Tropical gardens, rare wildlife |
3109 East Sunrise Boulevard Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304 United States +1 954 564 4521 |
This 180-acre park was given by Hugh Taylor Birch to the state of Florida. Birch came to Florida in the last part of the 19th century and promptly fell in love with the area; he eventually purchased more than three miles of oceanfront property in the little town of Fort Lauderdale. More than 100 years later, Fort Lauderdale is a busy metropolis, and Birch's land thrives as a wildlife preserve and botanical wonderland. A number of animal and plant species have found a safe home here alongside the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Visitors are free to hike or bike the designated trails, canoe around the lagoon, take a dip in the ocean and visit Birch's home, which is open to the public. Excellent camping facilities are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Florida without water would be...well, Kansas. Likewise, to come to the Sunshine State without doing something on or in all that water seems...well, you get it.

For those who absolutely refuse to have anything to do with the wet stuff, there are umbrellas and lounge chairs for rent, tanning oil for sale and a Captain Jack's Oceanfront Tiki Bar here at this watersports center tucked behind the Royal Vista Beach Resort. Waverunners, are $45 a half hour, $70 an hour and an hour's a long time on one of these babies. You've got to be 20 years old to rent one, but no other skills are required. They can also get you floating about in the sky over the water on a parasailing trip. Review © 2007, Wcities |

It is an adventure to travel by water taxi and arrive at waterside destinations, including dozens of restaurants and shops and a surprising number of offices, as well. These little green-and-yellow boats will also take groups on tours. Piloted by licensed captains, the taxis scoot around from downtown along the canals, Intracoastal Waterways and rivers. Schedules vary, call for details. Review © 2007, Wcities |
