Fort Lauderdale Beach

Fort Lauderdale Beach – Forget what you think you know about Fort Lauderdale: The Pabst Blue Ribbon-strewn sands, Hawaiian Tropic oil slicks, and packed motels of yesteryear’s spring break capital have gone away (though the ultimate dive bar, the c. 1938 Elbo Room, is here to stay, much to our delight!) Nowadays, for the most part Fort Lauderdale beach is characterized by uncluttered stretches of sand, sparkling blue waters, upscale resorts, and mega-yachts rewriting this beach’s story. Billions in economic development have gone into erasing the Where the Boys Are vibe, restructuring Fort Lauderdale Beach as an unfussy yet refined alternative to neighboring Miami’s beaches. Case in point: Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale, a 189-key high design oceanfront stunner that opened in March 2022 and that ticks all the boxes one would covet in a snazzy Four Seasons stay—from excellent service to a sublime spa to an adults-only pool.
