#1: Warm, comfortable weather
Our Giants located near our Boston moving headquarters know how brutal New England winters can be. A dose of sunshine is a great cure for many stressors, and Fort Lauderdale has a wonderful climate. As a city with a subtropical rainforest climate, the temperature averages around 65 Fahrenheit or higher all year round and increases in the summertime.
#2: An infinite selection of beaches
Fort Lauderdale is a 12-month beach season city, which is ideal for those who want to relax by the water all year round. Since the beach is such a common part of life in South Florida, you can even pick which one you want to visit based on your lifestyle or mood. You can find family-friendly and dog-friendly beaches, beach camping, nude beaches and other hidden gems throughout the area, like St. George Island.
#3: Luxurious shopping
Many cities have areas known for high-end shopping opportunities, and Fort Lauderdale is no different. The premier destination for shopping in Fort Lauderdale is Las Olas Boulevard in the heart of the city. You’ll be able to find all the best in fashion, jewelry and accessories, books and stationery, and so much more. Las Olas Boulevard has the perfect balance of local boutiques and designer labels.
#4: Gondola rides on the canals
A trip to Venice might be out of your reach, but you can experience the magic of a traditional gondola ride right in South Florida. Known as the “Venice of America,” you can enjoy all the attractions of Fort Lauderdale from the comfort and pace of a gondola ride. One company known for gondola tours is Las Olas Gondola, and they offer a unique experience for all types of visitors. Whether you are looking for a family-friendly adventure or a more romantic evening with your partner, they will make the experience one to remember.
#5: Brunch is always a good idea
You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t love a delicious brunch. Combine the millennial-favorite meal with ocean views, and you’ll surely be in heaven. Many locations throughout the city incorporate the perfect balance of sweet and savory food, artisan drinks, lively atmosphere and relaxing ocean views we’d all expect from brunch in Southern Florida.
