If they want yet another way to time travel, they can make their way to Lighthouse Point Marina and catch the motor launch to Cap’s Place, the oldest restaurant in Greater Fort Lauderdale, established in 1928.

Pompano Beach: As the travelers continue their journey south, they will come across Pompano Beach, the “Wreck Capital” of Florida and a wonderland for diving enthusiasts. It’s home to 18 shipwrecks, each as interesting and mysterious as the next. 

Pompano Beach is also known for its sport fishing, so chartering a boat to head out into the open waters is another fun option.

It’s time to get outdoors and enjoy the beautiful beaches of Greater Fort Lauderdale.
