Romantic Beach Delights

Life’s a beach along Florida's Gold Coast. With more than 300 miles of navigable inland waterways, Fort Lauderdale is a sun-worshiper’s and boater’s paradise. Journey by sailboat, water taxi, yacht, even trusty car to encounter everything from palatial mansions to Everglades swampland.

Watersports, dining, cruises, museums, shopping, even horse-drawn carriage rides all vie for your attention here. . Fashionable Las Olas Boulevard, the upscale Galleria Mall, and mammoth Sawgrass Mills (350 outlet stores and growing) all sell designer wares. There’s also the Fort Lauderdale Swap Shop (largest flea market in the south) and Dania’s Antiques Row to ensure you don’t leave Broward County empty-handed.

For generations couples have headed to Miami for the warm, the sun, the beach, and nightlife excitement. From Coconut Grove to Miami’s Latin-beat, Art-Deco district to the beaches, it's non-stop fun.

If you view Palm Beach county strictly by the numbers – 47 miles of coastline, a thousand tennis courts, more than 150 golf courses, 40 museums, more than 2,000 restaurants and nightclubs , and an average temperature of 78 degrees — it adds up to one of the most eclectic tropical locations a vacationer could want.
