   Explore Fort Lauderdale

   Fort Lauderdale, United States

   

   Spend a day exploring one of Florida's most famous resorts, with miles of broad white sandy beaches, dozens of lush green golf courses and the warm Atlantic at your feet. You could head downtown to Las Olas Boulevard for outdoor cafés, chic boutiques and to see Stranahan House, the city's oldest structure, built in 1901 and now preserved as a museum. In the Everglades, check out Flamingo Gardens to see pink flamingos, alligators, black bears and Florida panthers-plus exotic trees, butterfly gardens, and native flowers.

   This is also your chance to taste Floribbean cuisine, a fusion of old Florida favourites with Caribbean influences. Local seafood includes lobster, grouper, mahi-mahi, pompano, snapper, tuna, and stone crabs.

   Nassau, Bahamas

   Nassau, Bahamas

   

   Bustling markets and peaceful beaches are the two highlights of the capital of The Bahamas. The Nassau Straw Market has a dazzling array of stalls, selling everything from authentic Cuban cigars to one-of-a-kind artworks. Minutes from town, you'll find gorgeous white beaches with soft sand, turquoise waters and colourful coral reefs. Plus, there are activities to suit every type of adventurer-observing sharks, swimming with dolphins, or plunging down water slides. Paradise Island, connected by a bridge to Nassau, features underwater tunnels with sharks swimming around you, or you can wade through waist-high water surrounded by dolphins at Dolphin Cay.

   Alternatively, hop on a ferry to Blue Lagoon Island for a blissful beach break, where you can settle into a hammock and bask in the warm sunshine, or take a dip in the tranquil waters of the Atlantic. Nassau's cuisine celebrates the ocean too; try dishes like fried snapper served with grits, grouper drizzled with butter and conch, the marine mollusk of the iconic shell, presented as conch fritters, conch chowder, cracked conch, and even raw conch in fresh lime juice. Rice and peas are a staple side dish, washed down with delicious rum cocktails.

Enjoy postcard views of George Town, Seven Mile Beach and West Bay from the custom-designed Cayman Explorer, and step down easily into shallow waters to interact with beautiful stingrays.

   You could also go snorkelling from a luxurious catamaran, swimming through the World War II ship the USS Kittiwake, which is now a shallow artificial reef. Back in George Town, shop for crystal, jewellery, antiques and designer clothes, plus try Cayman conch in salads, chowders, and fritters, or sample the rich Caribbean curries these islands are famous for, with the mouth-watering flavours of coconut, cassava and plantains.

Back on dry land, curl up on the beach in a hammock and sip a cold beer or cocktail, then go shopping for beautiful Mexican silver, amber and other artisanal gifts in San Miguel.

   You could also take a ferry to charming Playa del Carmen, on the mainland, and stroll along la Quinta Avenida for more restaurants, bars, and shops.
