What to do in Miami?

Hitting the beach is an obvious first on your Miami Beach stay! South Beach is the place to be in Miami! The area is full of interesting characters, restaurants, bars and shopping. Most impressively, South Beach is like stepping back in time, with the art deco architecture lining the streets. The beach itself has bright turquoise water that you can walk out super far and still be standing. The sand is so soft you can kick back and relax under an umbrella. Ocean drive can’t be missed with the iconic art deco buildings and neon lights. Vintage cars don’t look out of place at all here. If you’ve had enough of lying under the hot sun, other things to do in Miami include shopping along Collins Ave or stepping into Espanola Way – the charming historic street is tucked away and has the buzz of a historic Spanish village. If you’re not spending long in Florida on your road trip, a day trip out to the Everglades can be done from Miami, allowing you to take in the wilderness of the swamp!
