A must-see for anyone who wants to get a sense of what makes South Florida unique. Brush up on your Spanish before your visit.

A tropical garden where the plants grow out of bath tubs, toilet bowls and sinks, grouped around a driftwood shack that in defiance of the laws of nature withstands every tropical storm. The lush vegetation creates private booths where the staff serves 13 ounce burgers. Watch the yachts go up and down the intracoastal waterway. South Florida weirdness at its most delicious and most picturesque.

$18 buy you a large pizza and a pitcher of beer. The setting would be worth the money even without food: you sit outdoors, overlooking the palm trees on Hollywood's beach, with great people watching right in front of you and cruise ships going by on the horizon. The pizza is average at best - but you can't beat the experience. When you have finished the beer and pizza, you can walk over to the band stand and listen to some of the better local bands perform. South Florida at its best.

Of course we have miles and miles of the greatest beaches close by. What makes Sunny Isles special is that at the North end of the beach there is a reef about 300 feet out that is under 10 feet of water. Good swimmers can reach it from the shore and dive down to the reef to see spectacular fish. Don't do it unless you are a confident swimmer.

Shopping
The Sawgrass Mills Mall is the second most visited attraction in all of Florida (after Disney). Do I need to say more? This is where foreign visitors spend the money they saved with AirBnB. The many outlet stores might have lost some of their luster in the recent appreciation of the dollar.

Entertainment & Activities
Scuba Diving is big here in South Florida. North of the Florida Keys, Pompano Beach has the best collection of reefs and wrecks. And of all the local operators, South Florida Diving is my favorite. They are close to the outlet (shorter boat rides) are friendly, and they don't "nickel and dime" you.

Getting Around
The Water Taxi is the best and cheapest way to appreciate the "Venice of America". There are plenty of stops in Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood. The boat captains point out the most spectacular mansions and boats and their celebrity owners. Many stops are at or close to restaurants.
