What's Around Miami?

Mention Miami, and most will imagine the art deco clubs and hotels along Ocean Drive in South Beach. Sure, there are neon-studded clubs that stay open until 5 a.m., however South Beach (SoBe) is much more than a stretch of road for tourists. A thriving arts scene, world-class restaurants, high-end shopping and spas are all within reach. Stepping out of the shadows of coastal palm trees and high-rises, visitors and locals tend to forget that Miami is surrounded by national parks. Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park allow visitors to experience the natural ecosystem of Florida, ranging from lush green forests to alligator-filled swamps. A wide variety of wildlife native to Florida still call the parks home.
