No trip to South Florida would be complete without a day at the beach.  Pack a cooler, towels and don’t forget the sunscreen because fun in the sun is what South Florida is all about.

    I love, love, love Cape Florida (at the end of Key Biscayne). To me that is the number one beach in Miami. ☺

    I was disappointed to find a gay beach right across from Beach Place. To each his own, but since I was with my kids, I was uncomfortable and had to Walk down a few blocks. The actual beach was awesome…very clean, no seaweed, no rocks, had a great time.

    Btw, a lot of white trash hanging out in beach place. Guys completely covered in tattoos, a lot of smoking and bad language. Again I am all for personal expression, but not when I’m with my kids.
