Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) Overview

The "middle city" of Florida's Gold Coast, Fort Lauderdale sits between Miami to the south and
Palm Beach to the north. The city blends in nicely with its metropolitan neighbors, and elements
of Miami's chic vibe and the affluent nature of Palm Beach are recognizable here. But Fort
Lauderdale is a destination in and of itself. Operating one of the busiest cruise ports in North
America -- more than three million people pass through each year -- has helped to define Fort
Lauderdale as a robust tourism spot in the United States.
