See San Francisco

San Francisco is the friendliest and artsiest city in the US. Here are five things to make sure you do when in ‘Shaky Town’.

Golden Gate Bridge

Golden Gate Bridge Sunset

This famous bridge is possibly the most well-known thing about San Francisco, and it merits a visit for sure. Put on sunscreen for your walk across the famous bridge or else you will end up with an asymmetrical burn, still worth it though!

Fisherman’s Wharf / Pier 39

Fisherman’s Wharf / Pier 39 Sign

Here is a little bit of everything San Francisco has to offer. Shopping, great sweet and savory food, street performers, museums, art galleries, and a chance to see the sea lions that hang out on the rocky shore.

Alcatraz Island

Alcatraz Prison Island

The famous former prison can be reached by ferry. Once you arrive you will receive a headset and a tap to listen to the tour at your leisure. The story about the prison escape is the most interesting. Outside you can walk around the island and enjoy the grounds. A truly unique and eerie National Historic Landmark.

Lands’ End

Lands’ End Ariel view

This little slice of heaven feels completely isolated from the city and you have a less touristy, more authentic experience. There are hiking trails winding around a rugged coastline with hidden gems such as Sutro bath and caves. Located on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge, it provides awesome views of the city and the bridge, especially from the Cliff House Bar. It gets chilly by the water so dress in layers!

Golden Gate Park

Golden Gate Park

The Golden Gate Park has plenty of attractions to offer but if you are short on time I would recommend the trio of the Japanese Tea Garden, California Academy of Sciences, and the De Young (fine arts) museum, all located in the Music Concourse Area. These are connected by an open-air plaza that is often filled with street performers and artists.

Seeing Miami in an RV

Miami beach view of water and coastal city

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!

Outside in the City

Boat Tour

Take a boat tour or an airboat with one of many companies in Miami. Get the chance to see flowers and wildlife in nature! Alligators and baby alligators are commonly seen on boat tours.

Buffalo Tiger’s Airboat Tours

Alligators in the Everglades
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
Miami Bayfront Park


Bayfront Park, Miami

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?!

Bayside Marketplace

Visit Bayside in the afternoon or evening for live music. This is a great place to shop for souvenirs, hang out, people watch, and grab a bite to eat!

Others:

Miami Design District
Food Tours
Coconut Grove

History & Museums

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
‘Villa Vizcaya’ is a former estate of James Deering, a successful antiquities collector. It is in the Coconut Grove neighborhood on the Biscayne Bay. There are Italian Renaissance gardens and the architecture and furnishings were also inspired by Italy when the estate was built in the early 1900s.

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!

Landmarks include the American Airlines Arena, Marlins Park, and the Freedom Tower.

Florida City Camp Site and RV Park

Turquoise waters at Clearwater Beach

Spread along a narrow 3 mile stretch of the Pinellas Peninsula on the Golf Coast, Clearwater straddles Tampa Bay to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Visitors can relax on the beach and swim or spend the day playing beach volleyball, taking a dolphin-watching cruise, rent a fishing boat, or go parasailing.

One of the world’s most perfect stretches of sand, Hulopo’e Beach can be found at the base of Manele Bay, a designated marine preserve. The Bay is filled with colorful fish making snorkeling and diving a must. Plus swimming in 70-degree water doesn’t hurt either.
