Fort Lauderdale plays host to a number of events worth traveling for... from waterfront music festivals to boat shows, food and wine fairs, neighborhood art walks, and so much more. The Greater Fort Lauderdale events calendar is constantly full of fun for the whole family. On this morning's show we were joined by Travel Contributor, Colleen Kelly. “I am at the beautiful Pelican Grand Beach Resort which has so much to offer. The Pelican Grand Beach Resort provides breathtaking views and the turquoise water of the Atlantic.”
Iconic verandas with wooden rocking chairs identify what can only be described as a lovely and gracious property. Accommodations are all new and designed with a contemporary beach vibe and décor. Interiors evoke the colors of the sandy beach and the blue ocean. Pelican Grand is the only resort directly on the beach in Fort Lauderdale. On the rooftop sits PURE Spa, is a Swedish-inspired respite with an all-natural approach to wellness. A new fitness center with ocean views has recently been added. Both children and adults love the old-fashioned ice cream Emporium complete with candies and gifts. The Pelican Grand offers generous meeting space as well as stunning wedding and event venues. The resort is conveniently located to shopping and cultural sites.
“The fun doesn’t stop there” says Kelly. She adds “as one of the highlights of the Sunshine State, Greater Fort Lauderdale’s 24 miles of golden sandy shores are home to some of Florida’s finest beaches. Whether you’re looking for a buzzy bar and restaurant-filled boardwalk or something quieter, where watersports are more of a draw than watering holes, Greater Fort Lauderdale offers something for everyone."
Fort Lauderdale has been referred to as the “Venice of America” and it is more than a humble-brag on Fort Lauderdale’s official city seal...the nickname is based on the 300 miles of inland waterways that run through Greater Fort Lauderdale, with about 165 of those miles in the City of Fort Lauderdale itself. When locals and visitors call this tropical destination the Venice of America, it’s because these winding ribbons of waterways aren’t just for show. Whether you are a fishing enthusiast or a foodie, a paddleboarder or a party-boater, you’ll find a multitude of ways to stay, play and dine on the waterways in Greater Fort Lauderdale.
In closing Kelly added "you also need to get the Adventure Pass. It’s a summer full of savings and lots of family fun, with 4 attractions for the price of 1! Four local attractions have joined together to offer the South Florida Adventure Pass! For one unbeatably low price, locals and tourists will enjoy unlimited admission this summer to Butterfly World, Flamingo Gardens, Museum of Discovery & Science and Sawgrass Recreation Park. From animal interactions, exotic butterflies, and lush botanical gardens to airboat rides, the South Florida Adventure Pass is the perfect adventure for the whole family. My favorite is the Exotic Butterflies exhibit." Don’t miss the opportunity for great family fun. For more information VisitLauderdale.com
