Best attractions in Fort Lauderdale by VacationRentalGizmo

Fort Lauderdale’s canals and charm have earned it the nickname “The Venice of America.” The beaches offer 23 miles of golden sand, lively with the spirited antics of happy vacationers. Sail the blue-green waters on a chartered catamaran, or dive beneath the surface to meet- and-greet the local sea life. Shopping and dining al fresco on Las Olas Boulevard is one of Fort Lauderdale’s greatest pleasures, thanks to adorable shops and prime people-watching.

Fort Lauderdale Beach

The “locals” refer to this area as the A1A strip due to the line of restaurants and bars that are across the street from the beach. Popular locations such as famous Elbow Room, LuLu’s Bait Shack, Casablanca’s and Rok bar are just a few. Vacationrentalgizmo suggests a fun filled family day on the beach and as the night approaches the area tends to be more geared towards adults and nightlife.

“Beaches! That's why you came to Fort Lauderdale and its 23 miles of beachfront are some of the best in Florida, whether you're here for the sun, ocean or people watching.” Tom K.

Take a Water Taxi and cruise the Intracoastal Waterways-

Vacationrentalgizmo suggests a leisure trip on the water taxi which is only 10 mins away from most of our vacation rental homes. Cruise along the intracoastal stopping at frequent restaurants and bars during the day, disembark when you wish and hop back aboard when you are ready.

“A must do while in Ft. Lauderdale. The water alone is so beautiful, and all the yachts - awesome! Take a boat ride.” Houston,Texas

Twinkling lights set the stage each evening for South Florida’s most architecturally unique, authentic, and eclectic shopping and dining district.

Best attractions in Lauderdale by the Sea by VacationRentalGizmo

Lauderdale by the Sea has a variety of restaurants and locations including a popular beach and the fishing pier. People from around the world travel to this wonderful beach town and enjoy the warm weather and casual lifestyle. At vacationrentalgizmo we can be caught enjoying dinner and drinks at Kaluz on the Intracoastal and Blue Moon Fish Company. We also enjoy others closer to the beach such as Arubas Beach Cafe, The Village Pump and Oceans 101. If you need to pack a lunch for the beach consider LaSpada’s sandwiches- they are fantastic, fresh cut and hearty.

For those of you that enjoying snorkeling vacationrentalgizmo suggests the underwater world of this three-tiered reef is waiting for you. Visitors to Lauderdale-By-The-Sea often see scuba divers entering the water to make a 'beach dive.' What the visitors may not know -- but what the divers do is that the Town has a living coral reef within 100 yards of its shoreline. The reef is so close to the beach, it is even accessible to snorkelers. Commonly referred to as the 'first reef,' this underwater habitat is home to Florida's spiny lobster, grouper, rust-colored barrel sponges, numerous species of coral, sea fans and a variety of colorful tropical fish.

The most biologically-diverse marine eco-systems on earth, reefs are rivaled only by the tropical rainforests on land. Coral reefs occupy

less than one quarter of 1 percent of the planet's marine environment, but are home to more than 25 percent of all fish species.

These are just a few ideas from vacationgizmo, soon we will be launching a new website with downloadable brochures for our clients. We have extensive relationships throughout Fort lauderdale and neighboring beach areas so don’t hesitate to contact us with questions or requests.
