Arriving in Fort Lauderdale

The soft white sands of Fort Lauderdale’s beaches have a reputation for being the best in Florida, which is really saying something in a state primarily known for its beaches. Less crowded, less flashy, more affordable and more laid back than some of Florida’s better-known vacation spots, Fort Lauderdale offers something a little off the beaten track. For years it suffered under the reputation of being primarily a spring-break spot, but while you’ll still see the occasional gang of rowdy students, this city is continually growing more sophisticated and upmarket.

The shopping is excellent, and the dining (especially seafood) is spectacular. The warm tropical weather and the gorgeous coastline mean that the best use of your time here is usually just lounging by the water, but there’s plenty more to do if you’re feeling adventurous. Snorkeling and deep-sea fishing are popular pursuits, and if you’re willing to travel a little ways inland, an Everglades tour will bring you up close and personal with some of Florida’s wildest residents.
