Getting Around

Depending on your choice of activities, you can certainly make your way around town without a car. Between the Water Taxi, Sun Trolley, and Broward BCycle public bike sharing network, you can likely get to the hot spots with minimal need for a car. If you do opt for longer jaunts, you might want to rent a car or consider using a rideshare or taxi.

Best time to Visit

Fort Lauderdale is warmer than a lot of places in winter, with daytime temperatures between December and April ranging from the high 50s°F to the mid 80s°F. So if your hometown has icy winters, this is a great place to escape to. You'll be able to enjoy the stunning beaches close to the city without dealing with the crowds of summer. And yes, it will still be warm enough to wear your favorite bikini or boardshorts.

What to Pack

Fort Lauderdale is a great place for summery clothes throughout most of the year, but you should definitely bring some different layers in the cooler months. You'll also want:

  • Sandals: There's a high likelihood you'll be seeing a lot of the beach, so make sure you have the right footwear. Sand in socks is the worst.
  • Walking shoes: Bring comfy ones for walking in town and in the parklands, ideally hiking sneakers or boots.
  • Deodorant and antiperspirant: Yes, we recommend both because this is Florida and that means one word: humidity. Need we say more?
  • Waterproof pouch for phone and camera: Keep out the sand and moisture.
