It's no secret the animal rescues in South Florida are overwhelmed with homeless and unwanted pets…read morewhich many are unfortunately, euthanized. When wanting to add another fur baby to our family, I started to search rescues for a pup. I found a cute little ball of fluff on Animal Aid's website and arranged a meet and greet and also checked out the other pups there. (They also have cats for fans of felines). The adoption price includes all shots, spay/neuter and a box of flea/tick/heartworm meds. If you already have your four pawed furball, they also provide low-cost spay/neuter services. As a not-for-profit rescue, donations, volunteers, and animal adoptions help save lives of pets that would otherwise face a bleak future, if a future at all. If you are interested in adopting, complete an adoption form online and once approved, either make an appointment to see your next companion. As a heads up, the location is small, so an appointment may be your best bet.

The Wilton Collective was previously located across from The Manor but they have relocated into the old Holy Mackerel location in Island City Plaza on 26th St. The large space has an interesting selection of art, jewelry, accessories, clothes, figurines, home goods, and vintage and antique pieces. There is also an event and meeting space that can be rented. They have a Mix & Mingle event at their bar every Friday from 6:30-8PM. I loved the Florida prints, especially the alligators and mermaids and they had my beloved vintage Pyrex dishes. Items ranged from a few dollars to hundreds. The prices I did check seemed reasonable to me. They have such an eclectic mix of beautiful things. I really enjoyed exploring this store.

The Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Chamber of Commerce promotes and supports the local business community…read more This is a nonprofit organization that plays a crucial role in fostering economic growth and development with business advocacy, networking opportunities, community development, and promotion of the local economy. The Chamber of Commerce provides information and resources to those living in the community and to visitors. One of their most important jobs is tourism promotion. The Chamber of Commerce serves as the catalyst for economic prosperity by contributing to the well-being of both the business community and the broader local community. They help visitors to the town discover the meaning of the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea slogan "Relax, you're here." The Chamber of Commerce is located in a quaint historic building along Ocean Boulevard. They can point you to the best places to stay, shop and dine in the "Shore Dive Capital" of Florida. Popular past times include walking the pier, fishing, and relaxing in an Adirondack chairs around town. The Chamber of Commerce has a number of brochures, maps, flyers, and coupons to the different businesses in town as well as magazines and local papers like The Pelican. On the day I visited the ladies working were very friendly and eager to assist. Even as a local I learned something new. There is an upcoming event, the Lauderdale-By-The-Sea Garden Club Fundraiser that I am interested in attending and a Farmer's Market held in El Prado Park. Unfortunately the Chamber of Commerce is only open during the week or I would probably stop by more often.

It's located on A1A, maybe about 3 or 4 blocks from the main intersection of Commercial and A1A. Not a far walk or drive from the many restaurants, bars and hotels in the area. The place is not too big, but they do have lots of information on things to do in LBTS as well as people to help if you have any questions. The center also have many coupons for restaurants and attractions in the area. Why visit this town???? If there was ever a Norman Rockwell-style painting done of a South Florida beach town, it would look like Lauderdale-By-The-Sea. This cozy little village exudes retro Florida charm with its low-rise buildings and mid-century style architecture. Not only is the 2.5 mile beach beautiful and unspoiled, but you can snorkel or dive right from shore. Recognized as "South Florida's Beach Diving Capital," the near-shore reefs are just 100 yards off the coastline. In fact, the 1900 SS Copenhagen steamship shipwreck is now the most-visited Underwater Archaeological Preserve in Florida, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The downtown Beach Pavilion and plazas are right alongside the beach and stretch for several blocks west, past State Road A1A. It's a haven for people-watching and socializing. Hotels, shops, restaurants, ice cream parlors and live entertainment are all within breezy walking distance. You can rent a bike or hop on the free "around Town" Pelican Hopper bus. All this information for all these attractions and more can be found here at the Chamber of Commerce Visitor center.
