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.
