The Gallery at Beach Place is a beautiful open-air shopping & entertainment destination located on Highway A1A in Ft. Lauderdale. This is a fun place which provides the visitors with options in shopping, dining, live musical performances and various events. The atmosphere here is tropical and breezy with the Atlantic Ocean directly across the street. The view from here is simply awesome.  Take a dip in the ocean and come here directly to pick up sundries and snacks at the CVS or grab a cold drink and a hot meal at one of the many restaurants like Sangria's or Tequila Joe's. Under the soothing rays of the South Florida sun, you can browse through the neat collection of merchandise or just people watch while enjoying a Hagaan Daaz ice cream.  The Sonic restaurant onsite has a liquor license and has a refreshing blue coconut slushie concoctions as well as their usual family-friendly fare.  Occaisionally there is live entertainment playing music in the courtyard area.  The Marriott Beach Place Towers timeshare is part of the complex and shares the parking garage with the Gallery.  Consider parking across the street at the Las Olas Beach Club where parking is a flat rate for the day.
