What to do In Miami, FL

Miami is Florida's pulsating heartbeat, a seductively sunny and beautifully bright locale that calls loudly for attention and deserves every ounce it receives. Heed the call and head to the city's famous beaches to lounge with unabashedly near-naked tourists; tour the Art Deco treasures of Miami Beach, camera in hand to capture their gleaming architectural glory; and dance all night in one of the city's scores of hyper-effervescent clubs. Miami vacations show you a side to the United States that you won't see anywhere else, when neon and nature blend so nicely, and where the conga and nearby coral reefs compete for your attention.

Things to Do in Miami

Miami's famous skyline is buttressed by marinas and waterways, which bring up the underwater treasures of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean alongside land-based Miami attractions. Your itinerary can include snorkeling and sailing, deep-sea fishing and diving. Dive spots off the barrier islands of Miami Beach catch the uppermost reaches of the Florida reef. Submerge yourself with kaleidoscopic schools of tropical fish darting out of the way of your slow-motion movements. Back on dry land, sun yourself on the palm-fringed sands of Lummus Park, or shop and dine along the Miracle Mile. Many of the finest Miami hotels line South Beach, where Ocean Drive is the epicenter of the sunning-and-clubbing side of the city's culture. Another equally well-known side is showcased in Little Havana, where Versailles Restaurant and other culinary institutions of the community offer you a taste of signature croquetas, soft, savory morsels flecked with salty ham and fried to a crisp. Follow them with strong Cuban coffee that will wake you up and have you raring to see the rest of Miami.
