The world-famous Fort Lauderdale Beach stretches for just over three miles, from south of Oakland Park Boulevard to Las Olas Boulevard. The beach earned its reputation during the '60s as a top destination for spring breakers. While it's since been surpassed as a spring-break destination by places like Panama City Beach and Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale Beach still attracts many college students, as well as tourists and locals who like to take advantage of the sand, surf and wide sidewalks perfect for biking and rollerblading. Another reason Fort Lauderdale Beach is popular is the surrounding area, which features BeachPlace, a haven of bars and restaurants right across A1A, as well as the legendary Elbo Room, which has held the corner of Las Olas and A1A since the 1930s.
