Fort Lauderdale has been nicknamed the Venice of America and lives up to the name with a palm-fringed shoreline and a number of waterways. Many cruise lines and yachts surround the harbor and more than seven miles of beach offers residents and visitors opportunities for recreation, relaxation and enjoyment. For arts in the area, visitors can try the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival, an annual event that sees over 100 films screened. Beachgoers can participate in a wide range of activities from boating, jet skiing and volleyball to snorkeling, scuba diving and deep-sea fishing.
