It\u2019s a popular local spot for volleyball, paddle boarding, and surfing. True to its name, it\u2019s also home to a number of arts festivals and cultural events such as the Fiesta Hermosa arts &amp; crafts festival, Hermosa Beach Film Festival, and the Hermosa Beach Community Drum Circle.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29659\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29659\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29659\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Beach-sunny-isle-miami-beach.500.jpg\" alt=\"Sunny Isles Beach stands in for Miami Beach\" width=\"500\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Beach-sunny-isle-miami-beach.500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Beach-sunny-isle-miami-beach.500-300x256.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29659\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sunny Isles Beach stands in for Miami Beach<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>If you like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/psi?force=hotels\/United_States--FL\/Miami_Beach.hd5460\/?WT.tsrc=orbitzBlog&amp;GCID=78142\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Miami Beach<\/a>, you&#8217;ll LOVE <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/psi?force=hotels\/United_States--FL\/Sunny_Isles.hd5909\/?WT.tsrc=orbitzBlog&amp;GCID=78142\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sunny Isles Beach<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With a world-class arts scene and internationally acclaimed nightlife, Miami Beach is the second most crowded beach in the country with over13 million visitors a year.

The sandy beach is shallow and quiet, so it\u2019s great for younger kids who can\u2019t battle the waves.
