Full Article:
Ft. Lauderdale Beach is a narrow, long area of sand on the Atlantic side of Florida. It’s an area that is easy to travel to with an international airport 20 minutes from the beach. The hotels are across the street from the main beach area, which gives easier access, and a less touristy feel. Sidewalks are everywhere, and I noticed quite a few signs for “service animal relief centers”. The pace in Ft. Lauderdale seems more laid back, and chilled than many other beach locations. There is a water taxi, lots of local tours on the water, tons of dining and shopping options (think Los Olas) and more.
Beyond the beach, Ft. Lauderdale is also a cruise port. Many ships sail out of Port Everglades, so people fly into FLL the day before hand. If smaller boats, and perhaps some fishing is more your style, there are a number of charter boats and catamarans ready to be rented for the day. Fresh seafood is abundantly available at wonderful dining spots like the Fisheries.
Come visit the “sunny” side of life in Ft. Lauderdale.
