If you are looking for a happening destination with a cool crowd then Miami is the place to visit. Besides warm beaches, beautiful palm trees and cool ocean breeze the city will amaze you by its liveliness. Miami is a place where going once is not enough.
Here are few of my recommendations for things to do while you are in Miami.
1. South Beach
This is the main beach of Miami and is always full of tourists and local residents. You will find people enjoying ocean waves and few doing water activities. On Lincoln road which is like a block away from main South beach, you can find many nice restaurants, shops and night clubs. This is the most happening area of Miami.
2. Biscayne Bay
If you want to see the Miami skyline and take some beautiful pictures then Biscayne Bay is worth going. This is a quiet place where you can sit and enjoy along with the beauty of both city and water. South Pointe Park which is on the south end of Miami beach is also very beautiful and is worth going.
3. Downtown Miami and Bay Front Park
Driving to downtown Miami from South beach is a fun thing to do as you will see the beautiful city full of palm trees. I would recommend using highway 41 to drive from Miami Beach to downtown. Drive is beautiful and you can stop to see Parrot Jungle if that interests you. Once you are in downtown, you can take cruises which start from Biscayne Bay and show you the city from water. Bay front park is another cool place where you can spend some time.
4. Rent a scooter
Seeing whole of Miami beach on a scooter is totally safe and is lot of fun. You can easily find scooter parking at most places and can explore places which are hard to explore on car. We rented a scooter for 3 hours and could cover all the places we wanted to see.
5. Restaurants
The whole South Beach area is full of restaurants and eating outside in the nice weather of Miami is something no one wants to miss. Other than delicious food the service they provide at South Beach makes your dinner even more delicious.
Key West
For a breath taking views and awesome water activities plus beaches, head south to Key West which is 5-6 hours from Miami by car. If you can afford it, I will recommend renting a convertible in Miami. Driving to Key West in a convertible is totally worth the extra money you will spend . On the way to Key West you will cross many bridges and it looks very beautiful when you see ocean around you. Key West is a small town where you will find more tourists than residents. I would recommend spending at least a day there. Most of the water activities end by 6 PM. So if you are into water sports then plan your visit accordingly. You don’t need for water activities online. If you walk around the downtown, you will easily find tours and other water activities right there and then.
I hope you have a great time in Miami and Key West and don’t forget your sunscreen lotion
