-
The best way to get around both Miami Beach and Key Biscayne.
-
Deep-sea fishing out in the ocean, or the more conventional kind off a jetty or pier – both are readily available. The jetty or Sunshine Pier at First Street Beach on Miami Beach is good, or the breaker area just south of the Lighthouse on Key Biscayne.
-
So that he could play golf year-round is the main reason that Jackie Gleason moved to Miami. The Crandon Golf Course is one of the best.
-
At Hobie Island Beach (see Hobie Island Beach and Virginia Key Beach) you can rent one of these exciting modes of fun on the water, or head over to Virgina Key and you’ll find Jet Ski Beach, with lots of rental stands.
-
A very popular activity, given the prevailing maritime winds. There’s even a park especially for kite enthusiasts at the south end of Haulover Park.
-
The hotel pool or the surging gray-blue Atlantic Ocean? This is Florida, and swimming is number one – snorkeling, too, in quieter areas, especially Crandon Park on Key Biscayne and off South Pointe.
-
There are plenty of tennis courts all over the islands.
-
Anywhere there’s a developed beach, you’ll find a volleyball net and a quorum of players. Lummus Park is the best place to show off your skills to Miami’s greatest beach bums, but South Pointe Park’s a close contender.
-
For windsurfing, the intracoastal waterways are calmer and there’s almost always a breeze; check out Windsurfer Beach on Virginia Key for rentals. For surfing, the waves on the Atlantic side are plenty gnarly; the best spot is just off First Street Beach.
-
South Pointe Park has a “Vita Course,” a fitness circuit you can huff and puff your way through while taking in the views of the port, and enjoying the relative spaciousness compared to the crowds of Lummus Park.
