Fort Lauderdale Beaches
Warm your toes in the golden sands of Greater Fort Lauderdale's 23 miles of sun-kissed beaches - an easy walk from many of our hotels, restaurants and activities.
There's no better way to relax, refresh, renew and reconnect. Enjoy a day of fun in the sun and swimming in the warm Atlantic waters.
Stroll, jog, or rollerblade along Fort Lauderdale's palm tree fringed, brick-lined beachfront promenade. Pass by the world famous Elbo Room, site of the 1960's "Where the Boys Are" movie starring George Hamilton and Connie Francis.
Relax on Hollywood Beach, known for its casual atmosphere and free entertainment. Bicycle, run or walk along Hollywood's 2 1/2 mile oceanfront Broadwalk which parallels the beach.
Enjoy Pompano Beach' three-and-a-half mile beach, a favorite spot for families featuring playgrounds on the beach, fine seafood, and family style festivities. Named after the saltwater fish abundantly found in the warm Atlantic waters, Pompano is home to an annual Pompano Seafood festival and Fishing Rodeo.
In the charming, half a square mile seaside village of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, you'll find a popular fishing pier where pelicans fly overhead. Dive and snorkel from shore along the three-tiered reef system.
Sports:
A mecca for the avid sportsperson, 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.
