Tips
When booking flights, check for pricing from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) or Miami (MIA). Without traffic, it takes about the same amount of time to travel from FLL or MIA to South Beach.
Uber & Lyft are pretty cheap and offer an easy alternative to buses or taxis.
There are five Equinox gyms in Miami if you are looking for a good workout!
