It’s Up to you during a Fort Lauderdale Area Vacation

Strolling down Las Olas Boulevard or hopping aboard a yacht with nowhere to go and all day to get there are a couple of ways to spend a sunny afternoon in the Fort Lauderdale Area. This isn’t just a place for spring break revelry, nor is it one-dimensional in its beach beauty; the “Venice of America” offers a world of diversions as well as the delightful option to do nothing at all.

The famed Riverwalk shows off the natural beauty of the region, complete with friendly beaches and butterfly gardens, and picking up a meal, a cappuccino or a souvenir at one of the shops along the way will complete the charmed experience. The shoreline can either be used as a jumping off point for adventure or it can be the spot of a nice leisurely nap, picnic or volleyball game. Picking a vacation condo or beach house in Fort Lauderdale or nearby Hollywood Beach or Pompano Beach will open the door to days filled with whatever you like.

Southern Florida has more than just a pretty face; arts lovers will find the means to enjoy theatre, films and music at a number of indoor and outdoor venues while historical centers and the interactive science museum will satisfy those who like to balance leisure with learning. Several parks are also on hand for when it becomes necessary to stop and appreciate the fine weather (average highs range from 68 in January to 82 in August), including Holiday Park and Birch State Park. Get some exercise by walking, jogging, biking or canoeing and don’t forget the binoculars because there is some fine bird watching to be had.

You’ll soon see for yourself that Fort Lauderdale is more than just a party destination, so stop by any time of the year, bring the family, and enjoy the freeing feeling of abandoning all misconceptions.
