Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach County.

Art and Entertainment

Plunge into a culture as deep as the ocean which frames us. A culture characterized by Seminoles and Broadway shows. Tasty jazz and art festivals. And like the horizon here, the list goes on and on.

Museums

There is much to discover beyond our beautiful beaches. Immerse yourself in the arts. Explore the many museums --- from fine art to fishing, archaeology to African-American and Native American heritage, antique cars to outer space and a museum dedicated to the art of swimming.

Music, Dance, and Theater

Just minutes from the  beach is the Riverwalk Arts and Entertainment District in downtown Fort Lauderdale, home to cultural attractions, shops, parks and restaurants.  Along Riverwalk, the brick-lined meandering promenade, discover the  Broadway shows, opera, ballet and concerts at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, plus the hands-on Museum of Discovery and Science with its Blockbuster 3D IMAX Theater, major exhibitions at the Museum of Art, Florida Grand Opera, history at Old Fort Lauderdale, Stranahan House.  Catch top name talent like Barbra Streisand or Billy Joel at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, and concerts, comedy and sports at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood.

Nature

There is no place better to experience the Everglades, explore a magical underwater world, study fossils, butterflies, or tropical flowers, or simply soak up the pleasures of parks and Blue Wave beaches than at the very center of South Florida's Gold Coast.

Nightlife

The fun goes beyond the beach. Jazz clubs, outdoor cafes with music, hot spots, comedy clubs and more invite you to dance, laugh, and dine without a care in the world.

Sightseeing Cruises

Water, water everywhere -- more than 300 miles of navigable inland waterways and azure Atlantic waters -- is reason enough to make water-related activities part of your vacation.

What better way than a leisurely cruise to take in the sights of Millionaire's Row, yachts of the rich and famous and private islands.

Sports

Whether you love to watch or play,  South Florida is heaven for the sports lover. Planning a sports event?

See the NHL in action at the BankAtlantic Center, home to Florida Panthers ice hockey. And the buzz is already in the air, as South Florida prepares to host the Big Game at Dolphin Stadium in 2010. Meanwhile, more than 50 area golf courses offer you the full country club experience as well as public links for any skill level.
