Fun Stuff to Do During Your Fort Lauderdale Vacation
If you want a vacation, consider the bright sunny city of Fort Lauderdale. In fact, if warm sunshine, sandy beaches, clear blue water, and some of the most amazing attractions and restaurants are what you seek, there is no better place to visit.
First, there is the shopping in Fort Lauderdale. The stores are everywhere and you will quickly discover every conceivable kind of store from fashionable department stores to small specialty boutiques. The weather helps here, too. Sure, there is the beautiful Galleria Mall, filled with name stores and restaurants, but there is also Las Olas Boulevard, a shaded, flowering strip of genteel beauty. Add in the Sawgrass Mills Mall, a designer outlet mall with 250 stores selling discounted designer wares, and you have the perfect shopping adventure just waiting for you. If you enjoy extra bargains, you will also find that Fort Lauderdale has an 88-acre flea market that is open every day of the year.
Perhaps, though you would prefer to start with some golf. In Fort Lauderdale, you can live out your golf fantasy and play every day on a different course for two months before you would have to repeat yourself. Only in Fort Lauderdale can you pick your course by when you want to tee off. However, if you are in Fort Lauderdale, a trip to the beach is not optional. The beaches are incredible and lined with perfect white sand, kept gorgeous by the city. Because it so rarely rains in Fort Lauderdale, you will be able to enjoy the beaches almost every day of the year. In fact, the city just completed a $26 million investment in beachfront improvements. They installed a new, paved walkway, new lighting, landscaping, and a sea wall with neon lit accents.
Shopping, playing in the water, and walking along the Riverwalk are great ways to work up an appetite. Thankfully, everywhere in Fort Lauderdale there are wonderful restaurants, some work from the Cuban presence so strong to the north in Miami, and of course, to the south in Havana. There is also the cuisine of the South, from the smothered dishes and jerked meats of Georgia to the po' boys and blackened fish so popular in New Orleans. Fort Lauderdale is an International city, and Continental cuisine is the real backbone of any great city where people love to eat. Therefore, every meal is enjoyable, delicious, and unique. The sooner you get to Fort Lauderdale, the better. This is truly an amazing city filled with wonderful things to do and see, and some of the nicest people in the world!
