You can also trade the unparalleled people-watching of South Beach for the sweeping views at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. Nestled on southern Key Biscayne, this picturesque state park is best enjoyed from atop the famous Cape Florida Light. This historic lighthouse was built in 1825 to help ships navigate the Florida reef and is the oldest structure in Miami-Dade County. The Cape Florida Light offers its own beaches, as well as bicycling, hiking, swimming, snorkeling, and wildlife viewing. Head over to the on-site nature museum to learn more about this beautiful and unique landscape.

A visit to Miami isn’t complete without exploring Little Havana. Thanks to the large Cuban population, Miami offers an incredible array of landmarks dedicated to Cuban culture. Calle Ocho, Jose Marti Park, and Plaza de la Cubanidad are just a few of the must-see stops in this vibrant neighborhood. Don’t forget to have a snack or meal at one of the cafes, which offer some of the best Cuban food this side of the Caribbean. Take your pick of traditional dishes or the classic Cuban Sandwich. No matter what you choose, your taste buds will thank you.
