Best Outdoor Activities in Kendale Lakes

"Shark Valley Tram Tours offers two-hour guided tours of the paved loop trail that runs 15 miles through the Everglades from the Shark Valley Visitors Center. This is a great way to spot some wildlife and get a high-level perspective of the park from the Observation Tower at the loop's most distant point. If you're planning on visiting during the park's busy season (December through April), be sure that you call ahead for a reservation."

"The two-hour tram tour is the best way to tour through the area. A naturalist is aboard the tram who educates about the ecosystem of the wetland, the animals found in the region and the diverse plants present. The tram takes along the Tram Road Trail."

"Part vintage surf shack, part sultry outdoor club, Hyde Beach at SLS South Beach hotel is a prime spot to rub elbows with the young and fabulous of South Beach beneath string lighting and palm trees. Inside the bar, you’ll find VIP tables, a DJ booth and dance floor, while outdoors there’s a sprawling space to mix and mingle in the fresh air by the swimming pools. For a debauched weekend daytime pool party, this is one of the hottest scenes in town."

"Hyde Beach offers artful mixology and cuisine from Jose Andrés — all in an over 8,000 square-foot indoor/outdoor space with a gorgeous pool and beach access."

"For those of you who want a little more variety (or for those that don't like shopping), you can stop at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, where there is something for everyone. Guests have the option to enjoy the casino, horse racing, live entertainment and more."

"Tierra Santa Healing House Photo: Courtesy Faena Miami Beach. Though the name translates to “holy ground healing house,” you don’t have to be a soul-meets-body yogi to appreciate the experience at Faena Miami Beach’s 22,000-square-foot Tierra Santa Healing House spa. In fact, there are just as many beauty and skincare offerings as there are “healing arts.” The spa has partnered with both all-natural cult-favorite Naturopathica (cleansing facials are standouts) and French heritage brand Biologique Recherche (try the micro-needling treatment) to give its treatments a science-backed kick."

"The spectacular addition to the iconic Eden Roc Hotel, now known as the Nobu Eden Roc Hotel Miami Beach, features an extraordinary spa that focuses on taking each guest on a sensory journey, focusing on the mind, body and spirit. The 22,000 square-foot oceanfront facility is a full-service spa equipped with 18 treatment rooms, a custom scrub bar, cold plunges, sauna & steam rooms, a hydrotherapy circuit, a relaxation salon, VIP cabanas and a state-of-the art gym. The experience is heightened to a truly holistic experience with the incorporation of new ESPA treatments, Nobu-inspired stretching rituals and the purity of Natura Bissé skincare products, that all curate the ultimate restorative experience."

"Splurge on an oceanfront view room at Eden Roc, a historical wonder that blends nostalgic glamour with plush modern comforts. Unwind at a cabana at one of their three sumptious pools, or enjoy resort activities like jet skiing and nature trails. You don’t even need to be a guest to slip into luxury at their world class spa, a serene playground offering massages, facials and other spoil-you-silly services."

"Once a 1930s-era gas station and later a 1980s diner, this oyster bar has become quite a hit with folks in Edgewater, and the adjacent Midtown and Wynwood neighborhoods. Owned by Blue Collar's own Danny Serfer and Ryan Roman, it's the perfect spot to satiate your seafood cravings. Peel-and-eat shrimp, caviar, rainbow trout, seared scallops, crab cakes, and oysters both raw and Rockefeller are all on the menu."

"Cooking in a state surrounded on three sides by water, Florida chefs typically know a thing or two about seafood. Opened in mid-2014 by Miami natives, Edgewater restaurant Mignonette makes a splash with its modern take on the traditional oyster bar. With an old-Florida-meets-New-Orleans vibe, the space features tufted camel-colored banquettes, a long marble bar and oversize arched windows with palm views."

"Come by and enjoy the wonderful ambiance alongside unforgettable food at Mignonette. Here, you’ll find a varied seafood menu, including an assortment of oysters, seafood towers and an extensive wine and beer menu. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation to ensure they have a seat when you stop in."

"I haven’t enjoy myself with Traditional middle eastern food in a long time because is very difficult to find the spot in Miami that delivers 100%."

"Another striking art deco icon on Collins Avenue is The Delano. If the McAlpin is the flamboyant cousin, The Delano is its elegant counterpart. Inspired by the modernist trend of 1947, this oceanfront hotel has art deco elements but also crosses into the Miami Modern style with its brilliant white frontage and beautiful angles."

"Description: Delano South Beach is a luxury boutique hotel that balances eclectic details with grand public spaces that are playful, elegant, quietly theatrical and filled with all-night energy - proof that the new rules of chic are simplicity with a crisp, clean and modern sense of ease."

"What used to be the Florida Room has now morphed into FDR at Miami's famed and iconic Delano Hotel. Beautiful people lurk flawlessly at this underground club, which feels much like an exclusive hideaway with an alluring dark and sexy feel. The dance...[Learn more]"
