South Beach has been called the American Riviera and an Art Deco Playground. Yet there's more than fine white sand and colorful buildings to South Beach's fantasyland of exuberant Deco architecture. South Beach offers an eclectic mix of world-class boutiques, galleries and stores. It's also a culinary hot spot for everything from gourmet to casual beachside cuisine. At night, South Beach comes alive with crowds ready to go out and have a world-class evening out. The clear blue water and the white sand beaches are a must-see for any Miami visitor. South Beach is an architect buff's paradise. The Art Deco buildings are an iconic part of the city.

Encounter dolphins in the wild in the Florida Keys Where better for a dolphin encounter than The Florida Keys? Activities and things to do for visitors of all ages and interests abound in The Keys. Your visit can be as action-packed and thrilling or relaxed and low-key as you desire. You control the pace of your vacation. Adventure-seekers can test the water, and their skills, on a fishing charter for prized game fish. Get up close and personal with tropical fish on a snorkel trip, or dive to explore a ship wreck on the ocean floor. Visit local art galleries and museums and shop for unique gifts. Feast on fresh seafood at fine restaurants and hang with the locals, or just hang on a hammock suspended between two palms. Simply unwind and let go with the outgoing tide. You will be, after all, on island time
