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.

Get some historical perspective at Lincoln Road and Saint Justin Martyr Catholic Church. Get in touch with nature at South Beach and Scuba & Snorkeling. 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 Wiener Museum of Decorative Arts (WMODA) (in Dania Beach). There's still lots to do: appreciate the extensive heritage of Art Deco Historic District, kick back and relax at Hollywood Beach, examine the collection at Lock & Load Museum, and wander the streets of Collins Avenue.

To find more things to do, where to stay, other places to visit, and tourist information, refer to the Miami Beach online travel route planner.

In May, daily temperatures in Miami Beach can reach 87°F, while at night they dip to 74°F. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 19th (Tue) early enough to travel back home.
