We receive emails all the time from visitors who have about 24 hours to blow either before or after a cruise vacation from the Port of Miami. If you find yourself in this very good predicament, here are a few suggestions:
Getting Here
Grab an Uber or Lyft and head across the causeway to South Beach.
Visit South Pointe Park
South Pointe Park is a beautiful 17-acre park and pier located on the southern-most tip of Miami Beach. Stroll out on the South Pointe Pier and watch as anglers reel in their catch and get a close-up of giant cruise ships gliding through Government Cut.
Eat lunch at Joe’s Stone Crabs
A Miami institution for more than 100 years -the restaurant is only open during Stone Crab season which runs from mid-October to mid-May. The place is busy but definitely worth the wait!
Hit the beach
Take a stroll along our turquoise waters and white-sand beaches or rent a lounger & umbrella and kick back a while.

Ocean Drive.
