Things to Do

Daytime Activity Ideas

Throw a beach party on Las Olas Beach. This is an inexpensive way to have fun in the sun, soaking up some rays or body surfing. Be sure to bring plenty of beach and bath towels, an ice cooler and ice, and a portable speaker for your music.

Because alcohol is not allowed on the beach, take some vodka and use plastic red cups if you and your friends want to drink booze. This stratagem usually works but you should of course remain vigilant for the constabulary.

Beachside bar crawl. Water taxis are available with 15 different stops that allow you to jump off when the mood strikes you but it is easy enough to walk since there are numerous bars along the beach. Seasoned visitors recommend beginning at the Riverwalk stop since this area features a number of bars and restaurants and continuing on to Himmarshee Village and ending up at Las Olas or the Beach Place.

Why Go

Besides the great weather and friendly people, civic leaders in Fort Lauderdale have made major investments in changing the popular stereotype of their city as just a spring break destination that appeals to young people. In fact, the city’s 23 miles of now-pristine rejuvenated beaches which have been honored with national Blue Wave Beach certification as among the safest, cleanest, and user-friendly beaches in the country which are a far cry from the beer-can littered image that many people think of when it comes to Fort Lauderdale. The Fort Lauderdale area also has more than 300 miles of navigable waterways in the form of creeks, rivers and canals and it is not surprising that city residents have more docks than driveways. Nevertheless, the city still suffers from a relatively high crime rate that is more than twice the national average so stay safe and travel in groups.
