    South Beach Divers offers diving and snorkeling excursions to Key Largo almost daily. Check their schedule web page for further information. They are probably the best choice if you want to practice diving during your visit.

    Diving equipment could be rented at their shop. Just remember to bring your diving license!

    If you enjoy playing volleyball, head to the beach at the 9th Street level. You'll find several volleyball nets, and either a free one to play with your friends or a group already playing that you can probably join.

    Needless to say, it is also a great spot for those of you who don't play but like watching....

    Marina from the air
    by grandmaR
    In Miami we went into Miami Beach Marina initially which is right inside the breakwater on Government Cut - was $2/foot as long as your boat isn't longer than 79 feet. Very convenient from the ocean. Electricity, and water included. There was a $25 deposit for a gate key to get access to the boat, and one of us had to go up to the gate to let our daughter in when she came to get us.

    Not much in the way of services for that - did get a daily Miami paper, but that might have been meant for the bareboat that shared the short fixed finger pier. The docks are concrete, and they tied us so far out that I couldn't get to the finger pier from the boat except by special gymnastics - either I went out the gate and sidled along the lifelines until I got to the piling at the end of the finger pier and then leaned back and clutched the piling with one hand while clinging to the shrouds with the other hand and stepped backwards groping for the pier with my foot.

    OR - I climbed over the lifelines forward of the shrouds (can't go through the shrouds) and then sidled sternward toward the piling and went through the same manuever. The boat was only close enough to the pier to step across right at the piling.

    Our boat was full of soot when we got back to it - the air is very dirty here. This is also where the boat show is held, so you can't get a slip then.

    They advertise a fuel dock, pumpout, ice and:

    If you know how to rollerblade, there is a nice boardwallk along the beach perfect for that. You thus won't alone but will be able to encounter all types of characters... some very funny ones too!

    You'll also be able to enjoy beautiful views of the art deco buildings of the strip....

    At the extreme South end of South Beach, beyond Nikki Beach and PEarl, there is a little hut where they rent Jet-Skis. I think it cost about 40 an hour...

    A cure for those winter blues.
    by HotSpotJ
    Lummus park is great for rollerblading and jogging, as is the beach in the morning. If you're into watching sports, then the Miami Heat play in Bayside, a mere $12-$15 cab ride away. The Miami Dolphins play a bit further North, and you'll have to plan that one out if you stay here without personal use of a car.

    With amazing weather in Florida,
    slowly paddling the bay or
    through the mangroves can be
    not only a work out...but a peaceful way
    of crossing over the waters.

    It's so chlise, but you have to try this while visiting in Miami. Feel sporty and but your Nike's on, then just go in early 6-7a.m. to jog along beach boulevard. It's really memoriable right now, when here in Finland is -30 degrees.
