Fort Lauderdale sprawls across a network of 300+ miles of inland waterways, earning it the title 'Venice of America,' where boats double as taxis and waterfront dining is a way of life. Beyond the broad Atlantic beach, visitors find a surprisingly sophisticated arts scene, reef diving, and a buzzing Las Olas Boulevard restaurant corridor.
