Miami Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

With more than 15 miles of sandy shoreline, Miami is sun and fun writ large. Don't forget, however, that the Miami area also features prime off-the-beach attractions such as a world-class zoo, playful children's museum, great golf courses, and easy access to the natural wonders of Biscayne and Everglades national parks.
