From the famed South Beach sands to the laid-back shores of Key Biscayne and North Beach, Miami has a spot -- and a water sport -- for all tastes. Paddle boarders, kayakers and jet skiers line Biscayne Bay all summer long, while parasailers, kite surfers and snorkelers come from far and wide to soak up the sun and gentle surf.
If you’re looking for an international getaway this summer, consider Miami. With more than 20 diverse neighborhoods, Miami radiates a cosmopolitan vibe from every street corner. Browse Haitian music and bookstores in Little Haiti; watch a dominoes game in Little Havana; and visit the Jewish Memorial on South Beach, just for starters.
With inhabitants from all over the world, Miami is a city whose ever-evolving culinary scene reflects its diversity. You can taste your way across this dynamic dining culture during Miami Spice in August and September, when top restaurants throughout the city offer special menus at discounted prices.
Miami's beauty doesn't end with its sought-after tropical landscape: The city’s art scene is booming and far-reaching. This summer, check out the galleries and street murals of the Wynwood Arts District, plus lauded local museums like the Pérez Art Museum Miami in downtown or the newly remodeled Bass Museum in South Beach.
Outside Miami's beach, art and cultural epicenter lies the largest subtropical wilderness area in the U.S. An airboat tour through this natural wonderland is an exciting way to get close to native south Florida wildlife like manatees and alligators, explore pristine landscapes and learn about the region's delicate ecosystems.
