"Party in the city where the heat is on All night, on the beach till the break of dawn Welcome to Miami"

This is how actor/Singer Will Smith describes Miami in his song and how right he is. Blessed with unparalleled beaches and temperate climate throughout the year, Miami is one of the best coastal destinations in the world. The city is packed with amazing food, adrenaline pumping sports, sparkling waters, rolling beaches and of course the fabled bikini clad beauties on them. It is a place where tourists go to 'let their hair down' and enjoy life to the fullest. It has even been rated the Healthiest City by Natural Health Magazine.

Boating enthusiasts, divers and water sports make Miami the ideal holiday spot for travellers who like their vacations to be exciting and fun. The quintessential hot-spot in Miami is the South Beach. Known for its excellent shopping locales and happening party life South beach is one place you cannot miss when visiting Miami.

"Miami is one of these great places. It is a really sensual, physically beautiful place."

The causeway between down-town Miami and Key Biscayne houses the Miami Seaquarium. The outdoor aquarium is one of the best in the world and contains some very rare aquatic specimens.
