USA ~ Fort Lauderdale Beach - Florida ~

Fort Lauderdale Beach is a year round sun-filled beach town... famous for its pristine beaches, miles of swaying palm trees and soft ocean breezes... also known as the Venice of America, because of its 270 miles of canals and waterways... this must be the first postcard you sent before cruising to the Southern Caribbean and it came as last o͜͡o ... Loved them all... Big Thanks Glenn!!✿◕ ‿ ◕✿ ➝ Gem's World Postcards

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is a city located on the coast in southeast Florida close to Miami. It is part of the South Florida metropolitan area.  The city was first founded by Major William Lauderdale during the Seminole War of 1837-1838. The city grew rapidly during the land boom in Florida during the 1920s.

Fort Lauderdale's port is called Port Everglades, which is a misleading name, as it is not in fact located near the Florida Everglades. Port Everglades is ranked second among cruise ports worldwide and has more home ported cruise ships than any other port.
