South Beach

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of the Miami and Fort Lauderdale area! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things Miami for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of: ☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries 🌮 Local cuisine 🏛️ Museums of all kinds 🌳 Gardens & parks 🛏️ Boutique hotels 🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!

So, you're ready to go to Miami but have under a weekend to do it? This is the itinerary for you! Welcome to my Weekender Series, meant for the limited-on-pto weekend warriors of the world. With our schedules on this particular week, we visited for a Thursday to Saturday trip, leaving Thursday afternoon and returning Saturday evening. This could work similarly for any weekend you have, and if you're at all closer to Florida, you'd likely end up with even more time! This itinerary is broken down by a few hours at a time, giving you an example of a very full day and a half! Included are places I recommend personally and substitutions for ones that I don't necessarily feel lived up to the hype. Some highlights include: • Best of Little Havana • Where to stay • Art in Miami • South Beach stops • Casual foodie options Additionally, you'll find a final list of "extra" suggestions: things I didn't have time for, but would definitely like to squeeze in to my next visit!
