Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale, FL

If you’re in Fort Lauderdale, FL, you are likely here to spend a large amount of time at the beach—and we don’t blame you. The sun, the sand, and the waves hitting the shoreline are all good medicine. However, if you’re looking for something to do off the beach, our crew at Carl’s Van Rentals of Fort Lauderdale recommends that you spend some time on Las Olas Boulevard.

Las Olas Boulevard is the area’s premier shopping and dining district, located in the hard of Fort Lauderdale. This district starts at the beach and extends into the city, overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway and the million-dollar mansions and yachts you can spy along its shores. Day or night, it’s a great place to spend some time.

Here are just a few things that Las Olas Boulevard has to offer:

• Boutique shopping
• Three museums, including the Stranahan House, the Museum of Discovery & Science, and the NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale
• International art galleries
• Specialty stores
• Fashion boutiques
• Local dining options, ranging from outdoor cafes to intimate fine dining
• And more

You can go to explore and to shop, or you can spend some time at the historic museums found along Las Olas Boulevard’s palm-tree-lined streets. Many people go to Las Olas for the day or to spend a special evening out. At night, the area explodes with activity, ranging from nightlife to live entertainment. Plus, you just can’t beat the food. When visiting Fort Lauderdale, Las Olas Boulevard is definitely the place to be, even if just for a few hours.
