Start calm and glassy at Oleta River State Park or Virginia Key — rent a SUP or kayak and glide through the mangrove tunnels before the crowds.

Pull up to Boater’s Grill on Key Biscayne or Monty’s in Coconut Grove for fresh seafood with your feet practically in the bay.
3:00 PM · Afternoon
Head to Biscayne National Park for a snorkel over living reef, or open the throttle on a jet ski rental along the coast.
6:30 PM · Golden hour
Close with a sunset sail out of Bayside Marina, then dinner at Garcia’s Seafood Grille on the Miami River.
