Landmarks

  • The Lauderdale Beach Hotel expansion: Looking toward the left-center foreground, you can see the distinctive mid-century high-rise additions to the classic hotel properties along North Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard (A1A).
  • The Horizon Line Development: Looking north up the coastline toward Galt Ocean Mile, the dense wall of high-rise condominium towers is heavily established. This sprawling beachfront high-rise boom rapidly accelerated between 1966 and 1971.
  • Automobile Styles: The vintage cars parked horizontally along the sandy beach highway parking strip feature the distinctively elongated, squared-off body shapes of late-1960s American models.
