Free to visit, South Pointe Park is ideal for families, replete with manicured grass for lounging and warm, scrubbed-stone walkways, as well as a tiny water park for the kids."

"South Point Park is the best place in Miami to enjoy the sunset. Bring your camera for a late afternoon photo shoot. It‘s a picturesque spot, with walkways, benches, and green spaces that look out over the Gulf."

"Few American parks can claim to front such a lovely stretch of turquoise as Biscayne Bay, but this fantastic green space is packed full of freebies too, including a great playground for the kids. The Tina Hills Pavilion has free concerts and yoga sessions, but Bayfront Park has some interesting public art worth discovering as well. The JFK Torch of Friendship recognizes the accomplishments of US congressman Claude Pepper, while Isamu Noguchi, who redesigned much of Bayfront Park in the 1980s, has three great sculptures: the Challenger Memorial, The Light Tower, and our favorite, the Slide Mantra."

"Few American parks can claim to front such a lovely stretch of turquoise (Biscayne Bay), but Miamians are lucky like that.

If that doesn’t sound like the right fit, enjoy a walk along iconic Lincoln Road for shopping, eating, drinking and people watching."

"The Miami Beach Botanical Gardens was originally a municipal park that opened in the early ’60s; it wasn’t until decades later when the area was redesigned and rejuvenated that it became the fantastic attraction that it is now. Designed by one of the state’s most renowned landscape architects, the gardens are an urban oasis filled with fountains, art, and an amazingly diverse array of plants, trees, and flowers, most of which are species native to Florida. The grounds include a Japanese garden, warden gardens, plenty of shaded seating areas, and well-marked pathways that lead to each distinct area."

Stop in to gobble up delicious candy classics like jelly beans, gummy bears, cotton candy and poprocks."

"Although fellow New Yorkers are familiar with this legendary candy shop, Floridians took their own spin on Dylan's Candy Bar. Located on Lincoln Road, the vibe of Miami creates a colorful atmosphere that attracts everyone who passes by.

"On an island in Biscayne Bay, you’ll find this unassuming but totally fun taco restaurant that’s like a vacation to Acapulco in the middle of Miami.

"If you want to try the most delicious tacos in Miami – 222 Taco was made for you. However, there are not only tacos, but also many other dishes and drinks. You will also be offered a large selection of sauces."

"The first outpost of My Ceviche was essentially a seafood shack on South Beach with founders Sam and Roger playing the roles of chef and cashier, doling out fresh ceviche from a takeout window. Now the eatery has expanded across town to neighborhoods like Brickell and Midtown, yet it still maintains its playful, roll-with-the-punches spirit. Ceviche bowls and salads are topped with fresh seafood like charred octopus and seared ahi tuna, while the ever-popular, made-to-order poke bowl features fun flavors like wasabi sesame sauce and creamy togarashi."

"What started as a nondescript takeout shop nestled against the SoBe Hostel has since morphed into a six-location cevicheria known for its impeccable, inexpensive ceviche. Whole fish is brought straight from the Atlantic, prepped in-house and then “cooked” in lime juice. The result is some of the best ceviche in town, for a fraction of what it would cost at sit-down restaurants."

"Miami's Latin-American influences are not limited to Cuba: from Uruguay comes El Rey del Chivito, where the speciality is the chivito (little goat) sandwich. Actually, there's no goat in this mammoth sandwich, but there is just about everything else you could imagine: grilled steak, bacon, ham, cheese, a fried egg, onions, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, all piled onto a lightly toasted bun. It's like breakfast, lunch and dinner all at once, plus a side of fries, all for under $10."
