Local Tips from the travel experts
Handpicked tips from top-rated activities in Miami to help you make the most of your visit.
"Bring sunscreen and a hat for the afternoon sun.If you want photos, the early afternoon light is good and crowds are lighter than sunset."
Stroll Ocean Drive & South Beach (light walk)
"Wear light layers and carry a small water bottle—the gardens are shaded but walking between points can be warm in midday sun.Use benches and garden walls for gentle calf and quad stretches; the grounds are smooth and runner-friendly for low-impact recovery.Secure your valuables in the museum lockers if you plan to jog a short loop afterwards around the neighborhood."
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens: cultural cooldown & walking exploration
"Outdoor seating is prime for people-watching; expect a wait at peak times.Good spot for a longer relaxed lunch before the afternoon transfer.Their menu includes sandwiches, salads, and daily specials."
Lunch: Greenstreet Cafe (Coconut Grove)
"Use the public restrooms and outdoor showers to rinse salt and cool down—ideal before heading into town.Soft sand is a great calf and ankle recovery; 5–10 minutes barefoot walking helps mobility after longer runs.There are shaded pavilions—use them for foam-rolling away from sun exposure in November if the midday sun is strong."
Beach cooldown & stretch: Crandon Park Beach
"Several galleries close around 5–6 PM, so plan primary gallery stops earlier.Ask gallery staff about local artist openings or upcoming events.Wynwood often hosts pop-ups — check nearby courtyard schedules if interested."
Browse Wynwood galleries and design shops
"Great spot for photos of the bay and city skyline.There are shaded benches for a quick rest.Keep an eye on weather; afternoon sun can be strong."
Stroll Maurice A. Ferré Park (Museum Park) waterfront
"A good spot for boutique shopping or quick gelato.The Grove is shade-friendly; bring a light jacket if breezy by the bay.CocoWalk is a compact, central starting point for the stroll."
Stroll Coconut Grove / CocoWalk
"Wear comfortable shoes; photography is great in morning light.Some murals change frequently; check for special exhibitions at the Walls.Small galleries nearby often have quick exhibits worth popping into."
Wynwood Walls & mural walk
"Take short walking loops between walls to keep blood flowing; avoid running through crowded mural blocks.Bring a refillable bottle—there are cafés nearby to top off water between stops.Wynwood is best mid-morning (less street vendor congestion) for unobstructed mural photos and safer foot traffic for runners."
