Top Things to Do in Miami – Beyond the Rod & Reel

Miami is a city that pulses with life, culture, and unforgettable experiences—both on the water and off. While you're in town for a fishing adventure with Blue Dream Fishing, there’s a whole world to explore once the rods are reeled in. From sun-soaked outdoor activities to vibrant neighborhoods and delicious eats, Miami offers something for every kind of traveler. Whether you're traveling solo, with friends, or bringing the family along, here are some top things to do in Miami that pair perfectly with your time on the water.

1. Wynwood Walls – Street Art & Local Culture

Just a short drive from the coast, the Wynwood Walls is an open-air art gallery that brings graffiti and street art to life. It's one of Miami’s most iconic cultural stops, perfect for photos, inspiration, and a laid-back stroll through the city’s creative heart. After your offshore charter with Blue Dream Fishing, unwind with a walk among colorful murals and stop by local shops, cafés, and breweries.

2. South Pointe Park – Ocean Views & Family Vibes

If you're looking to relax after a day at sea, head to South Pointe Park, located at the southern tip of Miami Beach. It offers panoramic views of the ocean, cruise ships sailing by, and even the fishing boats you may have passed on your trip. The park features walking trails, splash pads for kids, and picnic spots—making it perfect for families or couples.

3. Joe’s Stone Crab – Iconic Miami Dining

A trip to Miami isn’t complete without tasting the ocean’s bounty on your plate. Joe’s Stone Crab, a Miami staple since 1913, is the go-to spot for fresh seafood in a classic setting. It’s an excellent way to celebrate your catch or simply enjoy the flavors of the sea after a big game day with Blue Dream Fishing.

4. Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science

For a mix of education and entertainment, the Frost Museum of Science in downtown Miami is a family-friendly attraction featuring a planetarium, aquarium, and hands-on exhibits. Kids and adults alike can learn about marine ecosystems—the perfect complement to your real-world fishing experience on the water.

5. Little Havana – Cuban Culture & Coffee

Dive into the rhythm and flavor of Little Havana, one of Miami’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Walk along Calle Ocho, enjoy live music, and don’t forget to stop at Versailles Restaurant for an authentic Cuban meal. It’s a great cultural counterpoint to your saltwater adventure, and a reminder of Miami’s rich heritage.

6. Everglades National Park – Wild Florida

Just west of the city, Everglades National Park offers a completely different outdoor adventure. Take an airboat tour, spot alligators, or hike through unique wetland habitats. It’s a great day trip to pair with your offshore excursion, giving you both ocean and swamp in one visit to Miami.

7. Bayside Marketplace – Shopping & Waterfront Fun

Cap off your trip with a stop at Bayside Marketplace, a lively hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment right on the waterfront. Grab a bite, listen to live music, or hop on a boat cruise to see the city from the water (again!). It’s also a great spot to pick up souvenirs or just relax by the bay.

Whether you're here for serious sportfishing or a laid-back family vacation, Miami is packed with experiences that extend well beyond the boat. At Blue Dream Fishing, we’re proud to be your gateway to the deep blue—but we’re also here to help you make the most of your entire stay.
