South Beach is known for its beaches and the glamorous scene around its happening nightspots and restaurants. We recommend going to the beach and then walking down Ocean Drive. Hit up La Sandwicherie for delicious sandwiches post-swimming or Puerto Sagua if you want some Cuban food. Places to dance, drink and be merry: Mangos, Bodega, Purdy Lounge.
Check out Brickell City Centre (we recommend Sugar, Tacology and PubBelly Sushi). Other great places to eat include Cantina La Veinte and River Seafood Oyster Bar. Check out Area 31 for another rooftop bar, the Wharf for an outdoor hangout spot with food trucks or Blackbird Ordinary for a dive bar with board games. Nearby Bayside is a favorite for visitors and the American Airlines Arena and Miami Freedom Tower are all nearby. If you want to check out some art, visit the Perez Art Museum and the new Frost Museum of Science is a favorite for families.
We chose Wynwood for our engagement photo shoot! Check out the Wynwood Walls for amazing murals. Eat at Coyo Taco, 1800 Lucky, Kush or Kyu (Steph's favorite). Drink at El Patio, Racket, Veza Sur. Head to Midtown nearby (our neighborhood) for Sugar Cane, Tap 42 and Salumeria 104. Miami's Design District is also located nearby and has tons of restaurants and fancy shops.
