Fort Lauderdale Beach

Once known for spring break madness, when thousands of college students descended on the beach in a drunken frenzy, the Fort Lauderdale beach area is now a more sedate but still an entertaining stretch of sand. Beachfront roads and a long boardwalk run alongside a multitude of shops, restaurants and other tourist sites. The most popular section of beach is between Las Olas and Sunrise Boulevards.

The soft white sand attracts a regular crowd of beach goers, particularly during the warmer months.
