Fort Lauderdale's increasingly stylish beachfront offers easy access not only to a wide band of beige sand but also to restaurants and shops. Heading north for 2 mi, beginning at the Bahia Mar yacht basin along Route A1A, you'll have clear ocean views (typically across rows of colorful beach umbrellas) to ships passing in and out of nearby Port Everglades. If you're on the beach, gaze back on an exceptionally graceful promenade.
