You would think the sheer beauty of Fort Lauderdale’s sunny coast, with its palm trees and hibiscus flowers, sparkling waters and magnificent 40-kilometre stretch of Atlantic beach, would be enough. Not even close.
Greater Fort Lauderdale, incorporating 31 communities from Hallandale Beach in the south to Deerfield Beach in the north, pops with more than 500 hotels, 4,000 restaurants, 120 nightclubs, a wildlife sanctuary and the home ice of the NHL’S Florida Panthers.
