Miami Day Trips
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.
Everglades National Park
The largest subtropical wilderness in the country is a refuge for alligators, American crocodiles and over 20 species of wading birds. It's a 45-minute drive to the park's Shark Valley entrance where biking is the most popular activity, or an hour to the more-developed Homestead section, which has canoe trails and camping.
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. Weekend traffic jams aren't uncommon on the three-hour drive to the southernmost tip, Key West, but the bridges linking the islands provide gorgeous vistas across turquoise waters.
