When to visit based on price
If looking for the best rates for your visit to Miami Beach, Florida, you should concentrate on the time between months of June and September.Key attractions
One of the key attractions in Miami is South Miami Beach, where you can spend the day being one of the beach beauties showing off your tan, muscled body, or just watching them. This is where the “beautiful people” visit for sun and fun. You can have a wonderful time enjoying the water, some volleyball, or walking the boardwalk. When it’s time for a break, there are many excellent restaurants along the waterfront, as well as outside bars.Take a stroll along Ocean Drive, where you can still view many of the Art Deco buildings made famous back in the 1920’s. Be amazed how they look like they never changed, and one could expect Marilyn Monroe to step out of the front door into her awaiting limo.
Having fun
Fun in Miami Beach is all about the water, sand, sun and fun. This is party central, with non-stop bar activities all night long. However, if you are looking for something different, or a break from the party, there are some interesting and famous places to visit in the area.A visit to the Miami Zoo is a great way to cool off and get some exercise walking around the many exhibits.
Why not take a “Big Bus Tour” with the Miami Hop – Off Tours. You get to choose one of two, 1-½ hour loop tours, and check out landmarks, and attractions. Another tour offered is actually a combo of land and water sights.
Take a lesson and get “onboard” with the fastest growing water sport, Paddleboarding”. You can rent your paddleboard by the hour, half-day or day, and after only a few minutes are paddling the calm waters.
Shopping
Probably the best place to shop mall wise in Miami Beach is the Stores at Lincoln Mall. Here you will find ARMANI, Adidas, French Connection, and Victoria’s Secret, Gap and Banana Republic and more.Of course, the small boutique shops down on the beach and boardwalk are what’s Miami Beach is all about.
Nearby
When one thinks of Southern Florida, one must think of the mystique of the Florida Everglades, with snakes, crocks and panthers, right? So why wouldn’t you want to adventure out of your comfort zone, and go on a boat tour in the famous Florida Everglades. Remember, when the guide tells you to keep your hands in the boat, its time to listen up.Florida is also home to many wild monkeys, and one place to enjoy them in a safe environment, is to visit Monkey Jungle and the Jungle Island. If you or your parents were ever here years ago, Parrot Jungle is now Jungle Island. This is where you can visit with some of the exotic animals and birds native to Florida. It’s also a great place to take outstanding “selfie’s” with parrots and monkeys. One helpful hint, don’t let that parrot sit on your head to long, the results could be messy, but a great portrait.
Why not take a drive down the Florida Keys, either to one of the first Keys, or all the way to the end, where you can sip a cocktail at Ernest Hemmingway’s favorite bar. If you scuba dive, or want to learn, this is your chance, because there’s some excellent diving and wreck diving on the keys.
