For example, in Miami Beach wide sandy beaches stretched for 11 kilometers. All along the coast there are bungalows, hotels and residential houses.

The most visited beach is in South Beach. beach sand there is quite unusual. It is gray in color, and the grains of sand resemble fine gravel. A few years ago, soil erosion was discovered in South Beach due to uncontrolled coastal development. But the beaches were saved by engineering troops, who brought 10 million cubic meters of sand.

Key West Island, which is located in Miami (Florida, USA) is one of the most beautiful places. A bridge leads to a small piece of land, surrounded on both sides coral reefs. Apart from natural beauties, the island has a unique attraction - six-toed cats.

In the Land of Lions Safari Park, the scenery is similar to the landscapes of South America. The natural area is divided into seven sectors. Each can be bypassed by car, but you can not leave it for safety reasons. The park was opened in 1967. At first, there were a lot of lions on the territory, over time, their population decreased significantly. But instead, many other animals appeared: rhinos, giraffes, turtles, etc.

In Miami (Florida), the sights cannot be bypassed even in a couple of days. Almost all tourists, without exception, are attracted by the Packard Museum of vintage cars. The technopark was founded by Arthur Stone in the middle of the 20th century. Over the years, the museum has collected 22 unique retro cars that can still move. Many car accessories and spare parts from old cars are on display. One of the halls is entirely dedicated to Roosevelt, who preferred the Packards.

Another of the many interesting museums is the Neptune Memorial. It also has a second name - Atlantis Reef. This is an underwater mausoleum in which the cremated remains are stored.

Other attractions

In addition to the above, in Miami (Florida) there are many more attractions. One of them is a backlit skyscraper. It is 190 meters high. The building consists of 47 floors, of which 10 are allocated for a garage, and the rest - for offices. The popularity of the skyscraper brought LED backlighting, which has many color variations. They change depending on holidays or significant events.

For fans of entertainment in Miami, there are many clubs. They constantly hold competitions and various entertainment programs. The smallest tourists will be interested in visiting the zoo. Fashionistas are drawn to the Design District. This is a whole large area filled with shops that sell showrooms, famous brands. You can also visit art galleries there.

Many people think that Miami is all about white sand beaches, beautiful tanned people from all over the world, Nice weather all year round expensive cars, world-famous nightclubs and other entertainment. Yes, this is partly true. However, having come here for just a few days, you may be able to spend more useful and interesting time than just lying on the beach all day and going to discos in the evening. In this article, I will talk about the main attractions of Miami, where you can go and what to see in Miami.

To begin with, a lot will depend on exactly when you are going to visit Miami. The fact is that the climate here is tropical, that is, there are significant seasonal changes in both temperature and precipitation. From May to November in Miami is considered not a season. Very hot, humid, tropical showers, air temperature in the sun is about +35C every day and water temperature is about +30C.

In winter, on the contrary, the so-called high season (high season). It is not so humid anymore, there is practically no rain, but at the same time the ocean becomes quite cold (personally, I do not swim there from the second half of December to the end of February) and it is generally not so hot in Miami at this time. In the evenings, you have to wear sweaters, sometimes there are sharp cold snaps, when the temperature drops to almost zero!!! But this is not so common, you just need to keep in mind that a vacation in Miami in the winter is not the same as a vacation somewhere in Thailand or India.

Dolphin Mall and Sawgrass Mills are outlet malls where you can buy clothes from previous collections at significant discounts. The first one is in the west of Miami, about 20 miles from South Beach. The second is the largest outlet mall in the United States and the 6th in size among all malls. One problem is that it is located in Fort Lauderdale, neighboring Miami. Another problem that may arise, especially if you are going there on the weekend, is parking. People come here from all over Florida, so it can take a long time to find parking on weekends.

It was, so to speak, a short description of the places where you can go or go if you decide to spend your holidays in Miami. Over time, I will try to write separate articles about each of the above places, but for now, if you have a desire, you can find Additional information on the Internet or guides to Miami.
