"Although Fort Lauderdale was initially known as a beloved spring break destination, it’s since become a popular year-round vacation spot thanks to its nearly 25 miles of beaches and a bustling nightlife scene. Las Olas Boulevard is lined with shops, galleries, restaurants, and bars; favorites include Ann’s Florist Coffee & Wine Bar, South Moon Under, and Timpano Las Olas. Should you need a break from the beach, make a beeline for the Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk, where you’ll find several scenic parks. Culture vultures, meanwhile, need not miss the Museum of Discovery and Science, the Bonnet House, or the Anne Kolb Nature Center, the latter of which is located in nearby Hollywood." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based freelance writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.
