Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Florida, United States and it attracts over 10 million visitors each year. It is very popular amongst yachters, and hosts many ports and boating clubs. During the Second Seminole War, a series of forts were built by Major William Lauderdale, from which the town derives its name.
Fort Lauderdale is not only famous for the boating and yachting but also for its vibrant nightlife, museums and beaches.
One of the main attractions in Fort Lauderdale is the outdoor/indoor flea market, the Ford Lauderdale Swap Shop. It also has the world’s biggest movie theatre drive in that has no less than 13 screens.
The International Swimming Hall can also be found in Fort Lauderdale on the beach, and this is famous the world over for the museum, theatre, research library and of course aquatic complex.
There is also a large park located aside the beach called the Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, that has camping and picnic areas, natural trails and offers the opportunity for canoeing. It also features the Terramar Visitor Centre that demonstrates the park’s ecosystem.
Another site of interest is the Henry E Kinney Tunnel on the US Route 1, which is the only public land tunnel in the United States. It travels underneath Las Olas Boulevard and the new river. Lastly, the James Randi Educational Foundation can also be found in Fort Lauderdale.
