Immerse Yourself in Greater Fort Lauderdale. Relax. Refresh.
Renew. A delectable
combination of sea,
sun, shopping, arts
and entertainment,
Greater Fort
Lauderdale has
become a
sophisticated
playground with
equal parts,
glamour, old-world
charm and
retro-funkiness. Offering guests an
ideal atmosphere for
the perfect
vacation.
Water is a defining
element of Greater
Fort Lauderdale,
framed on the east
by 23 miles of
golden sand beaches,
gently kissed by
turquoise Atlantic
waves, and bordered
on the west by the
Everglades. Between the
two, the
Intracoastal
Waterway, a canal
system reminiscent
of Venice and
complete with water
taxis, winds
gently through the
interior, connecting
downtown office
buildings, the
world-class
boutiques, galleries
and restaurants on
chic Las Olas
Boulevard, and the
museums, theaters
and nightspots of
Riverwalk.
A mecca
for the avid
sportsperson, for
instance, the area
features endless
holes of golf, miles
of wilderness trails
for hiking and
biking, unsurpassed
snorkeling, diving
and deep sea
fishing, premier
thoroughbred
horseracing at
Gulfstream Park,
Florida Panthers ice
hockey at the
state-of-the-art
Office Depot Center
and interactive
exhibits at the
International Game
Fish Association's
Fishing Hall of Fame
and Museum. For
those who see
adventure as hunting
down the latest
clothing and
furniture designs,
Greater Fort
Lauderdale is also
known for shopping,
with top specialty
stores as twelve
major malls plus the
Design Center of the
Americas (DCOTA),
the world's largest
international design
center, and Sawgrass
Mills, a destination
in itself, with more
than 300 retail
outlets and name
brand discounters.
Yes, fabulous
beaches and the
perfect year-round
weather are only a
small part of the
enviable Greater
Fort Lauderdale's
"good life!"
