Things To Do In The Ft. Lauderdale Area
Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Hollywood, Boca Raton
Florida's Gold Coast, the stretch of vacation paradise encompassed by Palm Beach and
Broward counties, seems particularly blessed by nature. From the pristine sands of Jupiter in
northern Palm Beach County to the up-tempo "Strip" in Fort Lauderdale, there are more
than 60 miles of beautiful Atlantic shoreline. Boaters love the 300 miles of Intracoastal
Waterway, as well as Fort Lauderdale's beautiful canals (Fort Lauderdale is, in fact, "The
Venice of America"). And, just a few miles inland is the unspoiled majesty of the Everglades.
Best of all, this section of Southeast Florida boasts more than 3,000 hours of annual sunshine
with which to enjoy it all! Is it any wonder, then, that nearly 9 million tourists from around the
globe visit the Gold Coast each year? Fort Lauderdale remains one of Florida's premier
gathering spots for families. The expansive beaches feature great swimming and a perfect Gulf
Stream water temperature (73 degrees).
Here is a sampling of the many things you can do in the Ft. Lauderdale Area:
