The city bills itself as the "Venice of America" but I don't know about all that. It is however, a pretty eclectic area with no shortage of sunshine or things to do. You can kayak through rich people's backyards, wander into a silent disco or find a coffee shop through a bookcase. What it lacks in mega-clubs & overpriced drinks, it makes up for with unique characters and some good vibes.
Fort Lauderdale is littered with waterways and channels, which can make for some great kayaking.
You can get eye level with everything from an alligator to a sea otter.
What was originally supposed to be used as car storage, and then a man-cave, has transformed into one of Fort Lauderdale's best bars. Sure, you can do the main drag of waterfront bars, but there is something so much cooler about a secluded beer garden in the middle of town. It's everything you want a back-yard party to be, including air conditioning.
