Greater Miami Convention and Visitor's Bureau

I recently had the opportunity to roam around the website for the Greater Miami Convention and Visitor's Bureau.  They have a lot of useful and informative information about Miami and vacation planning in the area.  

They offer planning guides, lists of attractions, travel advisors, restaurants, spas and golf course, etc.  They even have apps with local information.

This may be a good resource in addition to this blog, of course, for information about Miami and the beaches.

I hope you find everything you are looking for and hope you have a terrific vacation!

Come back and post your comments.  Let us know what you like to do while 

in South Florida on vacation.

Visit Miami Beach

Miami Beach with its fabulous people, fabulous beaches, fabulous shopping and fabulous restaurants is a great place to spend your vacation.

The Atlantic Ocean has warm, clear waters and it’s a wonderful place to swim, take on water sports, or participate in numerous enjoyable activities. There is plenty to do for people of all ages and activity levels.

The beach is perfect for flying a kite as the sun is setting, picking up a game of beach volleyball, football,  badminton, boogie-boarding or wake boarding, snorkeling, jet skiing, parasailing, kayaking, swimming or sun-bathing (with appropriate sun protection of course).

Another enjoyable activity for children of all ages is fishing with a hand-held net. You’d be surprised at the amazing little creatures you pick up in your net.

From South Beach to Mid Beach we have a tree-lined boardwalk which offers the possibility of walking, running, biking or rollerblading while still taking in the sites, literally surrounded by the ocean and trendy hotels and restaurants as you move along the boardwalk.

Visit our fabulous city and enjoy all it has to offer.

This beautiful restaurant offers a "true" Miami experience.  The building was once Miami’s Fire Station No. 4, and was built in the Mediterranean Revival style.  The restaurant is elegant and provides great ambiance.  It is located across the street form the Mary Brickell Village shops. 
The building offers multiple areas to enjoy, like the delightful rooftop dining terrace with couches and a beautiful view of the city.  The indoor dining area is decorated in white and features beautiful floral arrangements and graceful lighting.

We dined in the garden dining room on the first floor. The decor was chic and we found the restaurant to be charming.

The meals are superb (at least the ones I've tasted).  I had the eggplant with smoked mozzarella for my appetizer( appetizers are included with the price of the entrees).   The appetizer was delicious!  I was stuffed by the time the entree came, I ate a little and brought the leftovers to my son.  We both enjoyed it very much.  I had the pan seared Chilean Sea Bass with the seafood ragout.  My husband ordered the shrimp and mahi-mahi scampi with pasta and enjoyed it immensely.

Our experience was delightful and was made better by the fact that dinner was priced very well.

Go by and come back and share your comments on the experience.
