During your Miami vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Sea Grass Adventures
Even better than the Seaquarium is Sea Grass Adventures, in which a naturalist from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center will introduce ($10 per person) kids and adults to an amazing variety of creatures that live in the sea grass beds of the Bear Cut Nature Preserve near Crandon Beach on Key Biscayne. Not just a walking tour, you will be able to wade in the water with your guide and catch an assortment of sea life in nets provided by the guides. At the end of the program, participants gather on the beach while the guide explains what everyone's just caught, passing the creatures around in miniature viewing tanks. Call for available dates, times, and reservations.
Diaspora Vibe Art Gallery
This culturally charged art complex is a funky artist hangout and is the home to some of the greatest artworks of Miami's diverse Caribbean, Latin American, and African-American cultures. The gallery has two seasons of shows, often focusing on emerging artists. During the winter, three artists are selected by the gallery to travel to and exhibit their works in Paris. On the last Friday of every month, from May through October, the gallery holds its fabulous cocktail-infused "Final Fridays." A new artist's work is spotlighted inside, while outside in the courtyard are live music performances and readings of poetry and folk tales. Delicious Caribbean cuisine is also served while the who's who of Miami's cognoscenti gather here to recharge their cultural batteries.
Miami Duck Tours
Hands down, this is the corniest, kookiest tour in the entire city. In fact, the company prefers to call these tours the "Quackiest" way to visit Miami and the Beaches. Whatever you call it, it's weird. The Watson Willy is the first of several planned Miami Duck Tours "vesicles," not a body party, but a hybrid name that means part vessel, part vehicle (technical name: Hydra Terra Amphibious Vehicle). Each "vesicle" seats 49 guests, plus a captain and tour guide and leaves from Watson Island behind Parrot Jungle Island, traveling through downtown Miami and South Beach. If you're image conscious, you may want to reconsider traveling down Ocean Drive in a duck. That's right, a duck, which is what the "vesicle" looks like. After driving the streets in the duck, you'll end up cruising Biscayne Bay, past all the swanky houses. Embarrassing or downright hilarious, Miami Duck Tours is definitely something unique.
Loews Hotel
The Loews Hotel is one of the largest beach hotels to arrive in South Beach in almost 30 years, consuming an unprecedented 900 feet of oceanfront. This 800-room behemoth is considered an eyesore by many, an architectural triumph by others. However you perceive it, you can't miss the hotel's multitiered cone-shaped 18-story tower perched high above the rest of South Beach. Rooms are a bit boxy and bland: nothing to rave about, but are clean and have new carpets and bedspreads to erase signs of early wear and tear from the hotel's heavy traffic.The best rooms are those that do not face the very congested Collins Avenue, since those tend to be quite noisy. Though Loews attempts to maintain the intimacy of an Art Deco hotel while trying to accommodate business travelers, it is so large that it tends to feel like a convention hall. You're not going to get personal doting service here, but the staff does try, even if it takes them awhile. If you can steer your way through all the name-tagged business people in the lobby, which, thanks to a popcorn machine, smells much like a mega-plex, you can escape to the pool (with an undisputedly gorgeous, landscaped entrance that's more Maui than Miami), which is large enough to accommodate families and conventioneers alike. In addition to children's fare such as the Loews Loves Kids program -- featuring special menus, tours, welcome gifts for children under 10, supervised programs, free accommodations for children under 18, and the Generation G program for grandparents and grandkids traveling together -- the hotel hosts fun activities for adults, too, such as Dive in Movies at the pool, salsa lessons, and bingo. In November 2003, star chef Emeril Lagasse opened Miami's first ever Emeril's restaurant here, making the Lowes a bigger focal point for seeing and being seen than ever before.
The Sagamore
Located just two doors down from the hauter-than-thou Delano Hotel is The Sagamore, quietly fabulous in its own right, with an ultramodern lobby cum art gallery that's infinitely warmer than your typical pop art exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. And although the lobby and its requisite bar and lounge areas have become command central for the international chic elite and celebrities such as Will Smith, The Sagamore's all-suite, apartment-like rooms are havens from the hype with all the cushy comforts of home and then some. It's hard not to think you're in a museum when walking through the lobby, but once you hit those rooms or the sprawling outdoor lawn leading up to the pool and beachfront, you'll realize that this is yet another of South Beach's ways of making you realize that you're not in Kansas anymore. At press time, there wasn't a restaurant in the hotel, but plans for one helmed by a star chef are underway.
Hotel Ocean
This Mediterranean enclave, located smack in the middle of crazy Ocean Drive, remains somehow protected from the disarray, perhaps due to the lovely French-style courtyard, on which live jazz is often performed. The European-style hotel's 27 suites are great, with authentic Art Deco furniture, soundproofed windows, terraces facing the ocean, massive bathrooms with French toiletries, and original fireplaces that add to the coziness, even if you're not likely to use them. Funky and comfy new furniture, wood flooring, and Spanish tile bathrooms with brand new (and sublime), 20-square-foot showers are the latest additions to the hotel's rooms. Room 504 is the hotel's best-kept secret, with ocean view and private balcony for a reasonable $250 to $270. Insiders who stay at this hotel know to request the Deep Sleep experience upon checking in. This complimentary, by-request-only amenity includes a magnetic mattress (not recommended for pregnant women or patients with a pacemaker), known to create balance and rest the body, as well as an orthopedic pillow. The hotel's restaurant, Les Deux Fontaines, is known for its superb service, excellent seafood, and intimate Speakeasy Bar. The only drawback to this hotel is its lack of a pool, but since the beach is directly across the street, it really shouldn't stop you from staying at this excellent spot.
