South Florida Breezes

Welcome to sunny Southern Florida! From Miami or Ft. Lauderdale, you’ll drive across the famous Alligator Alley through several national parks to magnificent Marco Island. Enjoy the white sandy beaches, gentle Gulf Coast waves, and don’t miss a chance to catch the breathtaking sunset as the sun dips below the Gulf of Mexico. The options are endless: go inshore charter fishing, take a sunset sailing excursion, or simply relax and soak up the warm Florida sun.

Head back east via Alligator Alley to Miami Beach, where you might take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters, stroll along the iconic Ocean Drive to enjoy the gorgeous Art Deco architecture or check out the many designer boutiques, or relax with a tropical cocktail on a patio and enjoy some excellent people-watching and celebrity-spotting.

Today is yours to savor fun in the south Florida sun! Take the opportunity to relax on the beautiful beaches, sample local seafood, explore the city’s Cuban culture and cuisine, or discover the museums and galleries of the local art scene. In the evening, don’t miss your chance to experience Miami Beach’s legendary nightlife, with lively dance clubs, bars, and shows for every taste.

The route from Miami to Key West is one of the country’s most spectacular drives. You’ll cross through tranquil islands, pristine beaches, and over seemingly endless stretches of sparkling turquoise water. You might want to stop along the way at a fresh fruit stand or sea turtle rescue center. Once in Key West, it’s time to savor the atmosphere of America’s most laid-back spot. Take a swim, go snorkeling, enjoy fresh seafood and ocean breezes at a local restaurant, and don’t miss the dazzling sunset – it’s perfect with a slice of the iconic key lime pie.

Another day in paradise: tour the Ernest Hemingway House, visit the spot that marks the most southernmost point in the US (and see if you can make out Cuba, just 80 miles away), enjoy water sports, take a deep-sea fishing excursion, and more. Alternatively consider a visit to one of the US's most unique national parks: Dry Tortugas, where you can visit a historic fort and snorkel crystal clear water to see dazzling protected coral reefs. Or embrace the free-spirited Key West attitude and simply see where the day takes you.

Enjoy the gorgeous drive through the Keys back to Miami, where you’ll have another day to soak up the sun, play in the waves, and savor the vibrant culture.

Say goodbye to Florida as you return your rental car at the airport and board your flight home.
