Heading to the Tortuga Music Festival this April means a weekend filled with beach time, big-name concerts, and Fort Lauderdale’s signature laid-back energy. Easily moving between the sand and stage is a game-changer, and doing exactly that is one of the biggest perks of staying at B Ocean Resort.
Located steps from the festival grounds, the resort is one of the most convenient hotels close to Tortuga Music Festival, making it easy to enjoy every moment without worrying about logistics. Here’s a simple weekend itinerary to help you maximize music, sunshine, and relaxation.
Friday: Arrival & Opening Night
After traveling, there’s nothing better than dropping your bags, opening the balcony door, and taking in the views from your oceanfront room at B Ocean Resort. Guests looking for a hotel with a private beach in Fort Lauderdale will appreciate how the vacation vibe kicks in instantly.
Spend your afternoon unwinding on the sand or by one of the resort’s two pools. With private beach access and complimentary loungers, it’s the perfect place to ease into the weekend before the party begins.
When you’re ready, take the short walk to the festival grounds. One of the best parts about staying nearby is skipping the traffic and rideshares—just stroll over and jump into the event’s energy.
Opening night typically brings a packed lineup of nationally recognized artists. Friday’s headliner is Post Malone, with featured artists including Dwight Yoakam, Ice Cube, Ashley Cooke, and more. Grab a drink, get the lay of the land, and soak up the atmosphere of this iconic Fort Lauderdale music festival.
Saturday: Festival Fun & Beach Relaxation
After a big first night, start Saturday slowly with coffee and breakfast near the beach. When you’re staying steps away from the festival, you don’t have to rush. Enjoy the sand and surf this morning before heading back to the festival.
Throughout the afternoon and evening, catch non-stop performances from an impressive lineup of artists across multiple stages. Day Two highlights include Riley Green, The Fray, Clay Walker, Afroman, and Tyler Hubbard, best known from Florida Georgia Line. B Ocean Resort puts you close enough to where you can retreat back to your room to recharge before the headlining set or call it a night whenever you’re ready.
When the festival winds down, TortugaFest at B Ocean Resort keeps the night going with live music, cocktails, and laid-back beachfront energy—all just a short walk from the action.
Sunday: One Last Beach Morning
After two days of music, Sunday morning is perfect for savoring the beach. Walk along the shore, sign up for complimentary yoga at the resort, or enjoy a swim before check-out…and go back to the party. The festival closes with a bang, featuring Kenny Chesney, Dustin Lynch, Russell Dickerson, Uncle Kracker, Shane Smith and the Saints, and about a dozen other musicians.
For festival-goers seeking hotels close to Tortuga Music Festival, B Ocean Resort provides the ideal blend of proximity and amenities. The convenient location lets you walk to every performance, but is just far enough away to relax afterward.
Whether you come for the music, the beach, or both, spending the weekend here lets you experience the very best of this unforgettable Fort Lauderdale music festival. Book your stay at B Ocean Resort now to secure your spot close to the action and make the most of your festival weekend.
