Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale has been one of Florida’s most popular holiday destinations for more than fifty years thanks to its exquisite location overlooking the Atlantic ocean, fantastic climate, and position so close to Miami. The city is now one of the main ports for Caribbean cruises, and also has a reputation as one of the best places for the annual college spring break, making it a real party town during the two week period when people travel there each year to celebrate being young and ready to enjoy life. Of course Fort Lauderdale is not just a young person’s holiday destination in Florida, and offers plenty for people of all ages from the very young to the very old to enjoy. No matter what your interests are, if you are looking for a great place to enjoy a relaxing break in the sun, Fort Lauderdale is definitely the place you should consider. The city has just about everything that you need to enjoy your break. Great beaches, fantastic shopping, superb hotels and activities including golf and sailing are all available in Fort Lauderdale, and you can do as much or as little as you like during your stay. Too many people travel to Fort Lauderdale and only spend a single night in the city before going on a cruise around the Caribbean, but this is a mistake and they are missing out on all the great attractions that they might otherwise be able to enjoy by exploring the city in more depth. One of the main attractions that Fort Lauderdale offers to visitors is the fact that it is so close to many other destinations in Florida including the city of Miami, which is just an hour or so south along the coast. Fort Lauderdale is a great place to use as a base for exploring the south of the state, and within easy reach of the city you will be able to explore the famous Florida Keys and the everglades, as well as being able to get access to many of the best and quietest beaches in North America if you are prepared to look a little off the beaten track and hunt down your little slice of paradise under the hot Florida sun.
