More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the open-top double-decker as the ocean-breeze pushes back your hat and the city unfolds in a line: pastel Art Deco hotels, palm-lined Lincoln Road, murals that crowd Wynwood’s walls. The bus moves with the rhythm of Biscayne Boulevard; the guide’s bilingual voice threads history—Cuban migration to Little Havana, Miami’s 20th-century land reclamation—and points out how the limestone flats beneath the city shaped its shoreline and canals.
