Fort Lauderdale is located at approximately 40 driving minutes from Miami Beach. Ft. Lauderdale is an exclusive and rich city, and a major tourist destination in South Florida. Cruising throughout its many canals, tourists are literally astounded by the size and beauty of its mansions. Miami’s mansions sometimes look like modest homes compared to Fort Lauderdale’s. Visiting Fort Lauderdale from the water is definitely a must; it is like visiting the new Italian Venice. A striking feature of Fort Lauderdale is its superb unobstructed boardwalk and its immaculate white sandy beaches.
Having lunch or dinner in one of the boardwalk’s numerous restaurants is an incomparable experience. Roller skaters, joggers or simply beach goers are sharing this great boardwalk. The beach offers plenty of water activities like surfing, windsurfing, sailing, parasailing, jet ski, fishing, boating. Visitors that wish to have a more cultural afternoon will head to Las Olas Boulevard.
