Clean beaches, great shopping, good food - Fort Lauderdale has all this and more to offer. This port town has some 42,000 yacht anchored in it’s harbour and is also popular for the water sports it offers. Once a boisterous hangout for young students, Fort Lauderdale has reinvented itself as the ultimate family vacation spot. Located on the east coast of the United States, Fort Lauderdale runs through 23 miles of the beaches of Florida. Swaying palm trees, white sands and pristine beaches make up the habitat of this area. A city of weaving inland waterways earned Fort Lauderdale the name of Venice of America.

A small town on Florida's east coast, Fort Lauderdale’s fortunes changed in the late sixties with the teen-centered movie 'Where the Boys Are ' shot here. Hordes of teenagers coming in for their spring vacation earned the city a wild reputation. In the 1980s, city authorities bought in strict measures that put an end to the partying.  Now the city is transforming itself into a prime time destination for the well heeled, especially the yachting crowd.

The summer months between May and September are warm and sunny, with temperatures in July and August hitting 88° F. It rains frequently in July-September, but the sky clears up soon and the sun shines through. Winters are pleasant and temperatures rarely go beyond 75° F.
