THINGS TO DO IN MIAMI
Miami Beach is a south Florida island city, connected by bridges to mainland Miami. Wide beaches with clear blue water and white powdery sand stretch from North Shore Open Space Park, past palm-lined Lummus Park to South Pointe Park. Sit back and relax or visit one of the many rentals in town for boats, jet skis, paddle boards, kayaks and more if you are looking for a little bit more adventure on the water!
This revitalized, urban Miami hotspot is home to many local restaurants, food halls, art galleries, retail stores, breweries, eclectic bars and one of the largest open-air street-art installations in the world.

Superblue is a rotating collection of interactive art installations. The immersive, technology-driven museum in Miami’s industrial Allapattah neighborhood is far more than a series of installations for people to stroll through and admire. It’s a place where guests can affect the art around them, and be as much a part of the show as the works filling the walls.
The Rubell Museum, directly scross the street from Superblue, is one of the biggest private contemporary art collections in the world. Encompassing 7,200 works by more than 1,000 artists—and still growing, the museum is also home to Leku, a Basque restaurant that has been named one of the best restaurants in Miami.
