Walking culinary tour at Fort Lauderdale Beach

• Stroll along Fort Lauderdale Beach
• Taste local food and drinks

The experience

You meet your guide on the Fort Lauderdale Beachfront and spend the next three hours moving between tasting stops, eating and drinking your way through the neighborhood. The walk itself is the point. You're not sitting in one restaurant, but moving through the actual streets and spots where locals eat, so you see how the beach works as a place to live, not just to visit. All the food comes to you as part of the tour price, along with two craft cocktails. A third drink is available if you want it.

The guide is someone who knows the area and can tell you why certain spots matter, what's worth ordering, and how the food scene has shifted over time. You'll taste lunch and dessert across the stops, which means you're eating a real meal, not samples. The beachfront itself, one of Florida's award-winning stretches, is the backdrop, so the walk moves through a place worth being in even if you weren't eating. Three hours is long enough to feel unhurried but short enough to fit into an afternoon if you've landed in town or have a few hours free.

What’s included

• A full lunch and dessert at multiple stops along the beachfront.
• two craft cocktails.
• a local guide leading the walk.
• accessible route throughout the Fort Lauderdale Beachfront.
