"Key Biscayne This last one may not look like much but it’s quite unique. Stiltsville is a group of wood stilt houses located a mile south of Cape Florida. The structures stand on wood and stand about 10 feet above the water."

"They had a bathtub filled with fish and ice and we were able to pick on out and have them prepared for us!"

"Probably the last time you ate brunch at the Rusty Pelican it was for a daytime wedding reception, but this storied venue with a postcard view of the skyline has seriously upped its food game in the last two years, and is a must-visit if you haven’t been. Try the pork belly waffle sandwich with sundried tomato and maple mustard sauce. Or, if you’d like something sweeter, try the Frosted Flake-crusted french toast topped with caramel sauce and cinnamon whipped cream.How to order: Reservations available on OpenTable"

"Key BiscayneNo restaurant in Miami has seen more weddings, bar mitzvahs, quinces, and over-aggressive first dates than the venerable Rusty Pelican. Its spectacular view of the Miami skyline is unrivaled and, while it once had a fairly-dated menu a new chef brought the place new life about three years ago, and now it’s actually worth going to for the steaks as much as it is for the glittering downtown view.How to book: Reserve via OpenTable or order take-out and delivery via Uber Eats."

"We can’t help but include the restaurant that has been around since before we can remember. Rusty Pelican, we heart you, your seafood-driven brunch and your unparalleled view of the Miami skyline. 3201 Rickenbacker Cswy., Key Biscayne; 305-361-3818 ortherustypelican.com"

"When they renovated this former 1930s gas station across from a historic Miami cemetery, they did a fantastic job of keeping the floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the cozy banquettes and tables with light. There is usually a diverse bunch of customers, from locals craving fresh oysters to business types wanting to impress their clients with the several kinds of caviar on the menu. And that is the interesting thing about Mignonette: It is both fancy and unpretentious, so everyone fits in."

"A modern take on the classic seafood restaurant by Blue Collar chef Danny Serfer and partner Ryan Roman. Described by critics and guests as a “plain and fancy” oyster heaven, it also features plenty of other seafood items, as well as non-sea dwelling options like prime rib, chicken, and its famous veggie board."

"As one of Miami’s finest and longest-running Mediterranean seafood restaurants, Milos is never a bad idea. With locations around the world (Athens, Montreal, London), we’re partial to our hometown outpost for a few reasons: It’s basically located on the beach, the dining room is equal parts traditional and modern, and the food is always top-notch. Pick your favorite fish and have it fried, grilled or served as a tartare, paired with a classic Greek salad and a side of fried potatoes."

"For some of the best seafood in Miami, head to Milos by Costas Spiliadis. This authentic Greek restaurant specializes in fare from the sea. Imagine the freshest wild-caught fish pa"

"A stunning addition to the SoFi (South of Fifth Street) District, this elegant seafood spot may be difficult to pronounce, but … […]"

"This Miami institution reminds me of any good restaurant in downtown Lima, unpretentious and simple. The food here speaks for itself. But as you may not have tried it yet, let me explain."

"Tucked away in West Flagler Salmon y Salmon, is a local Peruvian gem you most certainly won’t find in a tourist guide. It’s a cozy (less than ten tables), mom and pop style space with laid-back ambiance and décor, with a curb appeal leaving much to be desired. Service is extremely attentive, wait staff treating you as typical Latin abuelas (grandmas) do, making sure you’re well-fed and taken care of."

"For a true boat-to-table experience, locals flock (and sometimes boat) to this seafood restaurant perched along the historic Miami River. With more than 20 years of experience in commercial fishing, Casablanca offers seafood that is reeled in daily and brought straight from the boats to the restaurant and market. Choose from menu items such as grilled octopus, Creole shrimp tostones, the signature grilled parrillada platter piled high with calamari, oysters, clams, mussels, prawns and grilled fish, or an impressive raw bar full of ceviches and oysters."

"This iconic restaurant has been around for more than 20 years and is right next to the seafood market, meaning you’ll be served only the freshest food. Casablanca sits on the waterfront of the Miami River and offers its guests a wonderful view of downtown Miami. You may have a short wait for a table, and they don’t take reservations, but definitely plan on stopping by, it’s worth it!"

"If you’re feeling ambitious on your townie cruiser, you can ride north to Bal Harbour or Haulover beaches; natives know these as water-sports havens—and for Bal Harbour’s luxury shopping. Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."

"The mecca of dog parks, you can bring your pooch here to play in the fenced in green spaces where dogs can get some exercise with other canines. There’s even an outdoor space with fitness equipment, a walking path and a deck to stroll along and enjoy the Miami sights. Located in Coconut Grove just at the water’s edge, it offers a peaceful view of the open bay for a relaxing afternoon."

"Kennedy Park is located in Coconut Grove, right on the water with a view of the open bay, an outdoor gym including a green ladder you can climb up and down, a running path on an outdoor track, and a children’s play area."

"Mary Brickell Village is a delightful open-air shopping and entertainment area with a wide variety of restaurants. After lunch, make time for some souvenir shopping at Brickell Village’s stylish boutiques."

"Inspired by the four ‘T’ cities — Tel Aviv, Thong Sala, Tokyo, and Tulum — the Upper Buena Vista outdoor mall is full of photo opportunities. With many hidden spots boasting beautiful Instagram backgrounds, you’ll have to explore the entire premises to discover them all. We won’t keep you guessing too much, though — here are some of our favorites:"

"Dadeland Mall is a large enclosed shopping mall located in the Miami suburb of Kendall, Florida, in the Dadeland district."

"Or you can experience the pulse of a multi-dimensional metropolis, exploring 1930s to 1950s Art Deco glamour in South Beach and Mid-Beach, big city sophistication in Downtown, avant-garde art installations in Wynwood, shopping in the Design District, and a melting pot of Latin heritage in Little Havana. Given short driving distances between these eclectic neighborhoods, it’s possible to explore Miami’s multiple identities in a weekend without feeling rushed."

"After seeing your fill of water views and tropical plants, make your way to Calle Ocho, in the heart of Little Havana. Stop by Versailles, a favorite Cuban restaurant, for a syrupy Cuban coffee, a guava-filled pastelito, or, if you’re already hungry, a meaty Cuban sandwich. Wander around Calle Ocho for some interesting street art, watch locals play dominos in Maximo Gomez Park, and pick up a hand-rolled cigar as a souvenir."

"Put some miles on your car; Little Havana calls. Calle Ocho (Eighth Street) is another world, and you’ll know it immediately by the language of the street signs. Salsa music pours out from storefronts onto the streets. The scent of fresh guava pastries is never far."

"‘You will be seeing unusual accomplishment,’ reads the inscription on the rough-hewn quarried wall. That’s an understatement. There is no greater temple to all that is weird and wacky about South Florida. The legend: a Latvian gets snubbed at the altar. Comes to the USA and settles in Florida. Handcarves, unseen, in the dead of night, a monument to unrequited love."

"No one’s figured out how one diminutive mason managed to move the huge stones for this sculpture garden dedicated to his lost love."
