Las Olas Boulevard

Las Olas Boulevard is a popular thoroughfare in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States that runs from Andrews Avenue in the Central Business District to A1A and Fort Lauderdale Beach. The easternmost section of the boulevard is interlaced with canals and waterfront homes. The commercial stretch, approximately 1-mile in length, features cool sub-tropical breezeways and courtyards with bars, nightclubs, bridal stores, shops, boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and the Riverside Hotel. The name "Las Olas" means "The Waves" in Spanish. The road once carried the designations of State Road A1A Alt. and State Road 842.

Las Olas has its own historic house, a museum of art, a nearby IMAX cinema and an art house movie theater within a short walk. Las Olas Boulevard can be accessed by the Fort Lauderdale water taxi. The boulevard is a popular dining and shopping destination for locals and visitors as it is situated close to Fort Lauderdale Beach, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades. The $49 million Las Olas Oceanside Park project at the intersection of Florida State Road A1A and Las Olas Boulevard, which construction began in June of 2017, replaced the original site of a parking lot. This project provided a 650-space parking garage behind and a beachfront park and plaza in its original place completed in 2020. The park hosts a variety of events, including farmers markets, fitness and art events.
