Go for a paddle, stroll, or even a boardwalk bike ride in this amazing national park, which is about an hour drive south from Coral Gables.
Activities include kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkeling.
Get lost among the historical art deco neighborhood of Collins Avenue, with its seemingly endless number of juice bars, coffee shops, and yoga studios.
Visit the historic heart of Cuban-American culture. Plenty of classic restaurants with live music and fabulous mojitos. A visit here lands somewhere between kitsch, cute, and your uncle's Miami bucket list.
This fun arts and culture scene has been compared to Brooklyn (think Williamsburg ca. 2014) and Detroit (think Eastern Market ca. 2018). We recommend an art mural tour. When Avery first visited Florida in 2018 (pre-Carly) he strolled through this neighborhood, fancying the many specialty coffee shops, bakeries, and artisan avocado toasteries. The graffiti was bright, kombucha flowed from every fourth tap, and there were only a couple craft breweries. Vice had an office here and people unironically puttered around on their Razor scooters. While it may still be recovering from Art Basel (taking place the weekend before our wedding), it is probably the most fun and delicious neighborhood for visitors.
This tropical fruit-focused botanical garden offers daily tasting tours of their hundreds of fruits, herbs, nuts, and spices.
This iconic fruit stand is a must-visit if you are heading to the Everglades or if you are simply looking to expand your tropical fruit palate. Robert, the owner, is often working and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the world's fruit.
This is Miami's premier modern art museum. It is located downtown near the bridge to South Beach and a short drive from Wynwood. Next door to the Frost Center (a science center with a great exhibit on sharks and some cool aquariums).
A gorgeous park right across from our wedding venue with a beach and kayak (and perhaps SUP) rentals.
