My boyfriend and I headed down to Miami, Florida for a quick getaway in August and let me tell you…it was HOT. I don’t recommend visiting Miami in the summer – the ocean feels like a bath! However, we still had a great time and loved visiting this colorful and fun beach city for the first time.
I hope you enjoy this guide to Miami!
WHERE TO STAY
We stayed right in South Beach at the Delano South Beach Hotel. It was in the perfect location, with nice clean white rooms. It also had a great pool area and designated lounge chairs on the beach.
The view from our room was beautiful!
WHERE TO EAT
We had one fantastic dinner at Lure Fishbar, a seafood restaurant right next to our hotel.
On another night, we had dinner at SUSHISAMBA on Lincoln Road with our friends who were also in Miami. It was delicious!
WHAT TO DO
Definitely spend some time on Lincoln Road, a street filled with shops and restaurants at the heart of South Beach. It’s the perfect place to shop during the day and have dinner and drinks at night! Make sure to stop by Dylan’s Candy Bar.
Another fun street to wander is Ocean Drive. It runs along the beach and it’s another great spot to shop, eat and people watch.
We also went parasailing one day. I highly recommend parasailing, it’s so much fun! You don’t necessarily need to do it in Miami but we thought “hey, why not?”.
Our friend’s family has a condo in Sunny Isles Beach, so we also spent some time there. It is absolutely beautiful and much less crowded than South Beach. I recommend visiting/staying if you are in the area and looking for a quieter spot.
I hope you enjoyed this quick guide to Miami!
