Gold Coast holiday guide
Our Gold Coast Florida holiday guide has ideas for things to do during your stay. Don’t miss Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale where you’ll find hip fashion and lively restaurants. Discover Palm Beach’s amazing artificial diving reefs and Boca Raton’s quaint Mediterranean architecture.
Feast and enjoy
One of the most satisfying things to do during a Gold Coast Florida holiday is to discover the area’s culinary delights. The Gold Coast’s restaurants are full of tempting treats and there are plenty to choose from. You won’t want to miss dynamic and chic Las Olas Boulevard – there's a strong showing of Mediterranean-influenced pavement cafés. Boca Raton's restaurants are generally quieter, while Mizner Park has a dozen restaurants of note.
Discover Las Olas
Shop till you drop
Sawgrass Mills exceeds any shopper's wildest dreams. It's one and a half miles long, and shaped like an alligator filled with 400 shops from Levi's Outlet to Donna Karan Co. Store. Best of all, everything is deeply discounted with between 20-80% off. The food outlets and education and amusement centre will keep the kids happy while you browse.
Bigger spenders should drive to Palm Beach for a day on Worth Avenue – you’ll find art galleries alongside Cartier and other quality jewellers, Bottega Veneta and Louis Vuitton, Pratesi Linens and fashions from Chanel to Sonia Rykiel.
