The Essential Guide(sm) to:
Ft. Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale is one of the East Coast's leading resort beaches. Long associated with rowdy Spring Break revels, the city has cleaned up its act over the last few years and now attracts a more sedate, and well-off crowd.

The centerpiece of the revival has been the oceanfront. Starting with a nice wide beach, the city has added sidewalks, a low dividing wall and palm trees to create an attractive and popular atmosphere. The beach is right beside Highway A1A, which in the strip area is lined with shops, restaurants, hotels and nightspots. The combination makes for a lot going on, all with a view of the beach.
Off the beach, Fort Lauderdale is remarkable for its wealth. The many waterways are lined with the huge homes of the rich and famous. Beside many of those homes are yachts large enough to be homes. In fact, Fort Lauderdale claims to be the yachting capital of the East Coast. From appearances alone, that may be true. Of course to support the lifestyles of such residents, the area has a great collection of shops and restaurants.
