Miami Day Trips

Day Trips

Rent some wheels and cruise over the causeway off the sandbar, to areas like Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Little Havana, and the Everglades. These and other parts of Miami-Dade county, where most of the locals live, get less attention than South Beach but have lots of cool cultural and historic attractions, not to mention the caffeinated, Spanish-accented flavor that has turned the tip of South Florida into the capital of Latin America.

Smart Splurge    Great Value
Everglades National Park

Florida Keys
This chain of hundreds of coral islands, which stretches 150 miles into the Atlantic, represents a laid-back, outdoorsy slice of old Florida, right down to the ubiquitous motels and honky-tonk shell shops.

Fort Lauderdale
Just 30 minutes north of downtown on Interstate 95, this once-sleepy town emerged from its spring-break, college-madness period as a vibrant, revitalized business and vacation center with some wonderful shopping.
