1. Soak in the Waterfront Lifestyle

  • Yacht or boat day – Charter a yacht to cruise the Intracoastal and Biscayne Bay. Places like Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beach, and Palm Beach have plenty of rentals.
  • Sandbar meetups – Haulover Sandbar in Miami or Peanut Island in Palm Beach are floating parties with music, BBQs, and a social vibe.
  • Sunset at the water – Lauderdale-by-the-Sea or South Pointe Park Pier give you quieter ocean views away from the tourist chaos.

2. Hit the Beaches Strategically

  • For calm luxury: Key Biscayne’s Crandon Park or the stretch near The Breakers in Palm Beach.
  • For people-watching: South Beach’s Lummus Park.
  • For nature: Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park (with a historic lighthouse).

3. Dive into the Food & Nightlife Scene

  • Fine dining – Try Makoto (Bal Harbour), Joe’s Stone Crab (Miami Beach), or Cafe Boulud (Palm Beach).
  • Rooftop cocktails – Sugar in Brickell or Rooftop @1WLO in Fort Lauderdale.
  • Latin nightlife – Wynwood and Little Havana in Miami for salsa, reggaeton, and mojitos.
  • The Guitar Hotel – At the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, FL is South Florida’s most over-the-top landmark for luxury-meets-entertainment.
    It’s part of the Hard Rock’s $1.5B expansion, shaped like a 450-foot-tall guitar that lights up the sky, and it’s designed for people who want to say. See more later on below.

4. Explore Unique Florida Nature

  • Everglades airboat ride – Just 45 min from Miami, you’ll see gators and stunning wetlands.
  • Snorkel or dive – John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo is gorgeous.
  • Manatee spotting – Winter months around Blue Spring or Riviera Beach.

5. Experience South Florida Culture

  • Art Deco walking tour – South Beach’s pastel architecture is a gem.
  • Luxury shopping – Bal Harbour Shops, Worth Avenue, or the Design District.
