Just north of Las Olas Boulevard on Route A1A is The Gallery at Beach Place. Browse shops, enjoy lunch or dinner, or carouse at assorted nightspots. Lower-level eateries tend toward the more upscale, whereas upper-level prices are lower (go figure), with superior ocean views. Beach Place has covered parking, but you can pinch pennies by using a nearby municipal lot.
