The coolest ultimate Miami city guide

Miami is the vibe: from Nikki Beach (that I don't like) to the Setai, you can enjoy the South Beach life.

- bike ride around the beach including the Venetian Islands;
- jump in the ocean at sunrise;
- a boat ride up the river;
- kite-surfing (one of the best places in the world for it);
- a drive to Isla Morada and a stay at The Moorings (location of countless photo shoots);
- Design District (lunch at Michaels, Morgans, Sugarcane, Mandolin) to get off the beach;
- Fairchild Tropical Gardens during full moon.
