Fort
Lauderdale Beachfront:-
A wave of theme unifies the setting –
from the low, white wave shape wall between
the beach and beachfront promenade to
widened and bricked inner promenade in
front of shops, restaurants and hotels.
Alone among Florida’s major beachfront
communities, Fort Lauderdale beach remains
open and uncluttered.
