Commonly referred to as "The Venice of America," Fort Lauderdale is also considered the yachting capital of the East Coast and is home to the International Swimming Hall of Fame. While the wealthy city stands on the cutting edge of fashion and the arts, it's also a fun-loving beachside community awash in souvenirs and sunscreen-wearing beach-goers. Picturesque surroundings, historic sights, museums, sidewalk cafes and a 22-block waterfront walkway contribute to the city's captivating appeal. Although still popular with the college crowds, Fort Lauderdale beach now sees more diverse visitors swimming and sunning on its shores. Anyone spending a day on the sand will enjoy the short distance to food and fun at Las Olas.
