Fantastic Fort Lauderdale has moved on from the spring-break days of old, and is now an excellent year-round romantic vacation or weekend getaway destination for couples in South Florida. It’s all here: great beaches, sunny warm weather, shopping and dining, and easy access to other romantic spots in South Florida.

Romantic Things to Do in Fort Lauderdale

  • Water Taxi - Great for exploring Fort Lauderdale's canals and waterways, sightseeing (see the cruise ships!), or hopping off to shop or dine at one of the 14 stops. www.watertaxi.com
