Outdoor Activities
Larry & Penny has gorgeous scenery for walking, running, or just sitting out and enjoying peace and quiet in nature. Half of the park is also an RV campground.
Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park and Campground
There are many farmers markets to choose from but this one stands out to me as it tends to have very down to earth sellers. I love that you can walk around the park before/after without having to pay an entrance fee! My favorite spot is a coffee truc...
Palmetto Bay Farmer's Market
My favorite trail to bike at! You get to see such beautiful nature, you get up close to the light house, and even see two casual dining options along the way. It’s a nice trail for the original locals that doesn’t get super overcrowded with transplan...
Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park
To me, Nikki Beach has the best water in Miami. It’s usually not rocky like most parts of Miami Beach and the water has always been crystal clear when I go!

Gorgeous botanical garden that makes me feel like I am on vacation somewhere else!
The Kampong, National Tropical Botanical Garden
There is nothing like the view from the Rickenbacker Causeway (imo). Whether driving to KB or parking at the start and walking/running the bridge (I recommend the latter), your breath will be taken away everytime by the Miami skyline.

Restaurants
Greek House is so delicious. I am a major fan of their chicken skewers and spicy feta fries!! You can takeout or dine in and the owner is very nice.
The Greek House Kitchen
All you can eat brunch is out of this world and worth the money! Even though it is buffet style the food tastes so fresh and well made and the options are quite elevated. I definitely think you should go at least once.
MILA
My favorite steakhouse ever. I love that it’s local too and not a chain like Flemings (which is also nearby). The food here is out of this world and I HIGHLY recommend the bread pudding for dessert!!
Christy's Restaurant
Other Food & Drinks
PURELY RECOMMENDING FOR HAPPY HOUR! It’s a good restaurant regularly but what gets me is the amazing HH deals!! Not only do they have regular happy hour in the afternoon, but they have a late night hh from 10pm to close. It’s my favorite!
Earls Kitchen + Bar
I have only gone here for the Uruguayan ice cream/gelato and you should too. Once you try this stuff, no other ice cream or gelato place will ever be enough! So rich and delicious.
Narbona Coconut Grove
I will die on the hill that Party Cake is the ABSOLUTE BEST CUBAN BAKERY IN MIAMI. I used to love getting their breakfast platter (eggs, bacon, pan tostado and cafe con leche) for $6. Now it’s about $10 but still as delicious. Their croquetas regular...

Arts & Entertainment
If you are into the arts, try to catch a performance at the Moss Center. My favorite show to go watch is The Nutcracker by Miami Youth Ballet every winter!
Dennis C. Moss Cultural Arts Center (The Moss Center)
Go to a Miami Dolphins game! This stadium has to be one of the most beautiful in the NFL and the energy at these games is electric. Pro-tip: make it to a preseason game for all the same excitement at a fraction of the cost!
Hard Rock Stadium
If you are visiting Miami or live here, this is an absolute must watch.
Patria y vida: The Power of Music (2023)
