"To see how the other half lives, take a stroll through SoFi, the enclave South of Fifth Street and South Pointe Park, known for its hip, elite residents and multi-million-dollar penthouse suites. Eyeball the most vibrant Miami Beach houses and condos, or get a yummy taste of luxury at any number of high-end restaurants along the way. If you’re going to run into a celebrity in Miami Beach, it will probably happen here."

"South Point Park is the best place in Miami to enjoy the sunset. Bring your camera for a late afternoon photo shoot. It‘s a picturesque spot, with walkways, benches, and green spaces that look out over the Gulf."

"Photo courtesy of Greater Miami Conventions and Visitors Bureau. At the most southern point of SoBe, you'll find South Pointe Park. This tranquil stretch of land has something for everyone."

"In addition to 30 acres of green space, Bayfront Park has an amphitheater that has hosted a variety of concerts, from Elton John to Rob Zombie. The park features several memorials, including one to the crew of the Challenger space shuttle. It's also a great place for a stroll or a picnic, so don't forget to bring your camera for the outstanding views of Biscayne Bay and the Port of Miami."

"Few American parks can claim to front such a lovely stretch of turquoise as Biscayne Bay, but Miamians are lucky like that. Noted artist and landscape architect Isamu Noguchi redesigned much of Bayfront Park in... Top ChoiceMuseum in Downtown Miami"

"If you do just one walk in the Everglades, make sure it's on the Anhinga Trail. Gators sun on the shoreline, anhinga spear their prey and wading birds stalk haughtily through the reeds. You'll get a close-up view of wildlife on this short (0.8 mile) trail at the Royal Palm Visitor Center. There are various overlooks, where you can sometimes see dozens of alligators piled together in the day."

"Located 4 miles from the park entrance, Anhinga Trail is an easy 0.8-mile trail. The path is a boardwalk that traverses through a freshwater marsh where you can spot alligators and anhinga (a bird on which the trail is named). The black alligators are lying still on the rocks seeming unreal and sometimes difficult to spot."

"The 0.8-mile Anhinga Trail is a self-guided walk through a sawgrass marsh on an easy, paved trail. Like the Gumbo Limbo trail, Anhinga is not open to bicycles but convenient for wheelchairs and strollers. It's almost guaranteed that you'll see some Everglades wildlife when you walk this trail."

"Around 50-minutes from Miami, Shark Valley is one of the best places in the Everglades that’s within easy reach of Miami. Once here, you can explore the trails and the iconic Bobcat Boardwalk that’s totally stunning on a gorgeous sunny day. Though, take lots of water and sunblock with you – that humidity and mosquitos can be tough."

"Shark Valley sounds like it should be the headquarters for the villain in a James Bond movie, but it is in fact a slice of National Park Service grounds heavy with informative signs and knowledgeable rangers...."

"The Gumbo Limbo Trail, accessible from the Royal Palm Visitor Center, offers a self-guided walk through a forest made up primarily of gumbo limbo trees. The trail is a short half-mile and is paved for easy access. Bicycles are not allowed on the trail but visitors in wheelchairs should have no difficulty navigating it."

"Located on SW 328th Street in Homestead, Homestead Bayfront Park offers visitors a variety of outdoor recreation options that are perfect for those looking to spend a little quality time outside soaking up that famous Florida sunshine. Admission to the park is paid on a per-vehicle basis, so it’s an inexpensive option for families looking to maximize the value of their hard-earned travel dollars. Parking for buses and RVs is available, though the admission cost is more than twice that of standard passenger cars."

"Spread over 32 acres in Downtown Miami, Bayfront Park is the perfect place to relax, walk, play or exercise. With open lawn spaces, a bay walk, winding walkways, a sandy beach area, special event lighting, VIP seating areas, and a tropical rock garden, this iconic park is home to many attractions from 1926. A walking distance from the bayside marketplace, the park offers several fun activities."

"Soundscape Park is a modern landscaped park that offers outdoor movie events supported by high-tech audio and visual effects. The venue presents a wonderful mix of nature and arts, which gives an atmosphere of lasting calmness. Breathe in the fresh air and watch the swaying branches of the elegant palms in the park."

"Outside of the New World Center, this park is one of the best places for open-air screenings in Miami Beach. During some New World Symphony performances, the outside wall of the Frank Gehry–designed concert hall..."

"You may be able to view a free Wallcast concert or a movie outside in the adjacent SoundScape Park, depending on the symphony’s schedule. Option # 2 - Nightlife"

"The mecca of dog parks, you can bring your pooch here to play in the fenced in green spaces where dogs can get some exercise with other canines. There’s even an outdoor space with fitness equipment, a walking path and a deck to stroll along and enjoy the Miami sights. Located in Coconut Grove just at the water’s edge, it offers a peaceful view of the open bay for a relaxing afternoon."

"Kennedy Park is located in Coconut Grove, right on the water with a view of the open bay, an outdoor gym including a green ladder you can climb up and down, a running path on an outdoor track, and a children’s play area."

"Relocated in the Museum Park of Downtown Miami in 2013, the popular Perez Art Museum Miami, also known as PAMM, is a confluence of culture and art at its best. Designed by the reputed architectural firm Herzog & De Meuron, Perez Art Museum Miami is a three-floored gallery consisting of art displays from Latin America to Africa to the Caribbean. Founded in 1984, earlier PAMM was regarded as the Centre for Fine Arts which continues to collect contemporary artworks of the 20th and 21st centuries."

"Once upon a time, Miami's place for modern art downtown was known as the Miami Art Museum. It was a well-sized museum adjacent to the Government Center and was a mish mash of contemporary and modern art from around the world. But in 2013, the former MAM outgrew its old home and was transported to a waterfront lot that, in conjunction with the soon-to-be-open Patricia and Phillip Frost Science Museum, would become Museum Park."

"Show off your artsy side by posing with one of the awesome art installations inside the Pérez Art Museum or capture its hanging garden and lush garden for some urban-tropical vibes."

It’s popular throughout the world — and Miami — for its gelato paninis, “mountain peak” waffle cones, and light flavors. Available for takeout or sold by the pint at Milam’s Supermarkets."

"This Taiwanese dessert food truck in The Wynwood Yard and at Lincoln Road Mall brings us the shaved ice and ice cream hybrid we never knew we needed. You eat the paper-thin layers of ice cream with a fork instead of a spoon and they’re modeled after Taiwanese “snow dessert.” Their coconut flavor is vegan, and they also have bubble teas.
