Miami Florida Tourism At a GlanceBest Time to Visit Miami Florida
Much like other southern cities, Miami is hot in the summer. But, with the sprawling Atlantic to cool you down, it's a great time to go. Many families hit Miami Beach during the summer, when the kids are out of school. Another great time to visit Miami is during the winter (October-April), when snowbirds abound. Prices are higher during this time because average temperatures top out in the mid 70s and the humidity is reduced by half. Click Here to find hotels in Miami.

January-March: Highs between 75-79; Lows between 59-64
April-August: Highs between 82-89; Lows between 68-77
September-December: Highs between 77-88; Lows between 62-76 Transportation
You'll need a car to get from one area of Miami to another. It's pretty sprawled out. If you're staying in South Beach, don't worry about a car. You have all the restaurants, attractions, nightlife and daytime activities at your fingertips. Miami is divided into quadrants: northwest, northeast, southwest, southeast. These meet at Miami Avenue, which separates east from west, and Flagler Street, which separates north from south. Avenues and courts run north-south; streets, terraces, and ways run east-west. Roads run diagonally, northwest-southeast. Don't be afraid to ask for directions. As for taxis, beware. We don't put it past a Miami cab driver to take advantage of tourists. In-Season Costs
Florida's high season is during the winter. You can expect hotel prices in Miami to skyrocket during this time. Restaurant prices remain fairly stable throughout the year, although you can cash in on some pretty good deals. Florida Tourism - Miami Attractions, Activities and Day Trips
Tack on a visit to the beaches of Virginia Key and Key Biscayne. From here you can depart on a diving trip or fishing excursion or learn to windsurf. Head over to Coral Gables to take in the 1920's Mediterranean Revival architecture in the city center and the majestic Biltmore Hotel. That night indulge in an evening of fine dining at your choice of gourmet restaurants in Coral Gables. About four hours south you'll run into Key West, a thriving spot for nightlife, fishing and complete relaxation. Keep in mind that you can get to the West Coast of Florida in a short three hours. Head over to Naples if time allows.

Biscayne National Park
National Park
Category: Key Biscayne National Park near Miami, Florida
Description of this Miami area Attraction: Its a moody place, Biscayne National Park.
Some days, Biscayne Bay's shallow waters are glassy smooth, a window on another world. Other times, the wind whistles and whips, creating white waves that bite like teeth at an angry sky.
Some days are quiet and still, the silence broken only by the sound of ocean ripples lapping at the mangrove-fringed shoreline, the exhalation of a manatee, or a crab scuttling across the leaf-strewn forest floor. On weekends, the laughter of children, the sizzle of burgers on a grill, or the "woosh" of water being cleared from a snorkel takes over.
Some days, the water over the reef is so clear that every detail on the bottom is visible, and zooming across it on a boat can seem like flying on air. Then there are blustery days when it is milky with mud stirred up by wind and wave.
Even the 10,000 year human history of the place reflects its temperamental nature. Idyllic vignettes of a Tequesta Indian man free-diving for conch from a dugout canoe, or a Bahamian woman watching the sunset across a tidal creek after a hard day's work contrast with violent shipwrecks, acts of piracy, and a long, hard struggle for environmental protection.
We invite you to use this website as a way to test the waters, and hope that you will plan a visit to immerse yourself in the many moods of Biscayne National Park.

DuBois Pioneer Home
Tour this 1898 Historic Home
Category: Jupiter Museum near Miami, Florida
User Rating: 
Description of this Miami area Attraction: The 1898 shingle-style home sits atop a Native American Shell Mound and contains period furnishings, clothing and artifacts. The home was built by Harry and Susan DuBois and provides a unique glimpse of life in the area at the turn of the century. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Harry DuBois was born February 10, 1871 (d. 1924), on a farm in Holmdel, New Jersey. His father, John Rue DuBois (1844-1914), and mother, Anna Douglass DuBois (1848-1928), had an apple orchard in New Jersey and grew vegetables. When Harry was 16 years old, he came to Florida in 1887 to work in an orange grove on Merritt Island (Brevard County). In 1892, he sailed into the Jupiter Inlet and noticed the Indian shell mound and liked the location. He bought 20 acres of land on what is now the Intra-coastal Waterway, and grew pineapples on 10 acres. DuBois befriended Captain Charles Carlin and became part of Carlin’s crew at the Jupiter Life Saving Station and helped him build the DuBois Home.
