Fort Lauderdale -
Book Now
A single low-budget Hollywood movie changed FORT
LAUDERDALE from a mild-mannered little town that
happened to adjoin seven miles of palm-shaded white
sands into a byword for uninhibited beach life.
Following the 1960 teen-exploitation movie Where
the Boys Are , Fort Lauderdale instantly became
the number-one Spring Break venue in the US, drawing
hundreds of thousands of frenzied students each
year. By the end of the 1980s, it had imposed enough
restrictions on boozing and wild behavior to put an
end to the bacchanal, and Fort Lauderdale has
transformed itself into a thriving pleasure port,
catering to individual yacht-owners and major cruise
liners alike, that's also one of the fastest-growing
residential areas in the country.
