Guide Details
Water, Water Everywhere
Fort Lauderdale is defined by its extensive network of canals.
Why it's a great stop:
- The Canals: Take a Water Taxi to see the "Millionaire's Row" of yachts and mansions.
- Las Olas Boulevard: A charming street for high-end shopping and diverse dining.
- Beachfront: A wide, scenic promenade that's great for walking or biking.
Planning Notes
The Water Taxi
It's not just transport; it's a narrated tour. Get an all-day pass for the best value.
Miami Proximity
Only 30-45 minutes north of Miami, making it a great alternative base with slightly lower hotel prices.
Relaxing Stop
Hugh Taylor Birch State Park
An oasis of green between the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Great for renting kayaks or a quiet walk.
