USA - FLORIDA FORT LAUDERDALE : THE VENICE OF AMERICA  So what do the residents and loyal visitors of Florida's fastest growing, most diverse and dynamic vacation and business travel destination know that the rest of the world should find out? For starters there are 23 miles of wide sandy beaches stretching enticingly along calm, azure Atlantic waters – from Palm Beach in the north to Miami in the south.More than 300 miles of navigable inland waterways wind through palatial estates, citrus groves and the unique and exotic Everglades – beckoning boats of all sizes and shapes.
Then there are the cultural attractions, museums, sports, sailing and scuba diving, dining, entertainment, shopping, natural wonders, festivals and celebrations, friendly folk, cruise ships, water taxis, horse-drawn carriages, butterflies, alligators..... This is Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County: An area covering 1,197 square miles – two thirds of which lie in the Everglades – of diverse attractions and activities on and off the beach. With some 33,000 hotel rooms in Greater Fort Lauderdale, finding the right one is never a problem. Accommodations range from small inexpensive, family-run inns and hotels to deluxe resorts. The area also has great spa resorts like Hyatt Regency's Pier Sixty-Six, Marriott's Harbor Beach Resort & Spa, and the Diplomat Resort Country Club and Spa. From diamonds and precious antiques to discounted designer wear, Greater Fort Lauderdale has no shortage of shopping opportunities, from Sawgrass Mills, the world's largest value and entertainment mall, to the famed The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale. Landscaped, gas-lighted and chic Las Olas Boulevard is lined with one-of-a-kind boutiques, galleries and restaurants. The Outdoor World Bass Pro Shops mega sporting goods store will delight sportsmen and women. With the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Greater Fort Lauderdale is the center for theater, music and dance in South Florida. The Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art is home of one of the world's premier collections of early 20th-century art . The Museum of Discovery and Science, and Blockbuster 3D IMAX Theater helps kids of all ages explore science, space, and the environment. Broward County's 288 parks offer horseback riding, nature trails, picnicking and camping areas, waterskiing and fresh-water lakes – for some of the best bass-fishing in the county. More than 3.6 million people cruise out of modern Port Everglades each year. There is casino gaming aboard the Discovery, St. Tropez and SeaEscape cruise ships, which offer daily "cruises to nowhere" and to the nearby Bahamas. Hop onboard The Cat, a fast speed ferry to Freeport. Golfers will recognize the names of famous courses, among the more than 56 throughout Broward County. Tennis too, is world-class here. Scuba divers will find clear water and coral formations as elaborate and spectacular as those in the fabled Florida Keys. The Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi service provides a delightful and scenic mode of transportation to and from many hotels, attractions, restaurants and shops. But of course The Beach in Fort Lauderdale has the final call. The 23 miles of Blue Wave certified beaches are magnets for vacationers and beach adventures range from parasailing and windsurfing to basketball and badminton. But quiet, uncrowded stretches remain, where sea turtles lay their precious eggs, protected by tall grasses and seagrape trees; where exotic birds congregate in the early morning to feed on sealife left by the tide and where beach lovers can walk for uninterrupted miles, accompanied only by the surge of the incoming sea.
