The city of Fort Lauderdale and Fort Lauderdale beach are definitely worth a visit one day during your time here. The strip, "A1A" offers beach front frolicking and relaxing with good eating and drinking options by the sea. Las Olas Boulevard, offers a drive in the "Venice of the Americas" across bridges and canals through opulant neighborhoods and shopping. Put "Elbo Room" in your GPS and you will land in the heart of Fort Lauderdale beach in front of the oldest pub and an institution on the Fort Lauderdale strip. There is public parking there and you can take it on foot from there, before heading back to the car to explore Las Olas Boulevard and other neighborhoods by the sea.
