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.
Ever wanted to just serve yourself at the bar? Well that's the whole point behind Riverside Market. Get up, and get whatever beer you like. The walls are lined like a gas station with self-serve coolers, dishing out hundreds of craft beers.
