Top things to do in Fort Lauderdale

There’s no denying that exploring the beach comes top of most people’s list of things to do in Fort Lauderdale. There are miles of palm-studded sands to tempt you, and when you’re not reclining under the Florida rays, you can venture into the lively beach bars and restaurants, to mingle and laugh into the early hours. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also go diving and snorkeling among the many eerie shipwrecks that have become almost a part of the reef system. One of the best ways to enjoy the famous canals is by going on a tranquil Jungle Queen riverboat cruise – it’s been a popular pastime here since the 1930s.

And, if you’re in the mood for a big night out, you can check out the musicals, plays and concerts on the agenda at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.
