Things to do in Fort Lauderdale

Planning a visit to Fort Lauderdale beach is a must when arriving on flights to Fort Lauderdale. Grab some juice in a coconut or pineapple from one of the street vendors near the southern Los Olas Beach, and relax on the sandy beach not far from the main strip. If you're looking for a bit more quiet, head towards the north of the beach and claim a spot for yourself to zone out to the sound of waves and seagulls.

Visitors arriving on flights to Fort Lauderdale will find that Fort Lauderdale Beach isn't the only beach in the area, as the city boasts 24 miles of sandy beachfront. With Pompano Beach to the north of Fort Lauderdale Beach and Hollywood Beach south of Port Everglades, you can truly have your pick of beaches throughout your stay.

Many visitors planning to fly to Fort Lauderdale find themselves sticking close to the coastline to enjoy the city's extensive network of canals and waterfront. Excursions on canals include gondola rides, sunset champagne cruises, or a group tour of the Riverwalk Arts and Entertainment District from a floating tiki bar.

Watersports are always a popular option for travellers on flights to Fort Lauderdale, as there are a number of entertaining options for thrill seekers and families alike. For the adventurous, flyboarding, jet skiing, electric surfboarding, seabobbing (an underwater propeller for snorkelling) or renting boats such as canoes or kayaks, are also exciting options to get on and in the water.

Visiting the Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation offers visitors a chance to learn about the history of the Seminole tribe, while taking part in animal and Everglades tours. Everglades Tours or fishing excursions in the Everglades are also available in nearby Sawgrass Recreation Park.

Flamingos were once considered an invasive species, but are now as much a part of Florida as sunshine and sandy beaches. After your flight to Fort Lauderdale, visit the Flamingo Wildlife Sanctuary if you're looking to learn about the majestic creatures, as well as other native Florida species such as alligators, black bears, otters, turtles, panthers, bobcats and a number of aviaries full of winged friends.

If a party is what you're looking for, event spaces such as The Wharf Fort Lauderdale often hosts themed parties throughout the week that are sure to give you that beach party vibe that you're after. While dance clubs dominate Fort Lauderdale's nightlife scene, live music, casinos and casual pubs can all be found within a short walk from each other.

Fort Lauderdale is also host to music festivals such as the Tortuga Music Festival, bringing conservation awareness and fundraising by attracting country and rock performers from around the country.

Stay somewhere relaxing after your flight to Fort Lauderdale

Sunset Fort Lauderdale

To the southwest of the city sits the neighbourhood of Sunset Fort Lauderdale. Located in Broward County, Sunset Fort Lauderdale is the best of suburbia just a 15-minute drive from downtown's Los Olas Boulevard and the beach. Family-friendly and safe, the neighbourhood is home to modern coastal-contemporary and ranch-style homes with Spanish influences that are common all over Florida. With well-manicured lawns and sprawling streets, guests staying in Sunset are always just a short walk away from a park or coffee shop.

Looking for some seafood after landing from your Fort Lauderdale flight? There's plenty of options in Sunset, ranging from Flanigan's Seafood Bar and Grille for award-winning ribs or mahi mahi, to Latin delights at Honduran and Mexican restaurants.

If you're planning to fly to Fort Lauderdale and are looking for a more relaxed vibe with your partner or family, considering an apartment or home to rent in Sunset Fort Lauderdale is a great option that's close enough to the action of Los Olas and the beaches.

Victoria Park

Just northeast of Fort Lauderdale's downtown district, Victoria Park Fort Lauderdale features the best of both worlds. Since the 1930s, the Victoria Park neighbourhood has flourished as mainly a single-family home neighbourhood, mixed in with all the amenities – including dining and shopping – of a vibrant downtown neighbourhood.

After your flight to Fort Lauderdale, have a feast at one of the neighbourhood's popular dining spots. Casa D'Angelo is one of those can't miss spots when visiting the area. Traditional Italian, the restaurant's locally-sourced ingredients make for a memorable meal at the first of this restaurant's many successful locations. Come for the pasta, stay for the wine pairings and impeccable service.

As the city developed, the neighbourhood became home to a mix of traditional Floridian houses, and the more modern architecture, including condominiums and of course multi-million dollar waterfront homes, all designed with that tropical landscape that Florida is known for.

A haven for watersports enthusiasts, one can find kayakers and stand-up paddle-boarders winding their way through the canals just outside of Victoria Park any day of the week. The largest and most popular park in the city, Holiday Park, is also located in Victoria Park and features jogging trails, soccer fields, baseball diamonds, football fields, volleyball courts and dog parks.

Located in Victoria Park, the Stonewall National Museum & Archives is a must for anyone wanting to partake in art, programs, film festivals, and dialogue relating to LGBTQIA+ themes. Stop by the museum to see interesting exhibits or catch a flick at one of their movie nights.
