Visiting Fort Lauderdale
Once famed for its spring-break debauchery, Fort Lauderdale now caters to more sophisticated beachcombers seeking the lure of eastern Florida’s Gold Coast, which stretches 60 miles along the Atlantic Ocean. Visitors to this “Venice of America” will find top-notch boating, scuba diving, and shopping, though high-rises and cruise-ship crowds are prevalent. Nature lovers should check out Butterfly World, which houses 150 species of butterflies, or head further along the coast to explore the Everglades.
