OVERVIEW

Fort Lauderdale stretches along the Atlantic and an extensive network of canals, earning a strong identity through marinas, yachts and waterfront homes. High rise hotels line the beach, while restaurants and shops cluster along inland waterways and commercial streets. The city forms part of a continuous urban coast.

Water taxis and boat tours reveal the Intracoastal Waterway, marinas and canal side homes more clearly than road travel. Las Olas Boulevard links restaurants and galleries with the beachfront, while the main resort strip is polished and densely developed. Travellers seeking quieter nature will find the wetlands inland rather than within the urban coast.
