for
decades. And with good reason. Fort Lauderdale Beach is a two-mile
strip of beautiful beach featuring the recently renovated Promenade,
which offers all sorts of bars, restaurants and shops.
Other Fun Things to Do
Take a 30-minute airboat ride across the Everglades, one of the most
breathtaking natural areas in America. Discover a variety of fish
and birds that inhabit the area, and perhaps see the most famous
Everglades inhabitant - the alligator. Enjoy Sawgrass Reptile
Exhibit after your ride and take the opportunity to touch or
possibly hold a small alligator. Discover the replica of a Seminole
Indian village. See tropical birds, rare snakes, and even the
endangered Florida panther.
Take a narrated drive through Port Everglades over the Intercoastal
Waterway and along the famous Fort Lauderdale Beach. Explore the
International Swimming Hall of Fame, Las Olas Boulevard, the
Riverwalk area and more. Stop and see Esplanade Park, the crossroads
of the Center for Performing Arts and the Museum of Discovery and
Science. Take a 90-minute Intercoastal Waterway cruise, and hear a
lively commentary from the boat's captain on the history of the New
River and Fort Lauderdale's historic sites.Get a Taste of
Local Flavor
Fish is fresh and delicious in Florida. Grouper is probably the most
popular choice and is served almost any way imaginable. You'll find
it fried, broiled, sautéed, and even served with pasta. But a true
Floridian staple is a fresh grouper sandwich and fries eaten outside
by the water. It's hard to beat this old standby.
