Places I can't miss around Miami - Key West area?
15 years ago, June 20th 2008 No: 1 Msg: #39393  
Hello all,

I will be visiting Florida in July for 4-5 days. I have a rough plan of visiting Miami and drive down further south to Key West. I am interest in visiting Dry Tortugas, Everglades, and Biscayne national parks. Also, into watersports, snorkeling, etc.

Any suggestions? Beaches I can't miss? Activities I must do? Places I must visit?

Thanks in advance!

South Beach and Hollywood beach are pretty. Anything in the keys is paradise. Reply to this

I will recommend Fort lauderdale, Isla Morada Tiki Bar, Key West is a great option.
If you want more 'entertainment' I would go to SOBE ( south beach)Miami/ Miami Beach.
There are plenty of places where you can rent kayaks, and watersports. Fort Lauderdale offers great watersports.
If you are in the mood of walking during the nighttime I would recommend -in Miami- Lincoln Road. You have plenty of restaurants.
And if you are planning to go to Fort Lauderdale, I would def. recommend Las Olas Blvd.
A great place to do Kayak is the Oleta Park, located in the city of Aventura. 15 min (north) from Miami Downtown. Or Coconut Grove is offering kayak for $10 an hour , the place is called ' Shake a leg'http://www.shakealegmiami.org/site/c.kkLUJbMQKpH/b.2521699/ .
Also you can find some info about parks http://www.floridastateparks.org/
