South Beach in Miami

There's no doubt that Florida makes a fun vacation destination for travelers of all disposition, but a certain type of person probably isn't satisfied with common scenes of golf courses, beachcombing and quiet strolls along nearly-empty sidewalks. South Beach is famously filled with energy, nightlife options, celebrity sightings and beautiful people. If these are the things that would best take you away from your current situation, providing you with the kind of vacation you need to calm you down and loosen you up, there's no place like South Beach.

This coastal magnet for hedonists around the world has been hopping for years. Fashion shoots, TV and movie filmings, big-time parties and a general atmosphere of buoyant, beach time fun have characterized South Beach for decades - ever since the birth of t-shirt/blazer combos and rollerblading. Things have modernized a bit, of course, but there's still an otherworldly feel to this destination; it's as if there are cameras constantly rolling and everyone is ready to attract attention and impress their fellow revelers.

Get your fill of the region's wildlife by visiting the Seaquarium or the Monkey Jungle. The zoo and the planetarium are also fun educational opportunities for people of all ages. Once you get hungry there are hundreds of restaurants to choose from, many of them world-famous and impressive by anyone's standards.

South Beach comes alive each night after the sun goes down. Dancing, partying, music and laughter fill the streets, where every storefront seems to become a club of some sort. Make new friends or celebrate alongside your old ones, you're sure to be tempted to keep it going until the sun comes up.

All of this is enough to keep a person busy for a while, and there is still more to see and do. You'll discover these things for yourself during the visit, but don't forget your lodging experience as well. Your lodging situation will serve as the foundation for all the amusements to come. Consider a South Beach Vacation Rental to complement this getaway, as the amenities, location, and personality of a unique condo or beach house will fit the mood of this trip like a glove. Or stay at a Bed and Breakfast for a uniquely romantic getaway where all of you personal needs will be met by a friendly innkeeper. Freedom, one-of-a-kind details, and a sense of fun are what make vacations perfect for a getaway of this nature.
