The beach is a major source of entertainment among locals and visitors. Fort Lauderdale’s twenty-three miles of beachfront was recently enhanced by the addition of a two mile pedestrian only walkway, known as the Beach Promenade, which is very popular with bikers, walkers and Rollerbladers.

Book a yacht tour with Riverfront Cruises and Anticipation Yachts, and spend a couple of hours sailing past the palatial estates that line many of the waterways. Other tours that specialize in nature-watching and fishing can be booked as well.

Nature lovers will find something, too, amid the high rises and cosmopolitan bustle of Fort Lauderdale. The Hugh Taylor Birch State Recreation Area occupies 180 acres right in the middle of the city. The park is home to several distinct ecosystems and many endangered species, and visitors can walk or canoe around the park.

Everglades Holiday Park specializes in airboat tours throughout the Everglades, with modified airboats to ensure comfort no matter what the weather.
