All that glitters is on Florida's Gold Coast, where fine dining, exclusive shopping,
world-class golfing and shimmering nightlife are the rule rather than the exception.
This culture of excess makes for an exciting glimpse into the lifestyles of the rich
and glamorous.
In Fort Lauderdale, Miami's glitzy northern neighbor, luxury cars line the streets
in front of trendy boutiques and bistros, and visitors might just find themselves
sharing a latte with a celebrity or two.
But with 300 miles of inland waterways and 23 miles of beckoning Atlantic Ocean beaches
to explore, you can't blame the rich and famous for also wanting to make "the Venice
of America" their vacation home.
Centrally located between Miami and Palm Beach lies Pompano Beach, the "Heart of the
Gold Coast" and perhaps the best locale for launching a bevy of water sports activities.
A coral reef lies just offshore, along with swordfish and other trophy fish just waiting
to be reeled in.
An outdoor Olympic-size swimming pool, a whirlpool, two shuffleboard courts, and a
tennis court all await guests of Surf Rider Resort Condominium. This resort is located
across the street from the At ... Read More >>
