10 Reasons Why It's Worth Visiting Miami Beach

Miami Beach in Florida has one of the most exquisite coastlines in all of America, making it a vacation hotspot. The golden beaches and the blue waters of Miami Beach offer visitors plenty outdoor activities for the whole family.

1. The Everglades National Park is a fascinating ecosystem. It is a flooded wetland stretching down to the mangrove islands in the south and is home to 14 endangered species of animals, including the West Indian Manatee, the American Crocodile and the Florida Panther. The Everglades have always been a popular location for film shoots and stories often revolve around the crocodiles that are found here.

2. The opportunity to explore Biscayne Bay is unparalleled. To race across the turquoise blue waters in a boat, under the brilliant blue sky, is an exhilarating experience.

3. The bustling South Beach is a must for all travellers, with its celebrities and jet setters out on the town. This beautiful beach is a popular spot for photo shoots and the area has a lot of night clubs and restaurants. This is a fairly high profile location.

4. The Art Deco Historic District is definitely worth visiting. The area has more than 800 Art Deco buildings that have been restored and can be viewed during a walking tour. The buildings worth visiting are the Miami Beach Post Office, Jerry’s Famous Deli, The Leslie Hotel and the Carlyle Hotel. Visit the Art Deco Welcome Centre for more information.

5. The Miami MetroZoo is one of the first free range zoos in USA. It has animals from Africa, Asia and Australia who are grouped geographically and have not been caged.

There are also vacation homes available for at least six months in a year and suites and hotels for extended stays as well as hostels for travellers on tight budgets.

Beginning with the taxi and shuttle service from the airport, trains are available between Miami and other cities, and buses and hired cars can be arranged locally.
