Centered on the Location of This Marina:
The New River Docks (also owned by Ft. Lauderdale) are slightly less expensive, but you have the opportunity to give back to the community by making friends with the people who sleep/live in the park (and there are some interesting people there – and I’m not saying that in a bad way).

went to the wall on the New River for 3 weeks! The guys are wonderful and so accommodating~~Matt, the harbormaster, Kevin, and Joe, in particular. It was a cocophany of sounds and sights with a constant parade of people on one side and boats on the other. We were across the river from the jail—right in the middle of downtown and a couple miles to the beach. Everything we needed—Sailorman, West Marine, Boat Owner’s Warehouse, was within bike riding distance. We were also walking distance to the Broward Performing Arts Center (which we took advantage of one evening) and museum and discovery center. For your next guide—a tiny little convenience store, My Market, has the most incredible subs we’ve ever tasted!!! It’s on 17th, just a block or two across the tracks. They also have salads, etc., for take-out.
Thanks for all your help.
