Charter a Boat - To really experience and the lifestyle of South Florida, you must get out on the water and enjoy what Miami is all about.

Trip to Key West- This is one of the most adventurous rides you can do while on South Florida. Take a jeep or a convertible sports car and head to Key West for a day of sightseeing. I suggest staying one night so it will be much pleasant trip, but I know many that just go there very early in the morning and come back late in the evening.. is only a 4 hour trip from South Beach!
