Nestled just west of the inspiring 17th Street Causeway Bridge with its spectacular view of downtown and Port Everglades, is Harbor Shops. This expansive shopping center is a one-stop experience where you can pick up groceries, wine, yachting supplies, or those last minute items just before you board your exciting cruise, or have a delightful meal.

Built in 2004 in a former industrial-zoned area, designers of Harbor Shops built this attractive shopping area in a Caribbean/Key West style of architecture, and which also carries a rather nautical theme. As can be expected, near-by residents are proud of not only their luxurious homes but also, and sometimes more so, of their boats and yachts, and here is where they come for maps and books at Bluewater Books & Charts.

Are you a boating enthusiast yourself? Here you'll find Hill Robinson Yacht Management, the leading independent yacht management company which offers unparalleled services to international clientele worldwide. Or, perhaps, if you have such a need, there is Sparkman & Stephens Yacht Design, the professionals in making that yacht just what it should be. But other than nautical and marine needs, Harbor Shops is a practical shop for health and beauty supplies at Flair Beauty Boutique, party supplies such as the cavernous Total Wine & More, where if you can't find your favorite wine here it doesn't exist. Here, too, you can purchase your groceries at Publix, cell phone supplies at the Sprint Superstore or AT&T, or simply chose one of the exceptional restaurants from Outback Steakhouse to the every-favorite Five Guys Burgers & Fries. Harbor Shops is a local favorite of locals and visitors alike.
