FORT LAUDERDALE VACATION
Fun and Sun in Fort Lauderdale
by Caitlin Moore
Broward County doesn't exactly have a sterling reputation when it
comes to politics, but voting, candidate wars and matters of the state
are the kinds of things that people forget about while on vacation. This
means that in a pretty, party-filled pleasure land like Fort Lauderdale
it's okay to get lost in the shuffle of leisure-seekers, and doing so is
easy thanks to the bountiful diversions available here.
Fort Lauderdale resembles Venice, Italy in a sunny, American kind of
way thanks to the canal system that characterizes the landscape. It
also has a healthy does of energy thanks to all the beach-themed
revelry, fine weather and nightclubs that appear around every corner.
In other words, if a vacation of peace, quiet and solitude is what you
seek, this isn't the place for you. It's not exactly spring break city,
either, but it is a destination that knows how to have a good time, day
or night.
A couple dozen miles of breathtaking beach gives Fort Lauderdale the
right to place itself among the holiday destination elite, especially
when the promenades, palm trees, and pedestrian-friendly
boardwalks are taken into account. Whether you jog, rollerblade, or
walk barefoot, there's a place that will allow fabulous views of the
coastline - not to mention the other revelers who have come here in
search of relaxation and relief.
Hollywood Beach is known for attracting a crowd, as self-styled
entertainers often come here to give the public a free show. Pompano
Beach is more family-oriented and also hosts annual fishing events
thanks to its prize-winning waters. The treasures of the ocean are a
big part of Fort Lauderdale's identity, in fact, and piers and marinas
can be found up and down the sandy stretches. By the way, these
beaches are designated Blue Wave, meaning they are healthy, clean
and swimmable.
Downtown Fort Lauderdale holds a whole other bevy of distractions
and delights, including a Museum of Art, the Florida Grand Opera, the
Museum of Science and Discovery, and Old Fort Lauderdale Village
and Museum. Shopping, music, theatre and outdoor dining round out
this hotbed of activities and tend to keep visitors stimulated at every
moment. Eyes, ears, brains and taste buds will all be attended to
during a visit to downtown. From the largest flea market in South
Florida to Broadway shows, Fort Lauderdale delivers the goods.
Sports enthusiasts will be in heaven here, whether playing or
watching there are games of all kinds to be appreciated. Of course
there are tons of golf courses - this is Florida, after all. In addition to
these standbys there's also ice hockey, baseball training, tennis
courts, Jai Alai and any number of professional events. Lots of
sunshine and warm weather tends to make throwing, hitting, and
kicking various objects the most fun and engaging thing possible,
and even watching others do it is especially thrilling here. If a place
could be designed to perfectly contain all things sports related, it
would look exactly like Fort Lauderdale.
Located in that magical place known as the Everglades, an
environment teeming with wildlife unknown to other parts of the
country, this region has plenty of ways to take advantage of the vast
natural offerings. Marshland eco-tours, kayaking, hiking and bird
watching are excellent methods to become acquainted with the
scene, and in some parts bikes and segways are also a hit. No
matter which route beckons to you, there's a rental or guide
establishment that will set up you and your companions for a
successful and adventurous day in this fertile and unique set of
conditions.
When the sun goes down it's time to change things up a bit. Trade in
the sunglasses and comfortable shoes for flashier duds as you make
your way from club to club. Jazz, comedy, blues and more allow all
tastes to be satisfied, so find a cozy corner for a little romance with
your partner or hit the dance floor and make new friends. It's all good
here, as you'll soon see.
Top it all off by staying in accommodations that are as pleasing and
slightly unconventional as this entire trip. Fort Lauderdale Vacation
Rentals bring out the best in this playful land by accentuating its
charms with a few of its own. Unique layouts, stunning views, and
special features like patios, beach access, washers and dryers and
fully-equipped kitchens make all the difference when it comes to
enjoying every moment of this getaway.
Fort Lauderdale isn't the top choice for every vacationer, but you
probably already know if you're the kind of person who would enjoy a
jaunt to this jovial town. Start planning early to achieve the best
results, and prepare to find yourself floating in a sea of fun.
