What's going on in beautiful Ft Lauderdale, Florida?
Beaches
Warm your toes in the golden sands of Greater Fort Lauderdale's 23 miles
of sun-kissed beaches - an easy walk from many of our hotels, restaurants and activities.
There's no better way to relax, refresh, renew and reconnect. Enjoy a day of fun in the
sun and swimming in the warm Atlantic waters. Greater Fort Lauderdale wants you to enjoy
our Blue Wave beaches safely.
Arts & Entertainment
Plunge into a culture as deep as the ocean which frames us. A culture characterized by
Seminoles and Broadway shows. Tasty jazz and art festivals. And like the horizon here,
the list goes on and on and on. Be sure to check out the concert schedules at the Broward
Center for the Performing Arts in the downtown Riverwalk Arts & Entertainment District,
Hard Rock Live in Hollywood and the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise.
Shopping
Discover the convenience and the value of shopping in everything from boutiques to
department stores in Greater Fort Lauderdale. There are special shopping tours for
groups and local shuttle buses from the beach. And, most hotels provide easy access
to major shopping centers for car-less travelers. You can even shop at The Galleria by
Water Taxi. Sawgrass Mills, the world's largest discount and entertainment mall, the
Swap Shop, South's largest flea market, and Festival Flea Market, a quarter-mile long
shopper's paradise, are just a few of the venues to begin your retail therapy.
Translated "the waves" in Spanish, Las Olas Blvd. is known as Greater Fort Lauderdale's
"style mile," lined with independently owned boutiques, a restaurant row with acclaimed
chefs, and ively lounges and cafes with sidewalk seating. Las Olas also is the starting
point for canal tours in authentic, Italian gondolas, as well as a major stop along
Greater Fort Lauderdale's Water Taxi system.
Night Life
Relax and unwind at a local wine bar, or dance it up with martinis and heart-pumping music.
Catch the game with friends at a sports bar or laugh the night away at a comedy club.
Bring your cowboy hat and boots for a country/western night out at the saloon, or feel
the passionate and energetic vibe (and maybe even learn to salsa!) of Latin-inspired nightlife.
Golf
Lush links and loads of courses combined with easy accessibility, comparatively low green fees,
unmatched settings and year-round play make Greater Fort Lauderdale a hole-in-one for golfers.
More than 40 courses offer options for players of all skill levels and include exclusive private
clubs, premier municipal facilities maintained to the highest standards, and resort courses
designed by luminaries such as Joe Lee, Bruce Devlin, Robert von Hagge, Rees Jones, Raymond
Floyd, Robert Trent Jones, and Tom and George Fazio.
