From Deerfield Beach in the north to Hollywood in the south, there’s something for everyone.

In the evening, there are more than 4,000 restaurants, plus a thriving arts, entertainment, and nightlife scene to discover.

Active individuals can go fishing, diving, and paddleboard/kayaking (lessons are available), and nature lovers will find the world’s largest butterfly park.

And check our don’t miss some great  shore excursions.

And while Greater Fort Lauderdale qualifies as a “port of call” all its own, it’s just a hop, skip and airboat ride to the magnificent Everglades (Sawgrass Recreation Park or Everglades Holiday Park) just beyond town.
