1. Beaches
Fort Lauderdale is home to 23 miles of white sand beaches with crystal clear waters. Their beaches are clean, safe and offer plenty of water sports. While there still are parties, you’re far more likely to find families relaxing on the beaches rather than rowdy party goers which the area was previously known for.
2. Las Olas Boulevard
This aesthetically pleasing boulevard holds restaurants, museums, art galleries and shops. While the shops can be quite expensive, it can be enjoyable to walk down and soak up the atmosphere or even grab a bite to eat on Florida’s most famous street. There are a variety of festivals and events that happen on this street throughout the year so be sure to check if any are on during your Fort Lauderdale holiday.
3. Sawgrass Recreation Park

4. NSU Art Museum
Located on Las Olas Boulevard this museum showcases contemporary and 20th century art. With several floors and a sculpture terrace the museum features over 6000 pieces from different artists including a world-renowned collection of ceramics by Pablo Picasso.
5. Water Taxi
