Judge Fort Lauderdale for Yourself

They aren’t too subtle down in Fort Lauderdale – they refer to themselves as “The Venice of America” and boast of dozens of golf courses, thousands of restaurants and an ocean setting that can provide endless hours of entertainment for anyone who finds themselves in town. Does this Florida gem deliver all that it promises? It might be time for you to find out.

Upon arrival you’ll indeed notice the canals, which immediately set this town apart from many others. Use them to cruise around in on your rented yacht or just enjoy the sight of something unique as you stroll through town, enjoying the sights and deciding what to do next.

Here are some ideas, just in case you’re overwhelmed by all the choices: hop on a bike and cruise the streets at your leisure; satisfy a lifelong dream to go windsurfing; play volleyball and savor the feel of the sand beneath your toes, enjoy a meal on the patio of your spacious and comfortable vacation rental and watch the sun go down without having to worry about a thing…and that’s just one possible day of fun.

Average high temperatures range from the upper 70’s in January to 90 degrees in steamy August so you’ll most likely be escaping to a warmer place no matter where you’re coming from. This is a popular place for snowbirds and spring breakers, so keep this in mind if you want to avoid or join the crowds, but if you plan it right you can probably manage to feel perfectly content no matter when your schedule allows a visit.

Be sure to stop by Las Olas Boulevard, and not that you’ll bore of “Venice” itself, but if you have time you can meander down the shore and visit Hollywood Beach or perhaps Pompano Beach, too. The whole of Southern Florida is yours, so take advantage of all that you can while you’re here.

With the right vacation condo and eyes wide open you’ll be in the perfect position to judge for yourself whether or not the Fort Lauderdale Area is what it claims to be. It’ll be a tough job, tasting all those pina coladas and making sure that the scene is properly fun-inducing, but perhaps you can talk yourself into being the one to take on the task.
