The tour begins where the city shucks its daytime calm: the Westin lobby, the group converges, and within minutes the Atlantic’s roar rises above the traffic. Fort Lauderdale Beach unfurls as a long ribbon of pale sand and a promenade where palms tilt like slow metronomes. The guide leads the way, steering a small group along the boardwalk and through blocks of pastel art deco and low-slung restaurants, stopping at four curated food stations and pouring craft cocktails as the ocean dares you to slow down and listen.
