Bienvenidos! This is where Latin flair meets coastal cool. Start with a stroll through Bayside Marketplace, a waterfront tourist spot buzzing with open-air cafés, boutiques, and boats gliding across Biscayne Bay. Hop on a water taxi for a narrated tour with shimmering skyline views. The home of the Miami Heat is a few blocks north, along with Pérez Art Museum Miami, where a sculpture garden overlooks the bayfront, complete with alfresco dining and stylish swinging chairs. 

Take a taxi or ride-share into Little Havana, where Calle Ocho brims with cigar rollers at work, murals of Cuban legends, and domino tiles clacking in Máximo Gómez Park. A cortado at a ventanita keeps you energized, fueling your walk past craft galleries and bakeries, where the aroma of fresh guava pastries lingers in the air.

Head over to Wynwood to feed your artsy side, where warehouses become canvases for colorful street art. Wynwood Walls showcases ever-changing murals in a vibrant open-air museum that turns every corner into a photo stop.

Food takes center stage across the city. Don’t miss stone crab claws when in season — try Garcia’s on the Miami River or Joe’s on South Beach — savor fresh ceviche accented with lime and dig into a classic Cuban sandwich pressed to perfection. When the sun drops, Miami keeps its rhythm with salsa dancing, rooftop lounges, and DJ clubs packed with A-listers.

Sand meets city on South Beach, where pastel-colored lifeguards define the beach vibe and Ocean Drive hums with Art Deco charm. Take a short walk through the district in the glow of neon lights on façades preserved from the 1930s.

With art at every turn, flavors that span continents, and a shoreline built for long days and longer nights, Miami greets your Escape with Effy charter cruise with an unmistakable mix of culture and fun.
