September Sun: A Canadian's Dream Escape
Edmonton starts to feel that familiar chill in September, but down in Fort Lauderdale, the sun is still shining brightly at a glorious 26°C with clear skies. This September 12, 2026, departure offers a much-needed dose of warmth and light for just $476 CAD round-trip from Edmonton. It's the perfect time to recharge before the true Canadian winter hits.
Where to Stay in Sunny Fort Lauderdale
For a classic beach town feel, consider staying in the Galt Ocean Mile area. You'll find a range of accommodations, from boutique hotels to condo rentals, often falling between $150 - $250 USD per night for September. If you prefer to be closer to the action and nightlife, Las Olas Boulevard offers stylish hotels and is always a buzzing spot, with prices typically in the $200 - $300 USD per night range. I last stayed near Las Olas a few years ago and loved the easy access to everything.
Taste of Florida and Practical Tips
Don't miss out on fresh Florida seafood, like stone crabs (in season later) or a classic Key Lime Pie, which you can find for around $10-15 USD at many local eateries. For everyday meals, expect to pay $15-25 USD for a good entree. While many places accept cards, having some US cash on hand is always wise for smaller purchases or tips. Getting a local SIM card is straightforward if you need consistent data, but Wi-Fi is widely available. The Broward County Transit bus system is efficient for getting around if you don't rent a car.
