South Beach Wildlife

Miami's hottest spot beats its own rhythm against a hypnotic Deep South backdrop. Few vacation sites offer as much excitement and diversity as this unique location along the southern tip of the Eastern seaboard. Book a discount fare on a getaway flight in winter's midst to enjoy the tropical breezes and sunlit kisses of this special place. Hop into a rental car and cruise the length of Ocean Drive, drinking in the multitude of sights and smells that tantalize the air.

You won't get far before the sensuous pulse of Latino music tugs at your ears. Cuban fare served spicy and hot beckons from tastefully decorated eateries with the promise of fulfillment. Dine at world-renowned restaurants like The Palms, The Tides, Grillfish, Joia, and Monty for a smorgasbord of culinary sensations that will leave you sated with delight.

Take a tour of the local wildlife regions that hail from beyond the city's parameters. Visit Biscayne National Park for a glimpse of Florida's natural "wild life" as opposed to the unusual sights you will encounter on the streets of South Beach. Or float out to sea in a glass bottom boat to check out the wonders of the region's coral and numerous species of tropical fish. Walk the shell-filled beach at sunset to enjoy the final gleams of light before darkness settles over the waves, feeling warm sand oozing between your toes. Or perch on a wooden pier for a taste of salt air pierced by the screeches of gulls.

Then check into a lavish hotel like the Clevelander or Savoy. And if you're lucky enough to be there in February, check out the Miami International Film Fest, with films and celebrities from around the world. This is one of those vacations you'll never forget!
