Nice experience. Took bus from our hotel on Collins Ave. (A1A). Many shops and entertainment with pretty marina view.

We got a tip from a friend who had moved to miami a few years back and said we should take the ride from ft. lauderdale to bayside for the day. What a great tip!!! This place has something for everyone. Its a huge outdoor mall on the marina with the boats coming in and out. Tons of restaurants with... More

From music, restaurants, shops, & people, you can find an incredible variety in this one place. Even though the night we went it was filled with runners that had just apparently finished some kind of a race, it was lovely walking around at night, with a full moon, the lights, the live music, or the bar music. People dancing &... More
