The Mrs. and I are thinking about taking a trip to South Florida this summer to enjoy the beach scenery. We usually go to Destin, but wanted to go somewhere we haven't been We were going thinking Miami, but then saw recent reviews of how dangerous it has gotten; so now we are looking at Ft. Lauderdale.
Anyone have any experience with either of these places?

Used to live in Ft. Lauderdale. How long will you be there? I wasn't much of a partier and mainly went to relax and recreate. My favorite place to go was Hawks Cay It's at milepost 61 in the keys. Nice spa, easy to get out and go snorkeling, scuba diving, or fishing. They had everything you needed there so you didn't have to get back in your car until you were ready to leave.
If you are wanting to be in town I always liked Deerfield Beach personally.

Just booked a really affordable Costco trip to Miami for November. You might want to look into it?
We've never visited either place, but there's no good reason why. Destin is five hours and can often be a pain in the arse. The non stop flight from MSY is just 2 hours so we might go back quite often if we like it.
Regarding danger, are you referring to the isolated event during spring break? I'm wouldn't be too worried about that kind of stuff in mid summer, and especially not during Thanksgiving.

I would do Lauderdale and just rent a car for a day and check out places. Miami has gotten trashy in a lot of spots. I would take a drive up and down A1A both ways and check out Hollywood Beach, Bal Harbor and South beach going South and Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Palm Beach to the North. Lost of little towns along the coast in between.

if you want the best beach, skip them both and go to Siesta Key/Sarasota

Last time I was there was when the Saints were in the Super Bowl. South Beach was the place to be.

Go to fort Lauderdale and stay at the pelican Grand. Fort Lauderdale is more chill and Miami is kind of trashy.
