Heading to the USA’s southernmost state of Florida, rightly known as “The Sunshine State”, is<br />

always an adventure – but nowhere is more exciting, picturesque, and downright peculiar than the<br />

city that seems to be built on water.<br />

More laid-back and slightly more low-key than the bright<br />

lights and gaudiness of next door Miami, “America’s Venice”,<br />

as Fort Lauderdale is otherwise known, is home to great<br />

food, incredible water sports, and the sort of welcome you<br />

only get in America.<br />

Just north of Miami on the East coast, Fort Lauderdale<br />

is a city that’s indelibly linked with the water. With more<br />

than 165 miles of canals and 24 miles of gorgeous, sandy<br />

beaches, there’s plenty to do and see no matter how you<br />

like to spend your holiday!<br />

For activities on the water, you can go boating or rent a<br />

jet ski on the blue seas. Why not try out a spot of sport<br />

fishing for sailfish or sharks? Or you can take a tour of the<br />

huge homes that line the canals and find out about all the<br />

millionaires and billionaires who call Fort Lauderdale home.<br />

This far south and so close to a warm and bountiful<br />

ocean, it’s no surprise that Fort Lauderdale has a special<br />

relationship with fish and seafood. Grab yourself some<br />

serious fish tacos, fresh grilled swordfish, or local favourite<br />

stone crab with mustard sauce.<br />

So, whatever your plans are, if<br />

you’re heading down to<br />

Florida to catch some<br />

sun and make some<br />

memories, make sure<br />

you head to Fort<br />

Lauderdale. You<br />

won’t regret it.<br />
