Four Must-Haves for Unforgettable Luxury East Coast Family Vacations
Exciting Outdoor Activities
Because Miami has such pleasant weather, you and the children will want to spend as much time outside as possible while you are there. To everyone’s good fortune, Miami offers many practical activities for families. It is guaranteed to keep everyone engaged all day long.
Here are some simple things you can do to give your family an experience they won’t soon forget in Miami:
Visit the best beaches on the East Coast.
Crandon Park
Crandon Park is located on Key Biscayne Island, just outside Miami, and offers two miles of family-friendly, calm beach. There are lots of spots to grill for a family adventure and plenty of shelter for when the heat becomes too much.
Crandon Park Beach is a lesser-known gem on Key Biscayne. Spend the day relaxing on one of Miami’s least-visited and most picturesque beaches. The lovely park is also great for a day at the beach or a get-together with friends and family over a barbecue.
Finally, Crandon Park has a carousel, an outdoor skating rink, and breathtaking vistas of the ocean and downtown Miami for those who know where to look.
North Shore Open Space Park
This beach lives true to its name because there is so much open space. Furthermore, North Shore Park is located far from downtown Miami’s skyscrapers, giving the impression of being on a desert island with a magnificent sandy beach and gorgeous Seagrape trees.
Tourists staying in downtown Miami vacation rental hotels are unlikely to locate North Shore Park since it is a safe distance from the city. Therefore, North Shore Park is the ideal location for a quiet beach day away from the crowds. North Shore Beach is also open 24 hours a day, making it a great area to visit if you enjoy the beach after dark.
Bal Harbour Beach
Bal Harbour Beach is one of Miami’s most exclusive and tranquil beaches, with many millionaires and billionaires calling it home. The Bal Harbour Shops, an upmarket retail mall with designer items and fine-dining restaurants, is well-known in the neighborhood.
Because this quiet and wealthy neighborhood has few public parking spaces. It is mainly frequented by homeowners and guests who can afford to stay here. Furthermore, the top resorts in Miami are positioned immediately on the beach, making it easy for travelers to enjoy a seaside holiday.
The trails are nice and well-kept, and you can walk without running into too many people. So instead, a large number of people come to ride their bicycles. Because it’s one of Florida’s quiet beaches, there aren’t many noisy party places nearby, but there are many art events and cafés barely a block away.
Cool-off at Rapids Water Park
Baby Blue
A single-rider, tubeless, high-energy ride that begins in a dark, confined chute before launching into the bowl at full speed. A steady deceleration pushes the rider towards the exit at the bowl’s center and into a splash drop landing after many high-speed spins around the circumference.
Big Red
A high-energy tube ride for one or two riders that begins in an enclosed dark tunnel before launching into the bowl at full speed. A steady deceleration brings riders towards the exit at the bowl’s center after repeated high-speed spins around the outside circumference.
Body Blasters
There are no mats or tubes — just you! As you speed through 1,000 feet on an enclosed flume, you’ll experience heart-pounding drops and pulse-racing dips and bends.
Old Yellar
The four flumes that kicked it all off! Riders plunge 1600 feet of twists and turn on these four spiraling slides, which are still a park favorite. Each one will provide you with a unique experience.
Raging Rapids
This multi-person raft attraction takes you on a loop in an enclosed flume before revealing a sequence of magnificent drops and dips culminating in a vast splashdown. People of all ages may share the thrill.
See Miami from the water with a private yacht charter.
Consider scheduling a yacht charter to explore Miami’s stunning coastlines and turquoise waterways if you’re searching for a memorable, one-of-a-kind experience. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway or want to spend some time on the open seas, yacht charters provide the perfect opportunity for an entire maritime experience.
When you book a private boat charter in Miami, you can see the city from the outside. So whether you’re speeding across the Bay in a speedboat or cruising out to sea on a superyacht, no vacation to Miami is complete without a trip on the water.
Tee-off at a stunning golf course
The Biltmore Hotel and Spa and Golf
1200 Anastasia Ave, Coral Gables, FL 33134
Donald Ross constructed the 18-hole golf course at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables in 1926, and it had a par of 71.
This course has a lot of rights and left doglegs, which adds to the difficulty and makes it a suitable match for the University of Miami women’s team, who competes in it. The island green on the par-three 17th hole is surrounded on three sides by water.
The enormous Biltmore Hotel, a participant in the Historic Hotels of America program, may be seen through a few holes in the background. After your round, go just beyond the clubhouse to cool down in the most prestigious hotel pool in the United States, conveniently located on the property.
The Soffer Golf Course at Turnberry Isle Miami
19999 West Country Club Blvd, Miami, FL 33180
At Turnberry Isle Country Club, Robert Trent Jones designed two 18-hole championship courses. Unfortunately, Sr. Ray Floyd changed the curriculum in 2007. Despite this, he preserved the essential aspects of the original design. The Soffer Course is the more extended and demanding than Turnberry’s two golf courses, stretching over 7,000 yards from the back tees.
The resort is just around 300 acres long. As a result, Soffer is fundamentally narrow, with holes that meander alongside one another and are separated by towering trees or mounding. The twisting track contains several challenging doglegs, and the undulating landscape offers a variety of elevation changes.
