Miami Beach

This section of Miami Beach has become synonymous with Miami, for better or worse. Packed to the gills with beach-goers, club-seekers, tourists and locals alike, come to South Beach for eye-candy, alcohol, and sun. Whether you spend all day in the water and on the sandy beach or simply hang out across the street at a restaurant, hotel or bar with a water view, South Beach is a place to see and be seen, relax, party, and enjoy some of the most ridiculous and raucous activities Miami has to offer. Expect crowds and limited parking-- bikes recommended!

Visit Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, the villa that Queen Elizabeth and Pope John Paul II have visited in the past. You can spend hours exploring the 10 acres that the villa sits on. Take walks through the gardens, spend some time at the waterfalls and fountains, and take pictures at the reflecting pools. You can walk between the stone balustrades that hold decorative urns filled with flowers from the region. After looking around the grounds, you can then spend time exploring the 34 rooms that are designed in a Renaissance style.
