North Miami Travel Guide

A trip to the beaches of Miami is a bucket list travel experience for many, however it comes with the associated headache of having to share the beaches and the sights with heaps of other tourists. North Miami, located approximately 10 miles north of Miami proper, is a suburban section of the city where the locals keep the beaches to themselves. This is a great place to venture and enjoy the Florida sunshine without the crowds.

Things to Do in North Miami

One of the best things to do in North Miami is to soak up the rays at North beach, or at nearby nudist beach Haulover park. Nature lovers can enjoy trekking beneath the mangrove forests at Oleta River State Park, or doing some light hiking at the Enchanted Forest Elaine Gordon Park. For a little retail therapy, visitors should head to Collins Avenue, a road that runs parallel to the beachfront and houses tons of eclectic boutiques and international restaurants.

Best Places to Stay in North Miami

Bal Harbor with its luxury boutique stores, chic bars and upscale eateries is one of the most glamorous places to stay in North Miami. Surfside and North Beach also offer great lively atmospheres and are in close proximity to the beach.

Best Time to Visit North Miami

North Miami can be visited year-round on account of its tropical climate. That said, the best time to visit North Miami is the spring and summer months (March to August) where temperatures are good and rainfall is at a minimum.
