    Nice area to enjoy a leisurely stroll
    The Riverwalk area was a very nice area to stroll around and see the immense yachts! We spent about 2-3 hours walking up down and taking the free water trolley from one end to the other. Enjoyed watching all the draw bridges go up and down as yacht after yacht cruised by. Also there are several restaurants where you can sit outside and enjoy a meal or drinks. We parked at the parking deck next to The Wharf and had no issues with security as I've read in other reviews.

    Easy Walk with Free Shuttles
    We took the walk on a Friday about mid day in August. There are lots of yachts to see parked along the water's edge, with several drawbridges. There are few restaurants along the route with several a short distance away. There are free water taxis that can pick you up at select spots and bring you to other locations. The total distance end-to-end is less than a mile. A nice way to spend a couple hours, and do take the taxi for nice ride on the water.

    The Riverwalk is a must see and enjoy while you are in Ft Lauderdale
    The views of the New River and all the boats are amazing. The walkway provides a great way to see the river and enjoy the outside cafes and restaurants along the Riverwalk. The New River Cafe is a must stop for either a coffee or a light lunch. You can get a Water Taxi or the Water Trolley right out side the New River Cafe.

    Great get away
    Enjoyed our beach front walks. Took a Water Taxi Tour. It was very educational and beautiful views of homes and yachts. Walk Los Olas boulevard and experienced the stores. Divers were practicing at the International swimming hall of fame. Many platforms to practice from. Did not tour the museum. Will definitely do that when come back to Fort Lauderdale.

Nice area downtown to go for a walk. Not a lot right on the Riverwalk, but a lot of of interesting boat tours. Not something I would do every time to Fort Lauderdale but nice

We walked between the NSU art museum and the Ft. Lauderdale History museum on the river walk. It was a short walk with stores along the way.

We came down here to shop and eat during our event trip to Fort Lauderdale. We have been to the city several times and somehow had never heard of this. It was a fun atmosphere. There are several shops and trendy restaurants along the main strip. We also went down to the actual riverwalk area where you can see lots of yachts. It’s a fun area and we enjoyed it so much, we did it again the next day.
