Right in the heart of Florida's Gold Coast, and known as the 'Venice of America' (you can get around Fort Lauderdale almost exclusively on water taxis) Fort Lauderdale is a city of islands, wbuilt on a network of canals, rivers, bays and waterways, and fronted by 23 miles (37km) of Atlantic Ocean beaches. Boating is a favourite pastime, as is cycling, roller-blading, or just walking along the palm tree-fringed beachfront promenade that leads on to those magnificent beaches. Nearby is one of the only shore-accessible living coral reefs in the United States.

Boca Raton
The Boca Raton Resort and Club on Florida's Gold Coast is another one of 'America's most exclusive resorts'. It's 356 acres in the city of Boca Raton. Entertainment centres on sports, fine dining, and shopping. There are no fast-food outlets or neon signs here! There are, however, two 18-hole golf courses, a marina, beauty salons, six swimming pools, a private beach and a reading room. The main building, the pink 'Cloister', was built in 1926 and is an architectural curiosity with Moorish and Gothic influences, hidden gardens, archways, intricate mosaics and fountains

Marine Life Center
The Marine Life Center on the oceanfront at Loggerhead Park monitors turtles along the Gold Coast. The Center is really a turtle hospital, and visitors can see ill and injured creatures being rehabilitated. There are numerous exhibits, including tropical fish, and a gift shop. Guided 'turtle walks' are offered during June and July, but bookings must be made in advance.
