About the Gold Coast

Florida's Gold Coast stretches along the southeastern Atlantic coast from West Palm Beach through Fort Lauderdale to Miami. The region is known for its beautiful beaches, upscale shopping, vibrant nightlife, and cultural attractions. Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale is one of the busiest cruise ports in the world.

Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale features 23 miles of beaches, the Las Olas Boulevard dining and shopping district, the Riverwalk arts and entertainment district, and proximity to Port Everglades. The city has transformed from a spring break destination into a sophisticated cultural center with world-class restaurants, galleries, and performing arts venues.

West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach offers the upscale shops of Worth Avenue in Palm Beach, the Norton Museum of Art, the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, and Clematis Street nightlife. The Brightline train connects West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and now Orlando for convenient intercity travel.

Getting There from Central Florida

The Gold Coast is approximately 170 to 200 miles south of Orlando via the Florida Turnpike. The drive takes 3 to 3.5 hours. Brightline train service now connects Orlando International Airport to West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami. BusBrother provides group charter service from Central Florida to Gold Coast destinations.
