Fort Lauderdale is known for its beautiful beaches and extensive canal system. The white sands and clear waters of the beautiful beaches are a must-visit in the area. A lively yachting center, some skippers travel only on weekdays to avoid the heavy weekend traffic between Pompano Beach and Miami. But there isn’t another harbor like it, and it would be a shame to pass through without stopping for a visit. Vibrant Las Olas Boulevard is filled with shops, restaurants and galleries. Skippers can tie up at on-the-water restaurants and shopping centers for shore-side dining, shopping or strolling.
