Enjoy everything Bayfront Park has to offer
Located on the east side of Biscayne Boulevard, the park was refurbished and given a fresh new look in the ’80s. With the park’s electronically-controlled Pepper Fountain, an amphitheater for a wide range of musical events and performances, a tower for laser illuminations, and historical monuments, you’ll find the park has something for both locals and tourists alike.
Get a taste of California at Malibu Farm
Only one of the restaurants on the beach with a true oceanfront view, Malibu Farm (opening in 2018) hails straight from SoCal! With delicious menu items like Green Eggs and Ham “Shakshouka,” açaí bowls, and Coconut Blackberry Baked French Toast, you need to dine at this gorgeous restaurant at least once during your visit.
