It’s the season of catching rays, making memories and sharing salty kisses.
Welcome to June! School is officially out, and the joyful anticipation of summer vacation has arrived in full force. Whether it’s the sound of kids racing toward the beach, the crashing of the waves or the excitement of families planning adventures, there’s something uniquely thrilling about this time of year.
Summer in our beautiful city means endless possibilities. It’s the perfect time to explore, unwind and enjoy the simple pleasures that make Fort Lauderdale an exceptional place to live.
Our centerpiece feature, “Beneath the Surface,” investigates Florida’s alarming coral bleaching phenomenon. This detailed exploration reveals what scientists are uncovering about coral resilience and vulnerability, and highlights the essential strategies they’re developing to protect these delicate ecosystems. Our reefs’ health impacts not only marine life but also our local economy and lifestyle, emphasizing how crucial our collective efforts are in preserving these natural treasures.
Of course, summer wouldn’t be complete without indulging in delicious local treats. In this issue, we’ve taken the guesswork out of finding the area’s best donuts by showcasing a selection of exceptional shops around Fort Lauderdale. Each establishment offers something uniquely flavorful, from innovative gourmet creations to classic favorites. Visit these spots to sweeten your summer mornings and add a tasty tradition to your family’s routine.
We also invite you to experience the culinary creativity at TIMBR, the new dining sensation that transforms eating into an immersive event. It isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an artistic and sensory exploration. With imaginative dishes, captivating presentations and an unmatched ambiance, TIMBR offers an unforgettable dining experience.
Finally, we also honor Father’s Day, a special occasion filled with gratitude. This month, I especially appreciate my own father, whose tireless work ethic, unwavering strength and endless wisdom continue to inspire me. Equally admirable is my husband, whose remarkable dedication and love define fatherhood for our children.
Here’s to all the extraordinary fathers and paternal figures who shape our lives and make every day special. All of us at Fort Lauderdale Magazine wish you a summer filled with adventure, joy and moments to treasure.
