great placve for families or spring breakers. been going to ftl for 20 years. there are 5 beaches within 5 minutes. you are only short distance from the airport. great variety for places to stay.

Have dinner and then enkpy the xasuno or some Karaoke,/ You are close to Tampa Bay tp also enjoy what this city has to offer .

If you're bringing the kids, you have to make a stop at Jaxson's Ice Cream Parlour & Restaurant (featured on Food Network) they will serve you in a kitchen sink looking bowl contraption! The have the largest Collection of rural American memorabilia. A little south of Lauderdale but just an all around enjoyable place. If interested in the Arts, you can go to Museum of Arts which have anything from Sharks to Aliens, paintings to sculptures, dinners, receptions and even have a 3D Imax theater! (Check schedule) For shopping, check out Las Olas Boulevard. This trendy boulevard has numerous individually owned boutiques and restaurants, including sidewalk cafes. Depending when you travel, you might even catch the winterfest boat parade!

I love Fort Lauderdale- lying on the beach all day is great, there's some great (slightly sketchy) spas, some great shopping, swimming, tanning... I do not think it is such a good place for kids though, there are some kids activities but nothing too family friendly there. My advice is leave your kids at home and go lie on the beach all day soaking up the sun in the middle of December!

Lots to see and do along the Ft. Lauderdale beach both day and night.

Beautiful beaches and beautiful people. TONS of nightlife! Plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops along the beach. Water is warm, as per usual with Florida beaches. If your a partier, be sure to check out Riverwalk. You can even take water taxis to bar hop! If you are a gambler, there's Hard Rock and several other local casinos, including gambling ships. Just be prepared for alot of traffic on any given day. Otherwise, everything is in close range. Plenty of shopping, restaurants, parks, etc. Miami is not far, check out South Beach. Hollywood beach is close as well and a little more family friendly. Ft. Lauderdale is about a 3 hour drive from Orlando (Disney) and about 2 hours from the Keys, and about 1-2 hours from Naples as well. So you always have plenty of options, depending on your mood.
