The Sights of Miami

Miami is filled with some of the most beautiful attractions. The sights are breathtaking. As a tourist or resident, a camera on hand is always necessary when visiting the Miami area. Three sights that have caught my eye and camera are Ocean Drive, the Everglades and the Deering Estate. Here’s why…

  1. Breathtaking views of the of the art deco architecture as you stroll down Ocean Drive in South Beach is always a must. It is one of the most popular attractions in this area and you understand why at first glance.Art Deco Miami BeachThe classic architecture melded with the modern lifestyle on the streets is both impressive and beautiful. Add in the salty air, the beach go-ers and at least a dozen well-tanned residents roller blading down the windy boardwalk and you feel the vibe of Miami Beach.
  2. Heading west from the city and you’ll encounter the infamous river of grass. Everglades Airboat RideFar different than Miami Beach, the Everglades is a beautiful National Park of wildlife and environmental wonder. Once the fear of crocodiles subsides, a visitor can enjoy an airboat ride that provides a tour of the park and will be in amazement with the complexity of the environment. You see the environment through different lenses as you truly feel so separated from the rest of Miami in the middle of park.
  3. Returning to the city from the Everglades, you yearn to see the water again. The view, the impressive view from the Deering Estate in Cutler Bay, will have you wondering why don’t find more time to peruse the estate and admire the grounds and the scenery.  Deering EstateJust 20 minutes south of Miami Beach, the Deering Estate offers a historian quality stories of the life of Miamians from early last century. It offers an artist the chance to see and learn from the artists in residence and the remarkable works of art on display. The environmentalist will be in wonder through the nature walk and mangrove. All will take a big breath in amazement with the the view and sense of calm that is felt throughout the grounds.

  1. In my case, it is the beautiful beach as well as the sea. Too bad I already have to wear glasses, so I cannot those sights clearly if I am to rely on my eyes alone.

  2. Wow! It is so green. I have never visited Miami but after going through your blog post it seems that it is full of greenery. Would love to visit it during next vacation!
