The Beach

What is Ft. Lauderdale without its beaches? With 23 miles of white sand and turquoise water, it’s ready for you to catch some waves, sun and fun. Whether you decide to bring your flip flops to Hollywood Beach or Lauderdale-by-the-sea, we guarantee some gorgeous beach shots. Just don't blame us if you're so caught up in the moment that you forget to capture that perfect sunrise/sunset.

  

  

Las Olas Boulevard

Head to the heart of Ft. Lauderdale to Las Olas Blvd; the epicenter of eating, shopping and general enjoyment. This happening spot is full of exciting shots; day or night. Snap some photographs of your gourmet meals and sweet treats. At night, the streets illuminate as happy hours dominate the scene. Best of all, there is free Wi-Fi at many spots, so you can instantly share your photographs and make your friends and family jealous!

 

 

Bahia Mar Marina

Whether you happen to stay at the DoubleTree Hilton or not, you'll want to explore the Bahia Mar Marina. This breathtaking spot exemplifies life on the water; the way true natives in Ft. Lauderdale love to enjoy. You can embark on many sports activities (Which make wicked photo shots!) like diving, jet skiing or sightseeing cruises. Or, you can spend your time taking photographs of the impressive luxury yachts that you kind of wish you could take home as a souvenir.

 

 

Flamingo Gardens and Wray Botanical Collection

Did you know that Florida's state bird is the Flamingo? Catch a shot of this bold and beautiful animal at the Flamingo Gardens and Wray Botanical Collection. Though it is further away from the scenic Ft. Lauderdale coast, it’s worth a trip inland to see Florida’s natural beauty. There is everything from a tropical rainforest and wetlands to tranquil butterfly gardens. And don't forget to say hello to the unofficial state animal, the famous alligator.

 

Ft. Lauderdale Swap Shop

This may not be your most typical Ft. Lauderdale attraction, but it sure is a sight to see. You’ve seen flea markets ‘round the world, but none like the Ft. Lauderdale Swap Shop. This outdoor flea market almost seems like an entertainment complex. Its sad claim to fame was that its opening night was the day President JFK was killed. It likely bounced back and expanded to more than just a place to call someone else's trash your own treasure. There are rides (including some on the water), galleries and even the largest outdoor drive in so you can make an entire day out of your trip to this flea market extravaganza.
