Pompano Paradise

A March 2003 trip to Pompano Beach by guanacay37

Quote: Pompano Beach was a perfect mid-March escape from the 2 feet of snow in southern Connecticut. The weather was gorgeous, an average temperature 85 degrees and water temp of a warm 79 degrees! Despite warnings of "wild spring breakers," we had no troubles there. Pompano and Lauderdale are wonderful places to kick-back and get some much needed sunshine.

Sea Gardens Beach and Tennis Resort Best of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Sea Gardens Beach & Tennis Resort"

Quote:
Best Things Nearby:The best thing about this timeshare was being only 15 miles from Ft. Lauderdale airport and an easy trip down A1A to get there (thus avoiding Rte. 95!)Lots of fine restaurants to chose from at reasonable prices.Best Things About the Resort:We enjoyed the laid back atmosphere of Sea Gardens - plenty of scheduled activities either free or at reasonable prices, yet not a frenzied atmosphere. It was very easy to just kickback and enjoy the pools and beach.Resort Experience:We were very pleased to see the size of the one bedroom unit we were assigned to. It had an eat-in kitchen with stove and microwave, a dining area and a spacious living room. ...Read More

Shooters Waterfront Cafe USA Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Shooters Watefront Cafe USA"

Quote:
Shooters sits directly on the intercoastal waterway with water taxi service available from Ft. Lauderdale. You can also dock your own boat. Shooters is a huge restaurant with both indoor and outdoor dining and an enormous bar for socializing with friends.

During the week they have 2-for-1 drinks from 4-7pm and $9.99 early bird specials until 6pm. The early bird was a great deal--large portions including salad and coffee. The menu is varied and large with an equally appetizing lunch menu.

Vacation means outside, waterfront dining and I can't think of a better place to be. We'll definitely put this on our visit again list for good, reasonable dining.

Butterfly World Best of IgoUgo

Attraction

Quote:
Butterfly World is a series of fenced-in gardens with a wide variety of butterflies, hummingbirds, and flowers at each turn. You can take your time on a self-guided tour and re-enter favorite parts at your leisure. Don't forget your camera!

My 15-year-old son was not thrilled when told of where we were headed, however, even he enjoyed the day. Plan on about 2 hours plus to explore the place. It is handicapped accessible and discount coupons are available in all the guide books.
