Miami is a great location to pick up your RV because there is plenty of beachy campgrounds, it’s close driving distance to the Everglades and there are endless options about where to go after Florida. Do you want to travel up the coast of Florida? Maybe continue up the east coast towards New York? Or perhaps head west with a one-way RV motorhome rental and drive along the Gulf of Mexico to New Orleans and Houston? Whatever you decide, make sure you check out what Miami has to offer before heading on the road!

Wynwood
The Wynwood area is known for its graphic street art. The ‘walls’ here are covered in amazing, colorful art pieces. Walk around, enjoy the art, and maybe drop-in to a craft brewery. There are also lots of great restaurants in this area.
Bayfront Park
The Bayfront Park is 32-acres of maintained greenery located in the center of downtown Miami. Take part in the activities held here or catch a show at the amphitheater. There is a sandy beach, a waterfall, a tropical rock garden, and vendors to quench your thirst. Taking a stroll around the park will give you the opportunity to see monuments such as a World War 2 Veteran’s Memorial, the Challenger Memorial, Statues of Claude Pepper, Julia Tuttle, and Christopher Columbus, and the Mildred and Claude Pepper’s Fountain. The park extends along Biscayne Bay leading to the Bayside Marketplace.
Attractions & Entertainment
Zoological Wildlife Foundation
The ZWF is no ordinary zoo. When you arrive you will be appointed a knowledgeable guide to lead you around the area. You have the opportunity to get personal with the animals and even hold them. The center truly cares about providing the best quality of life to the animals as possible. A great family activity to see local and exotic animals.
Dolphin Mall
Outlet shopping, anyone?!

Perez Art Museum Miami
If you like modern art, the PAMM is for you.
Little Havana
Culture, history, good food, and even better cigars! Little Havana is named after the capital of Cuba and is appropriate because the Cuban-American population here is large. You can get by with English but a Spanish phrasebook is always handy. Sip on a mojito after taking a walking tour of this colorful district. Make sure to seek a cigar shop that rolls the cigars in front of your eyes!
