More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start on Biscayne Bay as sunlight slides across glass towers and the city exhales into the morning. The driver eases through Brickell’s steel-and-glass canyons, then the Atlantic calls you east across the Venetian Causeway where small islands and turquoise water dare you to pause for a photo. Ocean Drive unfurls — a strip of pastel facades, palm shadows, and pedestrians moving at a different pace — and the car becomes a mobile vantage point for Miami’s contrasts.

Time your visit
Morning light or the hour before sunset gives the best photos and cooler temperatures; avoid midday if you want to walk longer.
