5 days in Miami Beach Itinerary

Separated by water from the neighboring city of Miami, Miami Beach sits on a barrier island between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

Change things up with these side-trips from Miami Beach: Fort Lauderdale Beach (in Fort Lauderdale), Shark Valley Visitor Center (in Everglades National Park) and Scuba & Snorkeling (in Key Largo). And it doesn't end there: take a stroll through Lincoln Road, enjoy some diversion at Lock & Load Miami, see the interesting displays at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, and visit Art Deco Historic District.

To find reviews, traveler tips, more things to do, and other tourist information, go to the Miami Beach vacation planner.

In March, daily temperatures in Miami Beach can reach 81°F, while at night they dip to 65°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 21st (Sat) to allow enough time to travel back home.
