Miami is a city with several sides to it. The art deco and showiness of South Beach contrasts heavily with the landscaped garden grandeur of Coral Gables, for example.

The most memorable Miami accommodation is in one of South Beach’s art deco hotels. The Essex House Hotel is an architectural classic. The National has an amazing pool.

Boynton Beach has an interesting craft brewing scene. Check out Copperpoint and NOBO if you’re into your beers. Otherwise, the Schoolhouse Children’s Museum offers interactive learning for kids and Oceanfront Park is the best beach spot. It comes with lifeguards, picnic areas and a playground.

The Seacrest Scrub Natural Area provides a 54 acre haven of green space, with a paved walking trail lacing through it. You can spot gopher tortoises here.
