On a trip to the Magic City, most visitors to Miami expect to spend their time sizzling in sunny South Beach, wandering through the colorful Wynwood Walls, or eating their way through the culturally rich streets of Little Havana, home to the city’s thriving Cuban community.
And while each one of these is a perfectly plausible only-in-Miami itinerary—adventures you should certainly enjoy—there’s also a lot to explore beyond the urban sprawl. Though the densely populated Florida hotspot is best known for its streets and city culture, exploring beyond Miami’s borders can enrich your trip, dosing out even more Sunshine State beauty.
