Top Fort Lauderdale Attractions

(That Aren't the Beach)

Though heading straight to the beach might seem like a natural reaction to arriving in Fort Lauderdale, pristine white-sand beaches, warm and clear waters, and boundless recreational activities are far from all that Fort Lauderdale has to offer. Before you come here—whether it’s to drop by for a visit or to stay a few years—or if you already live here, take some time to really explore the unique and exciting attractions of Fort Lauderdale.


Explore the Great Outdoors

By boat, by bike, by foot, by secluded waterways… Fort Lauderdale is waiting. And whether you’re an outdoor guru or merely a sunshine-lover who enjoys a casual stroll through town, you’re sure to find the perfect spot to explore.

Intracoastal Waterway

Putter through quiet waters, drop a line, paddle secluded inlets, or head for the open waters of the Atlantic.
