Miami is known for being a top spot for the rich and famous. Of course that also makes everyone think it’s outrageously expensive. But actually, there are a lot of fun and cool things to do that are free!

Best Time to Visit Miami Beach

Generally speaking the most beautiful time to visit Miami Beach is from November to April. The weather is absolutely gorgeous with sunny skies and temperatures primarily in the 70’s and possibly low 80’S. Of course, it’s also the most popular time to visit, therefore it is more crowed and more expensive. If you’re on a budget or want to avoid large crowds at the beach, then shoot for the shoulder season. This would include October to November, January, and late March through May. Typically the weather is still nice in these time frames, although do keep in mind that October, November and May are part of hurricane season.

Top Things to Do In Miami Beach

Soak Up the Sun at the Beach

Definitely the top thing to do in Miami Beach is the beach! With its sugary white sandy beaches and Caribbean blue water, the beach is a must do. Then grab your suntan lotion, beach towel, and get ready for a fabulous day of fun in the sun.

Cruise on Ocean Drive

Take a drive or a stroll on Ocean Drive to experience the iconic Miami Beach. Not only will you find this place exciting during the day, but at night it truly comes to life with all the neon lights. A photo tour of Miami Beach would not be complete without Ocean Drive.

Shop Till You Drop at Lincoln Road Mall

Indeed shopping in Miami Beach is a thing to do. Lincoln Road Mall is a great spot as well because it’s located on a pedestrian only street full of energy and fun. You can shop, dine, or just people watch as much as you want.

Take an Art Deco Tour

Taking a South Beach Art Deco Tour is an excellent way to discover the best collection of Art Deco style architecture in the world. In addition to admiring the stunning Art Deco buildings, you will also learn about the rich history of Miami.

Enjoy Some Great Food & Culture on Espanola Way

This charming street evokes an old world European charm. It’s kind of a hidden gem, located between 14th Street and 15th Street on Washington Avenue in South Beach. There are cute shops, restaurants and a festive attitude. Of course an Espanola Way Food Tour would be a nice idea too.

Hang in Lummus Park

If you enjoy people watching, then Lummus Park is where you need to be. Located right off Ocean Drive this park has lots happening all the time. Not only can you enjoy a volleyball game, but you can also check out the body builders doing their thing. Not to mention there are folks on bikes, skate boards, walking their dogs and more. Bring your picnic basket and you can just relax on the lawn.

Skate or Bike Down Collins Avenue

Well maybe you don’t want to just people watch. In that case rent a bike, grab your skates and roll down Collins Avenue. In addition to being great exercise, it allows you to truly feel like a local and still see all the sights.

Party on South Beach

Of course your trip tp Miami Beach would not be complete without a night out on South Beach. There’s always something happening in South Beach, but the party comes alive after dark. With endless options you can dance the night way and party till dawn.

Check Out South Pointe Park & Pier

Looking for a great spot to watch the sunset, then South Pointe Park needs to be on your list. Additionally this beautiful park is a locals favorite and features a walkway that takes you from the ocean to the bay. You can even enjoy the park via a Segway Tour.

Walk, Bike or Jog on the Miami Beach Boardwalk

The Miami Beach Boardwalk is a must-see when visiting the Miami, Florida area, not to mention its completely free to enjoy. This gorgeous pathway stretches from the southern point of South Beach northward for about 40 blocks. In addition to beautiful views of the beach on one side, you have views of lavish and historic South Beach hotels and condos on the other. This Miami Beach gem also allows for easy access to the Lincoln Road Mall and Lummus Park.

The Boardwalk offers plenty of places to grab a drink or eat a bite. Plus there are numerous benches to stop and relax on. It is important to note that no bikes are allowed on the Miami Beach Boardwalk north of 21st Street. Most of the path south of 21st Street is bike friendly and will take you to South Beach and beyond.
