Wreck Bar Mermaid Show

Built in the 1950's, the Yankee Clipper Hotel is an interesting attraction by itself -- located right on Ft. Lauderdale Beach, as it is shaped to resemble a large ship.

Inside, you will find the Wreck Bar, an oasis of nautical kitsch resembling the interior of a ship wreck, complete with aquariums and briny decor throughout. Then there is also an extra bonus- large portholes that look into the hotel's pool from behind the bar. Friday evenings, a live "mermaid" named Marina swims past the portholes, offering patrons a view of a more unusual Florida aquatic species.
