Miami -
What to Do List
By Damien Venuto
Even one episode of CSI
could teach the most
clueless traveler that
Miami is a beautiful
region, inhabited by a
plethoric abundance of
gorgeous people. What
CSI fails to tell the
wide-eyed spectator is
that there is so much
more to Miami than
aesthetic charm. It would
be impossible to construct
an all-inclusive list of
must-sees, but what
follows are a few
recommendations that
you should not miss under
any circumstances.
Football Game
The Miami Dolphins enjoy the support of an
enormous fan-base. Attending a game will not
allow you to understand the elaborate array of
incomprehensible rules, but it will let you
experience the hype of the game. Tickets can be
purchased online, but remember to plan in
advance because tickets for bigger games are
very difficult to come by.
Swim with Dolphins
These Miami dolphins are not nearly as vicious as
their human namesakes, but they are still pretty
incredible nonetheless. Swimming with dolphins
has traditionally been the exclusive right of
dolphin trainers and crazy pre-dawn surfers - but
in Miami this right extends to you.
South Beach
Unless you are still plagued by an unbearable
childhood phobia of bronze sand, you have to
head down to South Beach. This hotspot serves
as a stomping ground to all the beautiful people
that call Miami home. Here, you will be able to
admire (or laugh at) the effects of steroid abuse
while enjoying the usual sun-baking benefits of a
beach holiday. Lie in the sun, get sunburned and
go to a beachside restaurant for a splendid
Margarita - it's all part of the Miami vibe.
Stand in Lines
As bizarre as this suggestion may sound, it's
completely necessary. An authentic Miami
experience demands that you wait in long lines to
enter pricey nightclubs. Unless you are a very well
connected individual, or possess invisibility as a
superpower, you will have to stand in some very
long lines while on holiday. It may seem like a
waste of time, but once you enter the
establishment, you will realize why it was worth it.
See (and eat) a Gator
Gators, like lines and football are a necessary part
of the Miami experience. Start your trip by seeing
these living fossils in the Everglades and then pop
into a local restaurant to indulge in some gator
tail. You will find that it tastes very similar to
chicken - yes, you've heard it before, so you'll just
have to try it for yourself to see if it's true.
Helicopter Spin
If you are still wondering what to do in Miami,
include a helicopter trip in your itinerary. When
you fly over Miami, you will be able to see the full
extent of its beauty from an entirely different
perspective. There are few experiences that can
truly encapsulate the word breathtaking - but this
is one of them.
