THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel

Read the full experience

The engine purrs and the Atlantic breeze dares you as you lift the visor and roll out of Sunset Harbour Marina. Palm-lined streets open onto bay views and low-slung Art Deco façades; the cityscape slides by in a loop of pastel storefronts, waterfront marinas and the glitter of Biscayne Bay. A 49cc Retro "Lucky" scooter is a short, buoyant way to feel Miami’s kinetic edge without committing to a car.

Miami Beach developed in the early 20th century as a seaside resort on a narrow barrier island, shaped by coastal engineering and 1920–30s real estate booms.
