Fort Lauderdale at a Glance
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. Sports enthusiasts
visiting the area can take in Fort
Lauderdale Stadium, the spring training ground for the Baltimore
Orioles. Visitors can stroll through seven acres of gardens while brilliantly
colored butterflies fly around at Butterfly
World. The Broward
Center for the Performing Arts, on the banks of the New River, allows guests
to arrive for performances by boat. A number of museums are scattered throughout
the city, including the Museum
of Discovery and Science and the International
Swimming Hall of Fame, both of which provide insight into Fort Lauderdale
and the surrounding area.
