Rich rewards await people who head to property in Florida, whether they stay inland or on the 23 miles of beaches that are on offer in the Fort Lauderdale area.

Tourism organisation Visit Florida notes that tourists have been arriving to the region by rail since February 22nd, 1896.

In the 1960s-80s, a craze for taking spring breaks in Florida was sparked by Where The Boys Are.

Now, property in Florida provides the relaxing setting for spa breaks, scuba-diving holidays and fishing trips.

"There’s more to Fort Lauderdale than meets the eye," the organisation asserts.

"It’s hard not to notice the 23 miles of golden, palm-lined beaches and the chic hotels along the sands."

Throughout June, Learn to Dive month gives newcomers to the activity the chance to polish their skills.

Fort Lauderdale’s own tourism site suggests that this means visitors can "look a parrot fish in the eye" while beneath the ocean’s surface.
