Your Miami Vacation – What to Do

25 Oct

Miami is such an exciting and fun place to visit that you’re not likely to run out of great things to do here. The amazing beaches, attractions, restaurants and clubs are seemingly endless!

Beaches

Head out to the Hollywood Beach Boardwalk. It’s a popular and great place for tourists. Do nothing but people watch, or hike, bike or rollerblade around the boardwalk. There are miles of great beaches as well as clubs, restaurants and pretty much something for everyone down here.

The beach at the Bill Baggs State Recreation Area on South Crandon Boulevard in Key Biscayne is Top 10 material. It’s been voted one of the best beaches in the United States. The area is known for its scenery and nature trails. You’ll find some interesting seafood eateries nearby.

Tourist Attractions

The Monkey Jungle puts a great twist on the conventional zoo approach. Here, it’s the humans that are in cages! You can watch the monkeys roam in a wildlife refuge while you stand in a cage and learn about these amazing animals.

You’ll find more than just birds at Parrot Island. Located on Watson Island, this attraction features trails and an Everglades habitat with wildlife native to Florida. You’ll find some snakes and alligators, but the main attraction is thousands of colourful parrots and flamingos. Try and see the one-of-a-kind bird show.

Restaurants & Nightlife

Miami is famed for its diverse cuisine. For strip mall casual style on SW 40th Street, but exceptional Chinese food that includes Dim Sum Sundays, the Tropical Chinese Restaurant may be the perfect choice. This place is usually crowded though, especially on weekends. Luckily, there is no shortage of great eateries all over Miami!

Set on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach is almost impossible to get into as it’s a popular hangout for the likes of Jamie Foxx. Still, you could try in advance to get on their guest list. If not, there are many other nightclubs in Miami you’re sure to love. The interesting thing about Set though is that it has no dance floor because everyone dances on tables and sofas!
