Greater Miami offers more fun things to see and do than you can schedule. Enjoy everything from boats and camping to wildlife, sports and local fare. Beyond the fabulous beaches, the

sand and surf, there are countless spots to indulge.

Drop into a local park to see exotic palms, stately trees

and famous vistas. Cruise ships and sailboats glide by

almost close enough to touch. Perch a parrot on your

shoulder for that Miami-perfect selfie. Follow the

lumbering manatees and meet colorful characters like

the ocean air from the comfort of your party boat. Or

study architecture that spans from the 12th to the 21st

centuries at a suburban monastery. In a brand new bay-

front museum, you can see the future of science unveiled

before your eyes.

Miami offers access to four national parks, so it’s the

perfect home base for exploring these natural wonders.

Everglades National Park and Biscayne National

Park are located in Homestead, in South Dade. Free

trolley service connects downtown Homestead to both

parks every weekend from November through April.

A water trolley continues in Biscayne National Park,

with park rangers on board providing information and

island tours.

Big Cypress National Preserve is located just 45 miles

west of Miami, while Dry Tortugas National Park is a few

hundred miles to the southwest.

pink flamingos, white cockatoos and green parrots. Swim

with dolphins or whack golf balls from the beach to the bay.

Play tennis on the courts of champions and then cool off

under the waterfalls and explore the grottoes of a huge

natural pool. If you have any stamina left, take a climb up to

a 19th-century lighthouse for timeless panoramas.

Few places in the world offer experiences like spotting

alligators, spoonbills, storks and herons from an airboat

skipping over the River of Grass. Back in civilization,

peek into the lifestyles of the rich and famous and enjoy

Greater Miami offers more fun things to see and do than you can schedule. Enjoy everything from boats and camping to wildlife, sports and local fare. Beyond the fabulous beaches, the

sand and surf, there are countless spots to indulge.

Drop into a local park to see exotic palms, stately trees

and famous vistas. Cruise ships and sailboats glide by

almost close enough to touch. Perch a parrot on your

shoulder for that Miami-perfect selfie. Follow the

lumbering manatees and meet colorful characters like

the ocean air from the comfort of your party boat. Or

study architecture that spans from the 12th to the 21st

centuries at a suburban monastery. In a brand new bay-

front museum, you can see the future of science unveiled

before your eyes.

Miami offers access to four national parks, so it’s the

perfect home base for exploring these natural wonders.

Everglades National Park and Biscayne National

Park are located in Homestead, in South Dade. Free

trolley service connects downtown Homestead to both

parks every weekend from November through April.

A water trolley continues in Biscayne National Park,

with park rangers on board providing information and

island tours.

Big Cypress National Preserve is located just 45 miles

west of Miami, while Dry Tortugas National Park is a few

hundred miles to the southwest.

pink flamingos, white cockatoos and green parrots. Swim

with dolphins or whack golf balls from the beach to the bay.

Play tennis on the courts of champions and then cool off

under the waterfalls and explore the grottoes of a huge

natural pool. If you have any stamina left, take a climb up to

a 19th-century lighthouse for timeless panoramas.

Few places in the world offer experiences like spotting

alligators, spoonbills, storks and herons from an airboat

skipping over the River of Grass. Back in civilization,

peek into the lifestyles of the rich and famous and enjoy
