Explore Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale is famous for its beaches, arts, culture, and events. From shopping on Las Olas Boulevard to gondola rides on the canals, to a historic riverfront, this is the "Venice of America." Fort Lauderdale Beach is a seven-mile stretch of white sand and crystal blue ocean where you can enjoy swimming, jet skiing, snorkeling, paddle boarding, sunbathing, and more without ever running out of things to do. The Fort Lauderdale Beachfront promenade has scenic walking and biking paths lined with palm trees and benches along the ocean, making it the perfect spot to stop for a little sightseeing or indulge in some ice cream.

You can’t go to downtown Fort Lauderdale without taking a stroll down Las Olas Boulevard. Shopping along Las Olas is one of the top things to do in Fort Lauderdale. Swanky stores, boutique shops, and fine dining restaurants line this manicured street near the ocean.
