Miami Beach in 48 Hours!

I took a quick girls trip to Florida in October for the Eras Tour and it was so fun to check off another city from the travel bucket list! The trip may have been short and sweet but wanted to share a few recommendations from my time in Miami Beach!

One thing I loved about staying in Miami Beach was how much of a different vibe it had from downtown Miami. Miami always has a rep of being a go-to destination for parties and clubbing but if you’re like me and want to have a bit of a more laid-back trip, would recommend Miami Beach! You really feel like you’re on a tropical getaway (but somewhat city version) because everything is so walkable, the beach is incredible and so big, and there are so many cutie restaurants with outdoor seating and 10/10 vibes – so fun for a girls trip!

Restaurants & Coffee Shops:

• Orange Blossom – we sat inside due to the weather, but they have a cutie patio seating option, and is a cool vibe!
• Joe & the Juice – perfect spot for morning coffee or juices!!
• Cafe Americano – cutie outdoor seating vibe!
• Osteria Da Fortunata – a must! The only other locations are in Italy and it’s very authentic Italian pasta and tasted just as it did in Italy when we went for our honeymoon.
• Pura Vida – good spot to go for some healthier meal options!
• Salt Cafe – yummy brunch menu!
• Maman (downtown Miami) – coffee shop goals and so cutie and aesthetic! Worth the trek when venturing into downtown.

Things to Do:

• Miami Beach and South Beach
  • Walk or rent bikes along the beach boardwalk
  • Beach bum for the day! The warm water and soft white sand are incredible!! (this is also coming from a west coast girl who’s used to cold water and rocky beaches lol)
  • Walk around town and explore the different restaurants. There’s so much culture and variety of meal options to check out, you never know what you’ll stumble across!
• Miami Design District (downtown Miami)
  • Mostly high-end shopping but is a really nice district of downtown Miami and worth checking out!
• Bayfront Park/Bayside Marketplace (downtown Miami)
  • Has a bit more family-friendly activities and a farmer’s-market vibe of local shops and vendors.

We stayed in an Airbnb a couple of blocks away from the beach and I’d say anywhere you stay in Miami Beach (whether it be a hotel or Airbnb) you’re in a great location – walkable to shops, restaurants, and the beach!

Hope this helps with some inspo and planning for your next trip to Miami Beach!
