Fort Lauderdale Travel Guide

Think about Spring breaks, wet T-shirts contest, tequila shots, and loud and crazy wild college students, what place comes in mind? Fort Lauderdale, Florida! That’s right; Fort Lauderdale was once the ultimate Spring Break destination, until it all went south when college kids started doing stupid stuff that got themselves kicked under the curb. It happened during the eighties, which also drove Fort Lauderdale to consider a bigger opportunity and rebranded the city to attract a more experienced and sophisticated clientele. With Fort Lauderdale’s world-class beaches and attractions, it was not a difficult transition. Though the city still do cater to these young kids Spring Break festivities, rules and regulations are now set to handle the craziness that goes on every Spring Break celebration. But enough about Spring Break, Let’s talk about For Lauderdale. This energetic city brags about its long strip of beautiful sand beach and active lifestyle.
