Fort Lauderdale Fun: Explore the Venice of America
Fort Lauderdale, located along Florida's Southeastern Coast (aka Gold Coast), is known as a popular hub for entertainment and outdoor recreation — most of it in or by the water. Fort Lauderdale is a yachting destination, with over 40,000 pleasure ships nearby. With the Intracoastal Waterway, this city is a haven for aquatic sports, with an intricate labyrinth of 300 miles of canals and rivers that form its distinct culture, lending it the nickname “Venice of America.”
Downtown, notably Las Olas Boulevard, exudes an upscale vibe with boutiques, restaurants and cultural institutions. There are great places to go, including the Hollywood Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, beautiful beaches and world-class dive sites. The Fort Lauderdale area also features numerous LGBT+ attractions and a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere, particularly in the nearby enclave of Wilton Manors.
