I love the water taxi ! It can take you anywhere you want to go, it even goes southbound to Hollywood to Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville. I like to catch the water taxi on Las Olas and ride it southbound to 15th Street Fisheries. Make sure you stop by the marina store to buy frozen shrimp to feed the tarpons!

My Favorite place to eat after a day at the beach. A locals favorite.
"Our mission is to create a great place where people in our community can gather, enjoy a high quality meal and experience Mexican food that is fresh, light and can be consumed every day. We began our journey 25 years ago by planning to open a restaurant that would not only provide South Florida with a taste of Mexican food but to create an environment that was not your everyday run of the mill eatery."

Beaches
Fort Lauderdale Beach is one of the prettiest beaches on the East Coast. I like to take Sunrise Blvd all the way East to A1A. Turn Left on A1A and go about 0.5 miles until you can find parking parallel to street. Beautiful Sunrise here.
