Hey, girl hey! I love living my best life in a destination where people come to visit. I was thinking of all the places I frequent here in South Florida so I created a quick guide of hotspots I love to visit.
The tri-county area is a melting pot rich in culture and diversity so there’s a wide variety of activities, food, and tropical adventures you can explore. From the beautiful emerald and aqua blue beaches to tropical greenery and palm trees, there are so many hidden treasures to discover.
Here are a few exclusive hotspots I frequent the most and would suggest visiting while in Fort Lauderdale or Miami:
Beaches
Let’s talk about the weather! Outside of humidity in the summer months, I love the climate. The sun pumps up the temperature during summer months, so staying cool and hydrated is super important. Although I’m a Floridian, I didn’t start enjoying the beaches until recent years. It’s so relaxing to just lay out on the beach and soak up some sun (Golden goddess for the win!). Whether I’m with friends, or by myself, the beach is always a popular option!
If you are visiting the beaches here in South Florida, check out these local beach areas:
